I have some of these///and even wear them to teach nowadays it is warmer AND my feet hurt...the Korean womenfolk give me the "YOU MUST BE CRAZY" look.
Any ideas?

Because they look like Korean bathroom fashion.

I love them and wear them often when I'm not working. They're very comfy!

Because they look like the birth child of a Birkenstock and a clown shoe.

Those things are the ugliest shoes ever made!!! Also, those things were originally made for gardening and boating...not to wear as street shoes. And yes, they do look like bathroom slippers. Only uglier. I was surprised to see that those things actually made their way over here. I even saw a Crocs store in Hong Kong last summer.

Thanks for your honest replies...i am 52 and walk /run like a 30 yr. old (NON lesbian 30 yr.old thank you)....I just wonder how many of these 20something Korean gals will be able to run at my age when they wear those 2 inch heels everywhere...no animosity........
..send the fashion police!!!!

the fashion police can get bent. crocs are comfortable and lightweight. thats what i want out of a shoe

i'll say it again.

only lesbians wear crocs.

if you're a man, priest, nun, child or heterosexual woman and you're wearing crocs, you're still a big fist-fucking warlesbian.

not that there's anything wrong with lesbianism - lesbians are great - but like anything it has a stigma attached to it. and you've got lesbianism on your feet.

just thought i'd let you know.

Ubersheisse, gotta say, the lesbians that I know wouldn't be caught dead in crocs- From what I can tell, they're a soccer mom thing, which means that the OP is pretty much trendy in her demographic.

If the OP likes them and is comfortable in them, good on her. I sort of wonder if they're appropriate in a professional teaching environment but I've lost the right to comment, having taught wearing fuzzy dog slippers one winter, just to keep my feet warm Razz

I generally subscribe to the idea that "form follows function", but in the case of Crocs I make an exception. They're like the adjumma's welding-shield-sun-visors for the feet.

I know a lot of straight nurses who wear Crocs cause they're comfortable and puke cleans up easily from them.
