Karen & co. Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I caught sight of an article in the Express yesterday too I guess they have run out of 'news' so it was have a go at Crocs day karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Would have nice if they'd had a pro-croc opinion there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Oh no! my Mother will be so pleased when she reads that in the Mail - she hates Crocs I love the description of Crocs as "ill-fitting, flatfooted Jiffy Bags" I've never thought of my Crocs as fashionable - I wear them because I can walk in them!..... and managed to give up walking with a stick most of the time. And then there's this stupid comment.... "They're not environmentally friendly as far as I can see. They're made from a propietary closed-cell resin, a by-product of oil, and as they're now making three million pairs a month, that's a heck of a lot of the black stuff to be pumped out of the ground" Surely it is better to use by-products? how and why does she think by-products arise?

Cinnamon Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Oh no, not again The Mail keep on dissing Crocs - this has to be the third time this summer. I might have to change my papaer if it carries on................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am not a fan of crocs either but I don't think they are a threat to Global security! Is she the sensible shoe journalist from Clarks' I am presuming it is a woman! There are wars happening and this prat want's to write about the shortcomings of rubber shoes and their owners! Kev. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Let's be honest, I love my crocs but they are just a shoe. Why be so hateful? I'm sure she owns shoes which are unfashionable, inpractical or just plain ugly but I bet she still loves them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy&cake Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 im extremely passionate about shoes. And i must say i hate crocs when worn with certain things, ie: skirts and dresses. With jeans and linen trousers they dont look so bad. Id never wear crocs unless i was pregnant or ill. [bad back etc] But thats just me !

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well, I'm not pregnant - but they sure do help my bad back I am travelling around the country providing training and they are the only shoes that I can wear all day without my feet / back aching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 yeh i see your point! If i were at my old job running around after people all day i think id end up wearing some, but id customise them! i think id like a pair in metalic silver . i bet your feet would get filthy though in NYC! Or even more filthy, as even with shoes on my feet were dirty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I love my crocs,a nd we saw so many pairs while we were in Norfolk the last few days - all the boating and beach people had them too. Poor Kev, it must've been horrific for you at Blenheim surrounded by us all in our crocs! Cathy, get your pair quickly!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 My daughter who totters around in high heels at work has relieved me of my black Mary Janes. She adores them...she says it is like walking on pillows they are so comfy...so I have made the ultimate sacrifice and told her she can keep them. I'll get myself another pair!

Dancing Gal Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well I have no feelings about these croc shoe thingies one way or another until this article was posted.
