It is an irrefutable fact that Crocs are both ugly and comfortable. For a long time, I was unwilling to look past the ugly to experience the comfort. Then I got pregnant. Then my feet swelled up to Flintstonian proportions. Then I became the owner of a pair of bright pink Crocs that had been on clearance. I figured I would wear them until my feet fit into normal shoes again, but, six months after I had my baby, I could still be seen regularly on weekends, running around town in a bright pink pair of Crocs. I was a convert, but that was no excuse for continuing to wear such an obnoxious pair of shoes.
In an overwhelming display of suburbanosity last weekend, I bought a pair of black beach Crocs

I would now like to take this opportunity to gloat, and remind you that I wanted to buy you a pair when you first got pregnant. But since we've been friends going on forever, I'll refrain. You're welcome.

this is similar to how it happened to me, when i fell victim to the comfort and ease of a croc shoe.

Heather: Your gloating is now unacceptable. You used up your gloating pass when I got the pink ones.

I am || this close to joining the cult of the crocs. Must resist.... Although they probably won't work with the pretty custom orthotics I'll be getting so maybe that'll help me resist.

I am a nurse so I bought a pair. I hate them. If anyone wants them I will send them to you. Let me know. They are size 8 and off white (I believe pearl is the exact name.

jo, i am a user of orthopedic shoes and inserts. i just put my inserts into the crocs (if you have that kind of inserts)and it works fine.
the new balance shoes that the doctor "prescribed" do not seem any better to me than others with a high arch. i'm flat footed.

I know this is a really old post, but I've been looking for cute comfortable boots, and came across the You by Crocs line. Has anyone tried them?
I'm considering these boots:
