Croc of Shoes
November 8, 2007 Style, Trend StopperOK. Let it be known that Crocs are the most horrid trend on the block right now. I don’t use this word very often, but I truly loathe these rubber catastrophes. It’s not that I am a crazy fashion freak or anything, but honestly, I have searched and searched for a redeeming quality from these Crocs and I truly have yet to find one.
According to Wikipedia, these shoes were originally meant to be for boating/outdoor purposes because they are slip-resistant and have a non-marking sole. Well, I have a few initial reactions to this. First, I would like to clarify that ‘outdoor purposes’ does not mean walking down the street or at the beach. If you really bought these things for their true “purpose” then keep them on your boat or up in the mountains please, and away from people.
For my own sanity and for the sake of America’s reputation, this trend must be stopped.
Do your part and do not encourage this irrational behavior. No, not even on babies..because while they make look cute now, think about what it is instilling in these innocent children’s minds. You don’t want to teach our world’s future bad habits at such an early age now do you?
With Winter rapidly approaching, hopefully this trend will die out with the Autumn leaves for the mostpart. Just beware of the Winter Mammoth Crocs… fur + rubber = bad news bears. Consider yourself warned.
PS - Just when I thought that there was no one in this universe who could possibly hate Crocs as much as I do, I came across this site one fateful night. I was inspired. I guess there is humanity in the world…even though it may be a little crazy. Check it out: http://ihatecrocsblog.blogspot.com/.
