Help I am Surrounded By Foam Shoes

August 13, 2006 - Sunday

I haven't been back to Cali in a few months & was wondering if this trash was popular on your (saner) end of the country.

I cannot get over how disgustingly hideous this trash is & why on earth a person would want to put these on their feet. Do they serve an orthopedic function? There are literally entire families who go on outings sporting these flimsy shoes. Men, women & children. They come in a trillion different colors, but honestly is it really that necessary to match from head to toe, are we still trapped in the 80's Ohio? I think we must be. Today @ Costco (while on a short shopping trip mind you) I began to count the trend setting Midwesterners wearing these God awful Crocs on their feet. Can I just say I lost count, I literally could not keep track of how many poor souls fell into this could not be more wrong fad. While I mean to poke fun in all seriousness looking at these "shoes" if you can call them that makes me angry. I cannot help it, just the sight of them boils my blood. If parents want to throw good taste out the window it is their prerogative, but for Pete's sake don't force your children to jump on that sinking ship with you. Come on now, am I wrong about this?
