Bling for your Crocs
By now I think we're all familiar with Crocs, the lightweight rubber half-shoe, half-clog that come in a variety of some pretty bright (and pretty darn tacky) colors. I guess the vast array of colors wasn't enough for Crocs connoisseurs, however, because you can now personalize your Crocs with footballs, flowers, flags, and peace signs. Jibbitz makes these little rubber inserts that go in the holes found on the standard Crocs. They remind me of the once popular BeDazzler -- except it's for a pair of clogs. With Jibbitz, it's possible to make Crocs even more tacky! Pick out a few letter inserts and spell your name on your Crocs, or even show how much you love your dog with a rubber poodle insert.
I can't say that I agree with doing this, as I'm not a big fan of the normal Crocs in the first place. So, unless you're less than 10 or older than 60 -- yes, I think a grandma could pull it off! -- then stay away!
A set of 7 Jibbitz will run you $17.43, or about $2.50 for individual pieces.

I thought and still do think that they are butt-ugly. But once you wear them, they are a hard habit to break. The comfort makes up for the ugliness 10-fold. I'm 43, but on the go nonstop with 4 kids, they are better than old lady naturalizer shoes or something like that. If they still bug people that much I think that I'll get a few more pairs!
