Half-Croc'd

James Lileks has the 411 on Crocs and I agree.
I’ve seen large sloppy men wearing Crocs, and they needed only twin tufts of orange hair and a red ball for a nose to complete the image. Crocs for adults say “I can’t even manage Velcro, and believe the world wants to look at your callused heels.

Thirty bucks for a couple of pieces of rubber is far too much, especially for something that looks like a post modern interpretation of Dutch clogs, or Alien-ized Dr. Scholl's.

Yes, Crocs look bad, but they can also offer better arche support then other shoes and allow those who are mobility challeneged a better chance to walk. I don't recommend them for everyday wear or even long wear, but for slippers around the house, they could be just what the doc ordered.
