Yeah, yeah, I used to hate Crocs. In fact, I used to hate them SO much I actually joined the FB group, "I Don't Care How Comfortable They Are, You Look Like A Dumbass Wearing Crocs." I mean, rubber clogs as a fashion statement?? Wait, that entire sentence was an oxymoron. There is NO fashion statement at all in rubber clogs. Unless it's "You have abso-freakin-lutely NO fashion sense." But talk about karma. The Crocs company saw fit to shut all of us embittered nasty snarky critics up by coming out with...heels. 3 inch platform wedges to be exact. Snappily called "Rio," trendy and hip, I fell in love with it at first sight. And they have it in size 5, too! You have to understand, I'm a woman who tries to avoid flats whenever I can, unless I know I'm going to be on a tour in a foreign country involving a lot of walking while having two hyperactive kids tag along. In that situation, you have GOT to be ready to RUN at the drop of a hat. But if I'm just flouncing around the shopping malls here, going out lunching with my friends, meeting up with clients or just wandering about town, you can bet your bippy I'm in heels. Stilettos. Platform wedges. Kitten heels. So I've got a Napoleonic complex. So sue me. At least I can do something about it in style. So I have to say, thank YOU, Crocs, for finally coming up with a pair I won't actually be embarrassed to be seen in, and man, are they comfy to boot! I might actually be able to retire my ballet flats soon at the rate I keep wearing this new pair around. Think about it. I'm not only comfy while gallivanting about, I don't have to be THIS short anymore. What's not to love? Crocs Rio platform wedges in black, the exact same pair I got. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion. |

What a croc!  Seriously...never got into the croc craze...and since I am already 6' 3"...really don't need the platforms either...now when they come out with a cowboy boot...DDM

You are tempting me, Ana. I bought a pair of pink stilettos in May. When I matched them with my most elegant knitware and skirt, put them on, and wandered for the first time in a newly built shopping center,guess what happened, the heels are so thin that they kept getting caught in the crevices of boards on the ground. So while calmly pulling them out of the nasty crevices, I would also squeeze smile from time to time at anyone who happened to cast curious looks in my direction. This pair of platform wedges seems to be less that dangerous.

They look good..hmmmm...i wore the other 'crocs' you speak of when i lived and worked in Spain, and they were brill, nothing else was as comfortable in the heat of working in a bar in the height of summer...i didn't really care what they looked like.....with these new ones out i would be 6'1" tall...and the men i really fall for are on average 5'8".. .... Never Give Up Hope...Your Dreams Are Out There....

This pair of platform wedges seems to be less that dangerous. These babies are soooo comfy like you wouldn't believe. I wear them with my denim shorts and a cute shirt. I feel like I could run a marathon in my pair.And ugh, I know what you mean about stiletto heels getting stuck. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Jibbitz! You know, those cartoon rubber decors with stubs they attach to the holes of Crocs? At their age! Surely there must be an age where we try not to look absurd anymore? Wow, and I never knew you were that tall, too! Have you met DDM over there? I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

like Beta I have know idea what they are but then I don't have a shoe fetish (HA!! you didn't honestly think I would not get that in did you?)...anyhooo....they look like the platform shoes from the seventies....all things that you wish would never come back usually do...(including me...ehehehehe)...but seriously, if you're under 5'4" they don't look bad on a person but on anyone that's taller you're asking for serious head injuries going through doors...(cheeky grin)

6/9/2009 1:43 pm |
Ha, I can just imagine you'd get those Croc cowboy boots in violet, to match the Harley, too. Sheesh, DDM--you gave me a crick in the neck just by saying "6'3".  violet?! It's Purple Haze! DDM

poor me had to google to understand what Crocs is But seriously, there have been a lot of escalator accidents involving the original model Crocs, because the tip would get caught in the teeth of the escalator--and there have been some injured toes as a result.

They're everywhere here, beta---aaaaaaaiiieeeeeeeee!!! But seriously, there have been a lot of escalator accidents involving the original model Crocs, because the tip would get caught in the teeth of the escalator--and there have been some injured toes as a result. to me, in my mind, you are very tall and look like an asian doll, those with perfect skin and shiny hair, with those large almond eyes. Have you noticed, they all have tiny feet and a head a bit large compared to the body proportion  is that what makes you so smart pants?  I think we need a suggestion from you in [post 117164]

beta confess being very badly informed about fashion. The largest part of my contact with females happens here at FF and ... are you wearing the Crocs now? Can't see to me, in my mind, you are very tall and look like an asian doll, those with perfect skin and shiny hair, with those large almond eyes. Have you noticed, they all have tiny feet and a head a bit large compared to the body proportion is that what makes you so smart pants? I think we need a suggestion from you in [post 117164]But I admit to the tiny feet and large head, sob! (Went to Ally's blog and posted a bull's balls joke, too) I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I have years since I try to get myself used wearing heels regularly.My many pairs of heels, huddled into closet, are a prove! Unfortunately, each time I run back to my flats! I guess, if you haven't learned it when you were a teen,you will never get it really.

