Today’s rant is about Crocs. TL;DR: A friend from out of town came to visit. We went shoe shopping and at a sports store there they were again. What ARE these things? They’re called Crocs.
My story about crocs
Sam said I complain too much.
Honestly Robyn, who complains about daylight saving time?
He didn’t embarrass me by leaving a cranky public comment, so I thought I’d get it out in the open. If he feels that way, it’s more than likely there are others.
So next on the agenda: these shoes.
What are they? I’ve been noticing more and more people wearing them. The first time I encountered “them” I had to look twice. What the crap are those…but I let it go. I mean, the woman wearing them was middle-aged and I figured she was probably gardening before she came to class or something. I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
But then one blissful Wednesday, I noticed my cute Wednesday friend Rebound wearing a similar pair. Once again, I looked twice. He wasn’t gardening before he came to class. He’s a carpenter. You can’t wear those kind of shoes to work.
More and more I’ve been seeing them.

Update: Crocs. They’re called Crocs.
Today was the final straw. I couldn’t hold myself back. Here I am, driving home, minding my own busness when this bright red *thing* catches my eye. Ew! What is THAT?
Yes, yes it was. “That” shoe. Bright red. BRIGHT red. Distracting me from my driving duties.
I drove a block down the road. I could still see the shoes. And I’m not kidding. Nor exaggerating.
Hurt my eyes.
So tonight, as I wait for class to start I figure I should write down just how much these “shoes” bug me. But I need a visual aid so you know what I mean.
But what do I Google?
The winner is: garden shoes
I rest my case.

those shoes bug me too.
man my mom spends all weekend in her garden and you’d never catch her dead in those! I think they’re for people with smelly feet.
they’re called crocs…although there is fake ones out there…but hott dang robyn, they are amazing for your back…and my ankles! i have a pair in tan and i wear them to work everyday…because i stand all day…AMAZING!!! you don’t really understand until you put them on, then you get it and can’t imagine living without them. just try it…soooo good! i think there is a website out there telling you all the benefits of them…my little brother sells them at his work…just give them a chance arbyn!
I hate those shoes…comfy they probably are…but they look like something the Dutch would wear if they lived underwater (and they almost do)
umm and Robyn why do you have a paperclip?
I talked to a girl about these “shoes” today and she says every member of her family has a pair of crocs. I did an informal interview and found out her sister works at a store that sells crocs. So…some more research will be done on these shoes. At this point, I checked out the web site and it told me (seriously) I should buy crocs because: 1) there’s knee pads too (you cannot tell me they’re not gardening shoes) and 2) everyone loves them.
WTF?
i’m telling ya…their great! and hey…what’s wrong with garden shoes anyways?!
p.s. i love the dutch!
i have a pair, they are also good as weapons. jealous? j/k j/k
Hey LAWPLANET, guess who got tickets for tomorrow night’s Canucks/Flamers game?
Guess it’s good luck to complain in public.
Jealous!?!
negative. you can watch the flames in the playoffs while your nucks golf. ps flames won
Ya… these were banned at multiple hospitals because they conduct electricity and can interfere with life saving equipment… That is what some nurses told me when they were looking for nursing shoes (I sold shoes for 7 years)! I have a whole rant about the negatives of these shoes…I’m not even going to go there!
Oh wow! That’s serious!!!
