Crocs/Holey's Revisited

Several months ago, I made some comments on my least favourite shoe: Crocs

But I am here today to recant my position for a limited audience. Although I still think that all people that wear their Crocs for comfort look like they "mugged a dutch clown" (megan, twitter 2008) and they give the wearer the worst tan lines ever. I will admit that Crocs could be adequate footwear for paddling sports such as kayaking and canoeing. I also think they make a nice lightweight alternative for hikers in camp (as they let your feet breath after the long day of walking, yet keep the sand and dirt off your feet). Other than that I stand by my position that they are a terrible form of footwear. It appalls me that the makers of this product are producing "new" styles to reach a different market. Most people don't want a "Mary Jane" dress shoe in fluorescent neon orange rubber. I can just see the people from "what not to wear" tossing those hideous things in a garbage can in years to come.
Just wait......Next thing we know they will be producing Croc high heals......OH NOS.......
