damn i've always hated those things, when they came out and people were wearing them all could think about was those old plastic jelly things from the 80's that girls wore.
one of my sisters and all her trendy east end friends and even their BF's or fiances wore/wear thse things.

another fad that couldn't end soon enough, well for me at least.

Yeah I agree. Seeing straight males wear them was the last straw. But damn for a time it seemed like every young fat chic had these on.

damn , had never heard of the dude or that site. i wonder if he made up that picture from amazon about the recommendations for things to purchase that other croc purchasers had bought. That group of things in that pic made me laugh. sad thing is it was probably a real screen grab.
the rest of that page was a good read also.
Dude kinda ranting like Denis Leary in his book "Why we Suck".

of course probably most of us in the world have the same rants and pet-peeves we just don't have a board audience to express them to.

Best shoes to wear in the kitchen, IMO.

You think so? I think a good pair of docksiders are. Never worked grill but I have done some waiting and closing. Felt like I always had good traction. (except for near the dish washer lol)

I don't know what it is about them, nothing feels better for me in the kitchen than my black crocs. To boot I can slip them on and off easily for when I'm cooking in clients homes, they are anti-slip, anti-odour and dirt cheap. Best $15 pair of shoes I've bought that's for sure.

That being said, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them out to a bar or really any social setting whatsoever, lol.

Buying CROX for $75.