I'm actually very short and resemble a Cabbage Patch doll with my nose. But I admit to the tiny feet and large head, sob! (Went to Ally's blog and posted a bull's balls joke, too) anyway, imagine what it would be life with large feet and tiny head the question in that blog still remains open: you are our specialist on cooking, what do we serve with the peppered ones?

ummm... I have no idea what 'crocs' are? other than a 3 inch Rio Heel in black? I am fashionably clueless as I am.. I am fairly certain I don't own a set of these... between the stars, beyond the planet mars, there Sens will be

ok, now i know what crocs are... those are like THE MOST unattractive things. I put my feet into a pair just to see what they would feel like... yeah. no. between the stars, beyond the planet mars, there Sens will be

My feet actually get tired more easily with very very flat shoes. I need to have a little heel every time. Even my flip-flops aren't that flat! (To see how they look like, check out the Fit Flops site. I got the black ones)I cannot stand the very flat ones either - sort of same style of sole as the Fit Flops you have showed me, however I am not such a big fan of flip-flops. Damn fussy!

My feet are well designed for high heels,as I have quite an arch but, I just can't adapt to them cause, I am a fast walker and keeping the speed rhythm is important to me.

I'm more of a FitFlop gal than Havaianas myself, though my sister in law did give me a pair of the latter as a birthday gift once, and they are soooo comfortable, so I can understand why you're addicted.

A redneck in a suit and tie is still a redneck. Crocs with heels are still crocs. And you, Ana, are still SHORT. I think they make the prisoners at Gitmo wear crocs. Seriously. ~ B. Stay thirsty, my friends.

That's the THIRD time you've maligned my lack of height, Frankie. This is a veritable declaration of war. Start covering your shins, boyo. I'm gonna aim my stilettos at them. And last I heard, they lock prisoners at Gitmo in a room wallpapered all over with that nude poster of David Hasselhoff with puppies strategically covering his more delicate parts, while one of his songs plays on a loop. If that isn't an outright violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture, I don't know what is. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

6'9" minus 3 inches means you're 6'6". Dang, I might have to strap them platform wedges on DirtyDingusMagee, who's 6'3". You know, men get so easily intimidated by women who are slightly taller than them. So, my 172cm plus 3" would make me taller than the average Asian man in my age range. Now don't tell me to go out with the ones who are taller than 5'10" 'cause they are just a bit too young for me  It's nice to be insane when No one is watching

yeah they look cool Ana. i wish i saw this blog of yours earlier. This past year I bought a couple pairs of comfy shoes with hells too, Scholl, i was really surprised to find them on shelves. They even got some compliment!! lol One of them in black, wedges, and they look similar to the picture shown here but the band is much smaller. I don't really follow trends for shoes (my feet are very fussy I must go by the comfort first or I never wear them twice!). Personally I'm a sandals gal, although I know tiny hells add sexy look on your legs but 3 inches are the highest hells I could tolerate and still comfortable enough. I merely wear hells to work or with evening attires. Luckily there're lots of attractive an inch flats these days. I'm not wearing hells for a while until I get a new job and back to work. Thus, I just bought several sandals on my recent trip, only to come back home ordered (3 colors) of FITFLOPs i couldn't find in stores (at the last minute). You know (right?) i wanted to make a shortcut from literally working out my butt off. I know I’m rather high-maintenance but I did work for them. Cheers to womanhood!!  ♥ Da gurl next door

Oh forgot that i once had a pair of croc sandals!! ...in brown, and they are ugly!! i'm not that shopaholic, but i just had to buy something. I got them while walking around shops in Hawaii long ago but I never wore them anywhere else, perhaps they rest quietly in storage. lol ♥ Da gurl next door

I guess, if you haven't learned it when you were a teen,you will never get it really. In college, I wore a brand new pair of 4 inch hells once, they really attacked me (my feet)! I couldn't stand and walked bare feet (I was that kind of girls who never cared even if anyone stared at my zits walking in public either!! hahaha) before I went to a small street-shop and had them cut an inch off! ♥ Da gurl next door

I agree! I got too comfortable with sandals too much, even my dad said once they made my feet big and flat out!!!! Big feet are said for girls that are born and work in rice field! sheesh how stereo-type! I'm an eight-inches sized (shoes) female Asian!!

Size 8?? Ack. My niece is a size 9, and she absolutely HATES it. I'm often in doubt whether they are the same one as on display or not (they never put up size 8 +) ...but always disappointed when the sales person brings in my SIZE! boo hooo they just don't look the same style! ♥ Da gurl next door
