I'd rather walk on nails or wear those ugly Balenciaga sporty-chic knockoffs by Steve Madden... actually, maybe I should stick to nails.

it's actually not hard to believe "the parents were ugly". exactly who are they trying to fool here? i think they're a bit confused about their demographic.

I would wear MAYBE them if they were disguised better:
make the heels/sole black or brown
make the straps fabric or leather or something
get rid of the logo!!

I'd totally be willing to wear chinese foot bindings if they were cute enough, but these are uglier than normal crocs and probably are impossible to wear. Even if they were cute, wouldn't how stiff they are make it impossible to walk without your foot falling out?

That isn't a four-inch heel. I'm wearing four-inch Cole Haan mary janes right now, and they're twice as tall as that ... thing.

Wow. Ok, the website says they are 3 inch heels and they come in some hideous colour combinations - silver with a lavender footbed? Anyways, these look like some incredibly ugly platforms that I bought when I was 11. By the time I was 12 I knew better than to wear them.
Admittedly, I buy Crocs for my son. He loves them and they are easy to clean and all that jazz. But they shouldn't come in adult sizes.

first off this is the most horrible thing that has ever happen to vogue and second of all with all these young kids wearing them 24/7 we are going to have a generation that can not tie shoes and thats no good. i have never seen something clash more than crocs

A croc is a croc no matter what kind of fancy ad you pay for in Vogue or what kind of cheeky copy you try to write for it.
Do they not realize that those who read Vogue would never buy crocs for anything other than gardening or taking out the trash?
I know I'm sounding like an ubersnob here but I don't think I'm the only one.

(Assuming this is American Vogue)
Oh Anna, you were smart enough to ban leggings, but why oh why did you allow this?!
There is nothing Crocs can do to hide the cheap-ness of the shoe. Nothing. Not even disguising it as a designer shoe.

After I saw this ad I flipped through a few more pages and came across Pairs Hilton's 2-page perfume advertisement. What are you trying to do to me Anna Wintour?!

Ugh... horrible. Definitely gardening chic. The crocs trend is finally dying, and they're frantically grabbing for new markets as their sales drop.

Awwww, come, give them a chance! Hey, they might look cuter with the Jibbitz! http://www1.jibbitz.com/
NOT! LOL!!!!! As ugly as Crocs are, I don't understand how someone invented Jibbitz and became wealthy making them even uglier.

these are so disgusting, it's actually painful. This whole "they're comfortable" excuse has gone too far, and I seriously feel bad for whoever wastes their money on them.
