Crocs are a joke. Everyone knows this fact, including Croc haters, Croc obsessives, and the employees over there at Crocs Headquarters. Let’s all be honest with ourselves here for a moment, though. The point of Crocs isn’t to look cool (obviously); they are clunky, foam-based, and objectively hideous, but gollygoshdarnit, they are comfortable. 

Originally designed to be the perfect gardening shoe, Crocs have earned their salt both indoors and outdoors. Crocs were never meant to be worn or seen outside of the privacy of their home, but now, the foam clogs have taken over the mainstream market. It seems that everyone, even the fashionistas, is taking a stab at the ugly footwear. Out of private gardens and into the streets, Crocs are everywhere. 

Maybe it makes me look like a Disney adult, an elderly care nurse, or a child on their way to elementary school art class, but after years of aversion, I finally got my first pair of Crocs… And they rock. So, as a recently converted Croc lover, I salute my fellow Croc-wearers for blazing a path of normality, swimming upstream in the fashion world so that I could enjoy a pair of foam shoes myself.
