I have discovered Crocs.
Oh, my...what wonderful shoes. I had no idea how great they are, nor could I imagine how much I would like them.
I can't really remember when I decided I wanted a pair, but recently, I got some. They support my feet, are comfortable, and not horribly expensive. I love my Birkenstocks, too, but my Berks cost a LOT more.
I am honestly very surprised that I got them, given my innate dislike of all things popular in nature. I resisted the urge to get them on that basis for some time before trying them. I did rebel against the standard pop thing in some way because I chose the international orange coloured ones (makes them possibly the ugliest shoes I've ever owned), but I still got 'em.
Nice shoes....
