I hope Maddie has a gin bromide and fainting couch ready when he see this post!

Boud said...

I love the diversity panels. Except I have to admit I think crocs are (looks around nervously) um, silly looking.. But I've been tempted. Just for the garden..

Anonymous said...

Just NO. I recoiled in horror when I saw my son wearing Crocs for the first time.

Granny Annie said...

They are even less when worked in and are covered with dirt.

"A pair of shoes that fits." Debra, what fantasy world are you living in?
--Jim
p.s. Crocs for me are the most uncomfortable of all--pure torture. I thought they might be good for creek hiking.

Bob said...

Someone gets the smelling salts for Maddie .....

Travel said...

I will admit it, I own a pair, I haven't worn them in a long time.

Lady M said...

I still don't own a pair. Plastic shoes are not my kind of thing - I like Birkenstocks.

sirkkis said...

I'm just wondering that I need equity to buy a pair of shoes 😏 for my walks... thanks for reminding 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

The Happy Whisk said...

The cat pope is an lol here, for sure!

Pixie said...

Too funny!

Frank said...

I would love to live in Hawaii and wear flip flops every day.

Tom said...

...I tried Crocs, for me they were a crock!

Kathy G said...

Crocs don't fit my finicky feet, and I accept that.

Marcia LaRue said...

I wear navy blue Crocs everyday! A pair of Walmart knock-off crocs for when my feet are swollen. Then, 3 other pairs in my bedroom closet! I started wearing them after my first knee replacement surgery and now, I can't wear "regular" shoes! <--- yup! Gave all of those away!
Most comfortable shoes ever!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Marcia LaRue -- Yes, those who love them, love them a lot! Glad they're comfy for you!

whkattk said...

OMG - You were just trying to make Maddie's day, weren't you? LOLOLOL.

whkattk said...

I found him on the fainting couch ---- out cold, but still breathing!

Leanna said...

Personally they are comfy shoes. I would have loved to have worn a pair like the nurses did at the hospital I worked in. It's just that when you work with chemicals and blood and other human waste products in the lab, it was not a good idea to wear shoes with holes in them. They are comfy though.

Val Ewing said...

Croc cowboy boots, for realz? LOL!

Cleora Borealis said...

😃 Happy to report I am still in Croc denial...thank goddess!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Oh nooooo!
Mads is gonna have a fit. LMAOOOO
But the kitty Pope??? Worth everything.


XOXO

I agree that Crocs are ugly but they are handy for the garden, toting the bins to the curb, camping... Honestly, why the hate people? Might as well hate Louboutins with their vivid red soles, 'I stomped through blood to get these shoes!'

Rade said...

I just have a problem with... putting plastic shoes on my feet. Too many years being hobbled while fighting plantar facsiitis. Either barefoot or something with rally good structure. Not... plastic.. shoes.

Anonymous said...

Oh how many ways can we divide ourselves!? But note that many working people like medical workers and kitchen staff wear Crocks -- They are cheap and are safer on hard tile floors.

Mistress Maddie said...

Girl, if somebody's going to wear those Crocs around me, you better believe they're going to be the butt of my jokes and judgment!!!!! Crocs!!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWWHHHHAAAAATTTT!!!!! Debs..... bring me a gin, with bromide!

Laura said...

These are funny. I love the first one! ~*~

The Blog Fodder said...

Cat as Pope made my day. I dont know if I've ever seen a pair of crocs. I do wear socks and sandles as it is more comfortable and how people do it in Ukraine.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mistress Maddie -- A double, coming up right away!

Bill said...

The cat pope, had a laugh seeing that. :)

Bruce.desertrat said...

I wear mine all the time. There’s a pair by the kitchen door so I can put them on on the way out of the house into the yard, because our southern AZ yard is not friendly to bare feet.

Soma @ InkTorrents.com said...

Nice lead-in photo. The cat pope made my day!

Escalators eat crocs and toes.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mike -- Yikes! I had not heard of this danger of Crocs and other soft-soled shoes being sucked into escalators! Don't wear them on escalators, people! Thanks for that link.

Kirk said...

I've never worn a crock. They don't look particularly comfortable.

baili said...

I enjoyed the interesting post but I had no check for the crocs 😂

Liz Hinds said...

As a child we had the plastic version of crocs. I hated them then and hate them now!

Jeanie said...

These are great! I especially love the DEI and Cinderella ones!

ArcticFox said...

i refer to the straps at the back of my crocs as "sport mode" - rarely engage them but when i do, you know i mean business!!

Moving with Mitchell said...

The first thing I did was check for the comment from Maddie!
