Anyone wear Crocs?

I wear flip flops a lot, but my wife thinks that Crocs look ridiculous on me, and most adults for that matter! I guess I will be sticking with my Reef flip flops!

Crocks look like plastic Birkenstocks............... They didn't look good in the 60's, they still don't look good....

Dorks? Not even if you paid me.

Teva sandals for off-roading and flip flops for lounging.

Someone had to ask, it was inevitable With all due respect, I find them to be the most unflattering and ridiculous pieces of footwear that ever 'ungraced' peoples feet. On small children they look cute, if you work a lot in your garden they are handy but for the rest: I don't want to be buried in them I hope I wasn't too subtle in my answer

They must really be marketing these.
To think that some would actually consider wearing crocs, is a croc

I don't wear crocs but I tried them on before because everyone was wearing them especially in hospitals, where my buddy works at. They love those things!

They are very light but I wouldn't wear them.

I wear them sometimes in the OR. Never around the house, they are ugly.

The last time I went home my 70 year old dad was wearing them.

Just picked up a pair of Reef flip flops last week at the Outer Banks and love them. Usually I wear Doc Martin sandals.

I'm addicted to the Cole Haan shoes with the NIKE AIR sole. You can find them at DSW for around $100. I have two pairs.

Flippy floppies for me (though I do bust out the Birks now and then).

My wife recently forced me to try on some Vibram Five Fingers and, as much as I'm bothered by their looks, I've got to admit that I love wearing 'em. It's like being able to walk barefoot anywhere (so long as you can stand the funny looks you get from people). The wifey wears them when instructing aerobic kickboxing.

Not my foot below (taken from Photobucket) - in case you're wondering what I'm talking about...
