I mean honestly I have to say that you love being an asshole. Ya know I know that they are ugly, but here is the thing. I have a prosthetic on my left foot and have never been able to find a pair of tennis shoes etc that I could be comfortable in. Thank god I ran across crocs brand and have been wearing them for the past 4 years. My back doesn't hurt as bad, as well as my feet. I have fibromyalgia, chronic myofacial pain. Which pretty much means I hurt all the time. Crocs however ugly they are, are the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own. You are terrible for writing this and I guarantee once we put a pair on your damn feet and you wore them for a friggin week you wouldn't be able live without them. More or less if you think that we need to wear something else that makes us comfortable, easy to wash off etc, then why don't you take your genius mind and come out with a product that we will all buy? Something that eases our foot pain, and when we are in such bad pain with our bodies that we can simply slide into. Odds are I bet you can't, or that you yourself don't have any foot, back, body problems. Well until you do you need to keep your thoughts to yourself. Again, I really hope that crocs don't go out of business. I don't know what I am going to do because I honestly have not found any other shoe that gives me the comfort the way that they do.

I do not care how they look as long as I am able to walk in shoes without being in severe pain. Maybe you should ask yourself what you would do to be pain free. I feel sorry for all of you that put someone down for the shoes they wear. These are the only shoes I can wear as I have severe nerve damage in my feet due to diabetes.

If I step in dog poop, I simply rinse them off and I do that often because I operate a petsitting company. If you get them dirty, I simply wash them off. If they are wet, they dry within minutes or simply wipe them off and you are good to go. You can't do that with ordinary shoes! I walk 8 hours a day and I have never had such comfortable footwear. Silly looking? Maybe, but they are functional and practical! Long Live Crocs! If I had enough money, I would buy the company! I hope Crocs aren’t dead because I adore them.

Sandals don’t work in the back country sense they don’t provide any protection for your toes. Yes they might be ugly but they have a very practical use, an extremely light weight design makes and some protection. A backpacker’s dream if they are a minimalist. SO PACK THE HELL OFF!

I reserve the right to judge people at my discrection, mostly because I find it hilarious and helpful in weeding out those I have nothing in common with. I have no opposition whatsoever to anyone who wants to wear the ugliest shoe on the planet- knock yourself out! In exchange, I will make note of the fact that any man in Crocs instantly loses his masculinity and becomes indistinguishable from an infant. Are ya' gonna' make a move on a sexy lady with yer' big, rubber feet glaring at her? My mother loves them, and she looks hideous in them. My favorite: Couples in Crocs! It says to me, "Hey, we're together now and have stepped off the fashion train forever! No one wants us and we don't care!" Second favorite: Women in cute skirts with Flintstone feet thanks to Crocs- instant cankles! I'm happy they help people feel better- it means I can endlessly amuse myself at their expense.

My husband recently had major back surgery , fusion, laminectomy, disectomy and 2 rods and titanium screws . Recovery has been slow and painful. Add to that problems with edema in legs and neuropathy in feet, his only relief is wearing your "Winter Crocs" closed toe/open back. Has not been able to wear any other shoe or tennis shoes or slippers. "Winter Crocs are the ONLY shoe he can comfortably walk in since his surgery. They have been unbelievably helpful. We were also going to purchase your dress crocs on line. I am sorry the economy has forced this decision for your company and your employees. As for myself, I have issues with my arches and wear the summer open toe and back year round inside my home and summer for gardening. Only slipon shoe I wear that helps with back fatigue and sensitive feet. Well as you can see I can't say enough good things about Crocs could go on & on. In our family if our feet aren't happy we are not happy . Please give your customers enough time to stock up with some timeline of last day to buy if it defintely comes to that .

These are the most comfortable high heels I have ever owned. I wear them everywhere - including gardening. And I think they are just as cute as anything available in a casual sandal. PLUS I can think of a bunch of ways to dress them up. I am so hoping that they don't go out of business. I just bought two pairs in black because I've noticed that they aren't restocking them.
