Crocs

I remember they were quite popular at my primary school around 2006. I had two pairs

I didn't own a pair either; they are too "out there" for me. I can see them making a bit of a comeback in the Late 2020s/Early 2030s, as people will more than likely start to reminisce about them in the future.

Never wore them thankfully. I actually don't even remember them being all that popular.

I think they looked nice on some of the girls at school though, the cutesy type that would wear headbands or ribbons on their head. I've never seen it look good on a man though.

I have a pair of light blue ones which I wear. I find them comfortable.

For the record, I couldn't give the proverbial about what is and isn't fashionable. I wear what I like and so should everyone else.

This made me chuckle. They DEFINITELY should not be worn in public.

I rocked the Crocs pretty hard back in 06/07, along with every man woman and child. I initially got them as boat shoes so I wasn’t too bothered by the holes, though I know many found them ugly right off the bat. I liked the colors and was crazy for jibbitz. (I was so cool at 12 I know.)



I remember a page being very popular on Facebook, probably in 2009/10, called “I don’t care how comfortable Crocs are, you look like a dumbass.” While they were fading from the mega popularity they had a few years prior, it was around this time that they were starting to get ridiculed. Meanwhile other styles of shoes made from Croc material were being created. I had these ballet flats in 09, until I succumbed to peer pressure and stopped wearing them lol.




Interestingly Balenciaga has been trying to bring them back as high fashion (and obviously overcharge for them), but I don’t think it’s really catching on. Not enough time has passed for Crocs to be trendy and not just garden shoes again.

If I want to wear something in public, I will wear it and to hell with what anyone else thinks!
