I have just learned about the potential demise of the Crocs brand of “shoes.” Ok it is not dead yet, but it is apparently on it’s last legs.
While I normally don’t celebrate the failure of a company. In this case, I will make an exception.
These are the ugliest footwear ever devised. Many people tout them. “Oh, they are so comfortable.” Lots of things are comfortable, but you don’t have to wear them in public. “They are made of antimicrobial foam.” And, It is a good thing because they make your feet sweat.
I am surprised by the number of women who bought these abominations. In many cases these were women who are “Shoe People.”
These shoes only ever looked good on small children, not adults. I once worked with a woman who had a pair that matched every outfit she owned. They didn’t just coordinate, they matched. I’d bet she bought the cloths to go with the shoes.
Now, I do feel for the doctors and nurses that found them comfortable, but I have heard that the wooden shoes from Holland do the trick as well.
So, I say good bye, Crocs. I celebrate your passing with a New Orleans style jazz funeral.
Now, if we could just do something about Uggs.

There is a facebook group called "I don't care if they're comfortable your crocs make you look like an ass". I am a member.
