Since You’ve Been Gone

Yes, I’ve been gone for awhile. And what was important enough to bring me back? Crocs.

I’m rethinking my decision on Crocs. Like many trendy things, I scoffed at Crocs when they first became popular. According to Wikipedia, they’ve been around since 2002. My main issues with them were their style, I’m not a clog kind of girl (the only exception for wearing clogs should be, well, clogging) and I wasnt interested in wearing shoes made of plastic.
Years and years have gone by, and I’ve remained uninterested in Crocs. Until recently, when I started noticing that they were getting cuter. First came the Mary Jane style (which is still a little too clunky for my taste) and now they have some that dont even look like they are made of plastic.
Over the weekend, a friend of mine came over and slipped her new Crocs off. Out of curiosity, I asked if I could try them on. Having never had my feet in a pair, I felt it was wrong to hold that whole “plastic” thing against them. Even a size too big, they were super comfy. Squishy, but supportive. And, according to her, they claim to be odor resistant and she has yet to sweat in them, even in the past weeks heat. Not sweating in plasticy shoes? Impressive.
And so, maybe I’m okay with Crocs. I might even buy a pair. After spending some time on their website, I was most impressed with the pricing. $30 is the average price. That’s reasonable. (Unreasonable would be that a pair for AJ would cost the same!).
Here are some that have caught my eye… I’m most impressed by the sueded shoe (though it is the most expensive) and pleased that purple is a color option for many of these (though its a bright grape and probably wont match many of my purples). What do you think? Should I take the plunge and buy a pair?
