I don't love crocks. They are downright ugly, and i think that people using them to do anything else then things like grocery shopping/throwing out the trash have bad manners. I mean, i saw a guy in the movies with crocks on. That's just wrong. Like wearing a Hawaii t-shirt and pants to a black tie event.
But people shouldn't direct the hate towards crocks, but to those owners who are themselves uncouth.
So, why do people hate crocks? Because it's a symbol of something that they detest?
Is there any medical reasons people should hate on crocks?

I find crocks offensive. I wish political correctness would save me.

I know crocs eat the occasional American tourist and Sweedish backpacker who go swimming where they are told not to... And they are the occasional water hazard on some Top End golf courses.
But they are tasty and the leather is nice... Plus they have been round since the dinosaurs.
Oh not that kind of croc...
Australians also find the use of the word fanny and roots, or rooting absolutely hilarious.
I like them. Very handy beach attire. As for wearing them else where... meh. I find most stiletto heels to be more absurd.
How dare someone not be as uncomfortable as i am!
They sure are hella comfy.
Ugly shoes are the trend. Crocs don't stand alone in this. (Was that a pun? I hope so. :)) If your athletic shoe looks like it's made of marshmallow and electrician's tape; you might want to rethink your taste in style.
Crocs just look like a breeding pit for fungus, to me.
Wearing crocs tells the world one thing: I don't give a f~%+.
In the same way that not bathing, or wearing only a bathrobe to go grocery shopping does.
I have no idea what we're talking about.
Huh. I've seen those before, I know people who use them for yardwork and gardening and stuff. Never seen anyone wearing them in public though. (Granted, I don't pay attention to people's feet all that much...)
My wife loves her crocs. Wears them everywhere. Personally, I will never own a pair. They're comfortable, I'll give them that. But I think they are ugly as sin and the price for them is outrageous for what they are. Each clog has a grand total of 4 pieces: the main shoe, the back that holds it on, and 2 plastic pieces that snap the back to the main shoe. And they charge 40 bucks or more for these bloody things! They're made of flippin' foam! FOAM!!!
...ok...ending rant now.

No, no. They are fine around the house as long as nobody sees you in them. It's the people that wear them out like into diners, cinemas and similar stuff that are the problem.
40 bucks? Yeesh. They are like 10-15 bucks in Serbia.

I love them. I got a couple pairs (none that look like the bright green mostrousity you posted). I really like my loafers. They are really comfortable and hold up to tons of abuse.
I love to give Crocs out as gifts, especially when I can take the giftee to a mall with escalators afterward.
Why some of the very people in this thread could use their own pair. MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Do you go out to eat in them? Or to see a movie?
All the time. They look better than most loafers/docksiders and you can hardly tell that they are Crocs based on looks.
Judging a whole line of product based on one ugly model isn't a good idea. There are a bunch of styles of Crocs and most aren't the ugly giant foam clog you are associating to the whole line.
Dunlop Volleys in the summer with no socks is all you need.

Now THAT is an ugly shoe....no wonder the Dropbears are so relentless in Australia....

We used to make them out of drop bear :-) now they are made offshore and are not as good.
Yes they were ugly but the grip was excellent, I used to wear them when I went sailing, my uncle a roof tiler swore by them. They could take a beating and then some, now they are just ironic street ware of Australian hipsters....
I like these a lot, but they're kinda spendy so I usually just go with the cheapest, thinnest flip-flops I can find. They're quite amazing though.
Gotta admit, I always thought people were talking about the boots made out of crocodile skin. Looking at crocks though, it's like people that wear socks with sandals. Frikkin' shoobies ;)
Eh. It's the Snuggie Cultists that make me nervous.
During the winter months the omnipotent Lord Wraithstike has us switch from normal robes to snuggies keeps our many eyes warmer.
ALL HAIL LORD WRAITHSTRIKE!!!!!

I presume Forever Lazy falls under this category. Never before has a commercial filled me with equal amounts "what" and "NO".
It's worse when they got to the ones that "look like" normal clothes... as if they're trying to encourage people going outside wearing them and trying to pass for being properly clothed to leave the house.

Oh hell no.
I'm all for bringing hoods back. But not like this.
Not like this.
And let's not even mention yoga pants without something over it. It's like going out in your underwear...
Don't get me started on bicycle shorts that everyone are wearing these days. Wearing that in public should be illegal. There should be a law. A law called something like "indecent exposure" or something.
Preferably it would carry the death penalty, but I suppose I could compromise on that.

I'd like to cast a vote in favour (very strongly in favour) of (other) people wandering about in yoga pants.
That is all.
I buy my bicycle shorts two sizes too small.

No. Just no. There is a finite percentage of people attractive and athletic enough to look god in yoga pants. I don't want to see obese people squeezed in two sizes smaller yoga pants with pockets of fat spilling everywhere and ripples running through their legs and rears as they walk. I just had breakfast.
I am overweight. Pretty much. I'm 5'6'' and weigh around 227 pounds. I need to loose at least 50 to look normal. I don't wear tight fitting clothes or t-shirts that let my belly show. Because it's disgusting and i don't want to ruin someone's day.

Fair enough. Maybe what we need is YOGA PANT COPS, which could either mean lissome, toned police officers in yoga pants, or specially trained operatives hunting down those individuals giving stretch fabrics a bad name and draping them in dust sheets, shower curtains, armoured mumus, etc. Or it could mean both. Sensible solutions for a happier society.
