If there's anything about shoes that divides men and women (well, at least divides my wife and I), it's that I will only buy comfortable shoes. It makes no sense to cram my feet into something itchy, sweaty, rubby, etc., because if my feet aren't happy, none of me is happy. Ladies, you can talk all you want about how "The Man" and "Society" calls for you to have a certain type of footwear. It's all bunk. You can choose what to wear, at least in your normal daily life.
Enter the Crocs. This may sound like an endorsement (believe me, they ain't paying me anything), but it's something men and women can agree on. First, they are butt ugly, no matter the style or color. Second, they are extremely comfortable. Kind of like a minivan ... you don't know the benefits until you slip inside.
Granted, usually I don't buy ugly shoes, either. With men's footwear beauty and comfy are not mutually exclusive. But I proudly shod my dogs with these ugs whenever I get the chance. I would wear them to work if I could. Or in the shower.
And I still don't like minivans.

Those shoes are fugly but they probably make good beach or boating shoes.
Mmmm, Crocs!! I lurrrrve them . . . have two pair (bubblegum pink and bright safety orange), and I keep trying to talk Hub into getting some (maybe a nice manly navy or black?), but he flatly refuses. Sad, that he will never know the comfort that is the Croc.
They make flipflop style ones, too -- I neeeed some!
I have a pair of Nothins', too! Tan ugly SOBs, but they are sooo wonderful.
wot r crocs an wot do minivans have to do wid it
i go stickly for style. my feet may hurt but if i don't feel cute, i'm not happy!
i might rock some crocks in the garden, though.
