The end of the world is nigh. Hope has finally been extinguished. I share your outrage and grief:

I have never owned a pair of crocs or the look-a-likes, but I have friends that love them for their comfort, the fact that getting them wet is OK and that they absorb shock from working on concrete floors. I think they are colourful & fun looking. And I think that the style of the heeled ones is nice & they are cute. They would look nice to wear to the pool, and a bit upscale from your rainbows~Oh, you guys probably hate those as well. I wish you people would not be so harsh in your judgments against what other people wear. Some of the clothes I see on here are absolutely ridiculous, but they have the right tag and are pricey so you run out & buy it.

UGLY.

I love the idea of different croc styles. I have been unable to wear different types of shoes due to a latex allergy. Most crocs are latex free. For the first time in about 10 years I have been able to go into the store and buy shoes. You go crocs.

I have 2 pairs of the high heels. They are great. For those of us who like the look of heels but have feet that can't take the pain associated with standard heels. These are a great solution. To those who hate on the crocs, don't buy them they don't need your support they have millions of us who love them.

Sorry Kyle Hepp--but I love these. They certainly look more comfortable than my Manolo Blahniks. I've paid a lot for designer shoes that I wear to work. What am I paying for? A shoe that is uncomfortable, falls apart easily, and that gets ruined if I step in snow or rain or on gravel. These are great for jeans, casual wear etc. Go Crocs.

OKAY.....reality check here:

If you MUST judge anyone, how about looking at their actions instead of what they wear on their feet.

And remember:
There's so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it doesn't behoove any of us,
To talk about the rest of us!

AMEN?

Crocs have been making "heels" for a while (They are more like slides) They are colorful and very comfortable. I work at a college and a lot of the teachers wear them since they are on their feet all day.

Crocs rock! Don't knock them until you've tried them.

I wear crocks anywhere, my husband who is an Attorney, wears his black crocks to court, the judge wears crocks. What do you critics have against being comfortable? I don't sweat like an anteater in summer, my shoes let air in, yours don't, your feet swell and stink all day long.

So lay off the crocs, they do no harm to our feet and since beauty is in the eye of th beholder, I think they are just beautiful.

WOW!! Kyle Hepp, I am so glad that you have come along and wrote a blog about how wrong it is for us to wear our crocs. i personally own a pair of crocs and love them. **GASP** So if crocs wants to make high heels then let them. Dont try to make anyone feel like crap because of what they wear. That is the problem with fashion. You judge just by what they wear, when maybe you have caught someone on an off day or maybe they dont have a lot of money to be a "high end fashionista" as you put it. But maybe that person having an off day or not a whole lot of money is a great person, but because you judged them or told them something is just wrong, you have missed out on a person who would have changed your life. Shame on you, I hope little girls are not reading your blog because you and the lemmings like you are the reason why little girls dress too provacative, and have such low self esteem.

now i wont lie, im a nursing student and crocs are very comfortable, i HAD 2 pairs when they first came out but uugghhhh! who thought this crap up?!?! croc heels? i think i just threw up a little bit in my mouth

This article is pathetic. How can someone be so shallow to say that you shouldnt wear crocs other than when noone would EVER EVER see you. Waste of a read. Kyle Hepp you should be ashamed of yourself.

Some of us have bad feet !!! We need shoes that are comfortable.Thank you Crocks !!! If they are comfortable, I .. WILL ... wear them.

Come shop at the Mall of New Hampshire Crocs kiosk next to Cinnabon.
Awesome products!!

I think you people are sooo shallow. Some people love Crocs because they feel great on their feet and they're comfortable. To diss people for that is shallow and unfeeling! I happen to love Crocs, and I know people with a lot of class who wear them with pride! I love Crocs!

Crocs are great, for my 3 year old..........
