Crocs are the new fanny packs.
Ok I admit it, I have a pair of Crocs. And I "get it" because they are damn comfortable.
(By the way, that's NOT me!!!)
But HOLY CRAP they are ridiculous looking. I say this because we spent the past weekend at the lake so I got to see a lot of people wearing them. I typically only wear mine in the yard because they're easy-on-easy-off, so I don't really get a chance to see what they look like as part of an ensemble (I never even thought to make them part of an ensemble).
Having now seen them from a spectator's point of view, I can tell you quite assuredly that they are one of the worst fashion elements ever. Actually I don't even think they are intended to be part of any kind of statement... unless the look you are going for is "retar-duck". They may even be the gateway drug to wearing black socks with shorts and it's just a quick parlay to a fanny pack. Ugh. In that moment I was ashamed that even I owned a pair and swore to never wear them in public.
Clearly this is one of those function vs. form arguments but I'm really not sure the functionality is winning.
