I'm Full of Croc(s) 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 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 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 instead of Oh God in the throes of passion. |

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.

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.

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. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I'm way under 5'4". Way under. I wear these and I get to 5'4". It's a no-brainer for a shrimp like me. Every time I think of the 70s I think of Donna Summer. Now I've got "Bad Girls" playing in my head. Toot toot, heeeey, beep beep!!! I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

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) I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

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'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

They actually had a High Heels Marathon in Moscow just recently, if I remember right. I bet I could've put up a good race in my Croc Rios. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

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. Have a great weekend, Daphne! 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". I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.
