To Croc Or Not To Croc?
That seems to be the question these days?

Drama Queen has had knock-off Crocs for two years now. Cute little pink ones. She was a trend-setter in our area. One of the first to have them and she got so many compliments. Every where we went someone was commenting on how cute her shoes were.
Since we are camping alot this year, and they are virtually indestructable, I decided to bite the bullet and get Wild Man and myself a pair as well. I bought DQ another pink pair, WM a camo pair, and myself a purple pair. Wouldn't you know it...WM HATES them! So back they went and Mommy used the money to buy her a nice new pair of tennis shoes.
Anyway.
I know they are hideous to look at, but OMG! are they comfortable. I wish I could wear them to work. But I have to confess that I have not one pair, but two. At a recent camping trip I forgot my purple ones (and they rub the side of my feet for some reason) so while at Dollar General I bought a cheap pair of black ones for $6. I wear them all the time.
Oh. The. Shame. But I don't care dang it! This is coming from a redneck who will wear a wife beater and shorts (with her crocs) to the grocery store if the needs arise.
So how about you?
You got crocs? No?...Why not?

Personally, I think crocs are best left for children under 14, lol... but that's my opinion. If you like them, you keep wearing them!
I am not a fan! They are just about the ugliest shoes I have ever seen. Even the new styles they keep trying to come out with... It's just that that material can never be pretty to wear. Crocs started as gardening shoes! Lord knows why it's stylish to wear gardening shoes out, but you would never wear your bedroom slippers or your old work boots out! haha. But if you like them, I certainly won't judge you for it. You just won't catch me in them. Love the blog. It was a complete stumble upon!
I was skeptical of Crocs until I needed something to wear around the yard while watering plants and so forth. I picked up a pair of $5 Croc rip-offs and absolutely fell in love with them.
If wearing Crocs is wrong, I don't want to be right. ;)
I've not succombed yet. Maybe soon though. I could use some gardening shoes and Eeyore could use them too!
