Fashion Criminals - Crocs Wearers

Oh Dear.

I may not be the world's leading fashion expert but I pride myself on knowing when something looks just completely wrong.....

I thought the Croc was a fashion slip up from a former Asian TV correspondent. But.....

With typhoon season in Asia at present I have just noticed a fashion trend emerging from the puddles in Central. People of all races are wearing brightly coloured plastic shoes reminiscent of little gumboots. They are flying off the shelves.

Never since the Ugg boot have I seen a more ridiculous craze than the Croc. They must be the fugliest example of footwear known to man. They simply look ridiculous.

Yes, it is raining. And when it rains in New Zealand local people wear gumboots because they are practical for the situation. There is mud, puddles and sludgy cow shit. We are however living in a very large city in Hong Kong. There are footpaths, concrete and drainage. If people want to protect themselves from the elements then they should take up gumboots, not crocs. We don't wear gumboots because they would look stupid. Why then do people think crocs are any better?

There is no excuse for the Croc. They have holes in them anyway. Remember the good old days when we used to laugh at Dutch people for wearing clogs.......crocs are NO different. Only they are pricier.

Say no to crocs.
