A part of me just died.

I'm currently listening to two co-workers have a, rather lengthy, discussion about Croc's high heels and how awesome they are.

Re: A part of me just died.

  • I didn't even know those existed!  I want my innocence back :(

     I disagree with the statement below:

  • Wow, how horrible. I have to admit that I don't generally wear high heels, but there are so many beautiful heels out there and Crocs are just awful.
  • :(  Sad.  And here I thought we were so similar, uwhuskygirl.  I have two pairs...
  • I didn't know these existed either!

    I just looked them up and they remind me of a Camper shoe, just less hippie like. No offense to anyone who wears Campers, but they're NMS. 

    Crocs though, if anyone gets down with those, then we can't be friends anymore.

    Oh, enlighten me then. Seriously. I don't get this. I'm putting my snarkiness aside right now and I'm genuinely curious. Big Smile

    ETA: I'm not anti-plastic shoe! I have 2 pairs of rain boots and a pair of Melissa booties. I totally wear them all of the time. I just don't get the point of Croc heels.

    Ha.  I don't honestly own any pairs of them, I just enjoy posting things to make it awkward for the rest of y'all.  ;) 

    Those are the single ugliest pair of shoes I've ever seen, even more scary because I'm sure people wear them to dress up.  Which is not okay.  I do have a girlfriend who owns a pair of Crocs, though, but she only wears them for yard work because they hose off real well when she's out trampling around in the mud.  She does say they're the comfiest shoes ever but I still don't care. 

    Those Crocs high heels, though - they're both comfy AND stylish... Wink

    I was picturing your jaw drop when I read that post, lol

    also, I think Crocs are perfectly fine for gardening, I mean, I don't wear my nicest heels to do yard work.  It's when people turn yard cloths into restaurant cloths that I get annoyed.

    BTW I don't own Crocs, just saying I think that's the one exception

    Honestly, who needs Louboutins and Jimmy Choos in their closet when they can have Crocs heels?  The perfect shoe for every high society occasion.

    Though I will say I just went out to the Crocs website and was surprised to see they have some semi-normal looking heels.  They're still not my style per say, but that's because I generally wear only boring, low-ish heels in neutral colors, but they apparently have a whole new line called "YOU by Crocs" (WTF?) that makes shoes that I would say remind me of something from the Jessica Simpson / Carlos Santana lines... but for like, 45-year-old women.

    I agree.  But, if I were to buy a pair for that purpose, H would think that means I'm cut out to do yard work.  We don't have a yard right now (yay city living in SF!), but when we do, I don't need to be sending H mixed messages on either front: (1) that doing yard work is something I want / am capable of doing; or (2) that shoes made of plastic are okay.  I've worked for years to train him on appropriate gift-giving and I would hate to undo that all by purchasing a pair of Crocs and having him think, "Huh, wifey apparently likes cheap, ugly plastic shoes."  Wink  

  • I'm all about comfort.  But, I'd go w/ nice flats any day b/f buying fugly heels!

    hahahaha

    my point was that it's ok for OTHER people to wear them gardening.  if I'm going to garden, I'll just wear flip flops or whatever, I wouldn't buy a pair to designate for that purpose.

    A gardener works even better. Wink


  • I have a pair of black Crocs wedge heels that I got for the honeymoon so I could trash 'em in Hawaii and not give a damn about ruining a decent pair of shoes. They're actually not atrocious; if you're not looking at them that closely, they look like any other pair of very plain black wedges.

    Oddly, they survived the experience just fine, but that's why I bought 'em, lol.

    Does that count?

    DH and I both have crocs that are lined with fleece. I couldn't live without them b/c the grass is wet like 9 monts out of the year or more. Whenever we take the dog out or get the mail or trash cans or whatever, I don't feel like putting on normal shoes. I just want to slip my feet into something warm and dry and that won't take a full week to dry off after getting soaked in the wet grass.
    I have a pair, too.  I wear them as camp shoes when backpacking (they weigh nothing and feel like clouds after boots all day), and when gardening.  They do not pretend to be fashionable, though -- just light, soft and easy-to-clean.
