Could someone enlighten me about what is so appealing about these shoes? I have been wondering for awhile now!
Who will admit to owning a pair and where do you actually wear them??? Take my poll!
okay.
so I do NOT have a pair.
BUT...I have tried on a pair.
they are SUPER comfortable.
but their uglyness outweighs the comfort for me.
I guess I'm shallow like that! :)
bwhahaha!

I have a comment just like Sarah. I think they are so ugly and I scoff at them every time I see them. Then I tried them on at the store one day. They are SOOOO comfortable. But again, fashion before comfort sometimes!

Yes, I own a pair and love them. I got them last year when we took a family trip to Disney. They are so comfortable. My kids both have a pair. I can't get hubby to get a pair. I wear them on Fridays to work when we have our casual day!

I own a pair and wear them everywhere. Sure they aren't the most fabulous looking things but it's the comfort for me. I have heel and bone spurs in my feet and the softness of these shoes allows me to walk tons in comfort. I use them as house shoes too in my non-carpeted areas as that tile bothers my feet something fierce. I recently tossed my cute Old Navy flip flops in all the colors I had in trade for a pair of the Croc flip flops....love them!!!! And I sent a pair as a gift to my friend in Utah too.

This is the second blog I've read that was dedicated to Crocs and their ugliness.
I think they are ugly too but I'm telling you when you get a size 3 on your two year old they are as cute as sin!
I would wear them even though they are ugly I just have never but a pair. They look hella comfy!

Yes, I admit, I own a pair. I bought them when I was 7 months pregnant. They were a life save. Yes, they are quite crazy looking. Now, I mainly wear them to garden. They are wonderful to get dirt on and then just rinse off with the hose. :)

Yep, I have a pair. I thought they were pretty ugly too and swore them off. Now I have a pair and Annika has a few. I'm actually gonna get her the mary jane style, they are soooo frickin cute!

I think you know how I feel about this...
Ridiculous things!
Only small children should wear them.
Bought a Croc-like pair of shoes and they were not uber comfortable.
Look like cartoon feet on everyone.
Please don't even consider....save yourself!!

I am a croc addict. I got mine last year and only take them off for bed...okay that may be stretching it! I am a nurse and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I've owned. I plan on getting the flip flops this weekend!

and don't listen to simone....if you are going to buy a pair make sure they are crocs and not knock off's...knock off's are the worse they are not comfortable at all and there is a difference!! BIG TIME!
let me go tell simone about herself now... =)

I hate these shoes! I will NEVER own a pair!

Well, I don't own a pair but after looking at your post I had to go to crocs.com to see what the flip flop looks like. I wear flip flops all summer long and my feet are killing me! I just asked my mom to see if they have them at her work. I actually may give in and buy the flip flops.
Jasmine owns a pair and loves them, she'll wear them everyday! I must agree... kids look cute in them, especially toddlers. I saw a little girl with them the other night, she was maybe 2ish, she was sooooo cute!
But i did hear that you aren't allowed to wear them in hospitals anymore, because of the static or something from the shoes and the floor messes with the heart equipment. I dunno... I'll let you know if i end up getting a pair! :)

I have a pair because:
1) I got a tattoo on the top of my foot and needed something that would allow air in while I was at work ... which brings me to point...
2) I have to wear shoes with a strap on the back for work ... so this is about the only summer shoe I could find!!

These shoes are so weird looking, I have always wondered what the fascination was with them. I've heard from SO many people are comfortable they are but I haven't gave in and bought myself a pair. After reading all these comments I want to. LOL
