1. I have 1 pair...
Like the ones in your pic, only basic black.

I only wear them when it's raining so I don't ruin my Birks.

2. I have a pair but they make my feet sweat so I only wear them outside
when I'm working in the garden. They are great for that.

3. I've got 3 pairs -
A closed toe pair, a Disney pair and the Nile sandal. I've been wearing the closed toe pair to work the last week because of a scrape on my ankle. Regular shoes hit just wear the scrape is and exacerbate it. The Crocs don't. All mine are black, although the Disney pair have a red strap. I find them very comfortable.

7. My Mom bought me a purple pair
The only place I can wear them is outside in the garden - It feels weird to walk on them, like I'm drunk and unstable :shrug:

10. I don't, but I'm curious about them
What makes them so appealing? Are they really comfortable? I have issues with plastic shoes, so I have avoided them so far. :hi:

16. Real Crocs are great!
Don't get the fake ones..they smell. Real Crocs have something in them that keeps your feet from smelling. They're very comfortable and great for yard work or boating.

17. I can't wear Birks. They hurt my feet so badly, I'm hobbling after 10 minutes.
Everybody is different.

19. I have three pair
I bought my daughter the Mary Janes (sooo cute!)

I have a heel spur in one foot, and they make my foot feel great for very little money.

I have to confess I might be addicted!

20. Well, I had a spectacled caiman for a while...
...and I absolutely fell in love with a baby saltwater croc once at a swap meet, who (for better or worse) was not for sale-- Oh, wait, you mean shoes of some kind? Never mind. :)

28. I think they are the ugliest shoe since the Birkenstock
(Jellies actually could be sort of cute, albeit grody)

BUT- I tried a friends pair on last week and I "got" why people say they are so comfortable.

You'll still never find me in a pair of crocs or birks... I love cute shoes too much

22. Two for me.
One pair was for my daughter but she grew out of them so I can wear them. Great for climbing hills since my feet slid out of flip-flops.
