They are ridiculously ugly, however I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find long-lasting, comfortable and pleasant looking shoes. I've had to buy shoes that only match one or two of those three standards due to certain events.

As a Christmas present a couple years back, I was given a pair are Crocs. They are comfortable, do not seem to retain odor, and have lasted since I got them with nothing more than a thinned out (but very resistant) heal. Though I'd still never wear them outside of lounge clothes.

Either way, I would purchase another pair if it came down to it because at least I know for sure they are long lasting and comfortable.

Great shoes for kids. They can put them on themselves and love the colors.

They don't look all that bad, they don't look all that comfortable either.

I don't own any, and I used to be opposed based on their ugliness, until I heard they were going out of business because...the product lasts too damn long. People don't go back for more pairs, because they last and last and last.

That being the case, I might invest in some.

I own 1 pair of loafer style .They look like an ordinary shoe.They aren't that comfortable . They caused me a few blisters .The bottom line on Crocs is they are OVER PRICED .Ugly or not ugly,comfy or uncomfy ,like them or hate them - they are a'' plastic '' shoe that is very over priced .But like all over priced products the price goes up with the demand.If everyone stopped buying them for 3 months .They would be selling for $1.98 , plus free shipping . I bought mine on sale for $15. Crocs are a croc if you pay over $15 for a plastic shoe no matter what.

Not just ugly, but unsanitary. They make your feet sweat which causes them to smell--and that's just gross. Keep your smelly croc'd feet outta my air space!

They're ugly, repulsive and an insult to my intelligence. Although, pride might have something to do with my disgust with Crocs, it probably has more to do with the bright coloring and piss-poor design element that makes me want to burn them.

in the words of Maddox:

"When I see people wearing Crocs, I know immediately that we have nothing in common, and that we could never be friends or have any meaningful kind of relationship. They come in every color imaginable yet look bad with every other article of clothing ever created. The only thing that goes with Crocs is social ostracism.

To their credit though, Crocs serve as an excellent idiot barometer; you can tell a lot about people wearing them. For example, Amazon.com suggest products that other customers have purchased based on the item you're shopping for.

When it comes to shoes, there are usually three deciding factors: quality, price, and style. Some shoes are cheap and stylish, but poor quality, while others are stylish and durable, but expensive. Crocs usually go for $30-$60, which doesn't sound like much for a shoe, until you consider that what you're really paying for are melted pellets squirted into a cast-iron mold in some province in China. Crocs have the rare combination of being expensive, poor quality, and ugly. It's quite a feat for one shoe to suck this bad.

People who wear Crocs go on and on about how comfortable they are, and how it's supposedly odor resistant because it's made out of some kind of anti-bacterial foam. Great point, dipshits! You know what else it's resistant to? You getting laid. Then as if the shoes weren't disgusting enough, Crocs introduced a product called "Crocs butter" that's supposed to restore that illustrious injection-molded sheen to those gaping holes they call shoes.

You know that feeling you get when you're full and slightly nauseous and you burp and you can taste the partly digested food in the back of your throat? There isn't a word in the english language to succinctly describe it, but I will hereby refer to it as croc-butter. "

It is one thing if you wear them to your job where you are on your feet all day, for example RNs or cooks, plus you need a shoe that can be washed off. But to wear these shoes around in public is crazy! There are a lot of comfortable shoes out there that don't look like you gave up on caring what you look like!

I personally would never wear them as they look ridiculous. If anyone else wants to wear them, well, I have no problem with that at all.

Whenever I see someone over 10 years old wearing Crocs, I start to wonder about them... Anybody that can go to the store, buy theses, and wear them in public is a little different. If you wear the Crocs in the privacy of your own home I would classify them as slippers, which are the only other footwear that is completely personal and disgusting to everyone else. But, if you're the only one that sees them, who cares what they look like? A machine gun target or giant bunnies?

In all other cases my comfort is more important, but when it comes to these things I draw my line. GARDEN SHOES period.

i like some designs. although i agree they look awful on people sometimes. they look good on kids. and they're quite vibrant. i'd be very uncomfortable if i'd look weird in public. and while i'm being proud of my proper shoes, i'd be much more comfortable :P

I'm sure there are more comfortable shoes out there that are more comfortable. Crocs are for the pool and at home only. People who wear them out look ridiculous. I want to slap them. Haha.

Crocs are a disgrace to the fashion realm of man kind!! If it were up to me I'd go all anti croc dictator and eliminate all crocs for eternity! just kidding I don't have that much spare time on my hands. But seriously they're hideous. I think someone just woke up one day and was like, HEY! I'm going to make the world's ugliest shoes made out of the weirdest effing material. But not all of that is going to matter due to the comfort! and all of my dignity will be flushed down a giant toilet! YES! no. Crocs are wrong eff you croc maker now I have mouth vomit every time I see your god forsaken creation on the feet of everyone. That is all.
