Or... both?Honestly, I find them pretty ugly, and at first I wasn't interested in owning them. Then I got a pair and they are so easy and so comfortable that I got over my initial thoughts that they were too ugly to wear.
My husband still says that he hates crocs, but I bought him a pair that he wore so often that he literally wore a hole in the bottom and had to replace them. So lately he says when asked that he hates them but they are so comfortable that he wears them anyway.
I own two pair, a black and kind of a turquoise. I wear the black most often, and in fact I have them on right now with dress clothes because I hurt one of my toes and didn't want to wear regular shoes. I am interested in the MaryJane style and I think the flip flops are cute. I just saw a high heeled wedge sandal on the website and I'm intrigued by that too.
What about you guys - do you wear them? do you like them? hate them? What do you think?

Although the price is steep, I recommend that you try the real crocs brand. With many things I don't think it makes a difference if you have the real thing or a knockoff, but I have found the real crocs shoes to be much more comfortable than the fake crocs I had worn in the past. Either way glad you enjoy!
(And maybe with a dark color like my black ones you maybe could get away with wearing them to work???)

They are VERY ugly. But very comfortable. If you're on your feet all day like me (I'm a teacher), then you live for them!! I need another pair actually...

My duaghter has a pair and she loves them,but I don't like them at all. I think that they are ugly and that they are very uncomfortable. I have a lot of foot problems and I just can't seem to get used to them.

when i saw these crocs in the department store, i was so shocked with their really steep prices considering that they dont really look that fashionable. i heard feedback though with the quality and that they are really very comfortable when worn. still im not intersted in wearing these kind of croc, what got my attention are the maryjanes coz they really look nice. and with the quality and feedback about how comfortable they are, im sure this will really be worth the buy.

My 4 year old loves them. She has them in practically every color (fakes ones - target brand or whatever). I don't like them and my husband actually hated them and then I found him a pair at Walgreens that were a spin-off of the Skechers crocs and he does wear them around the yard and pool and stuff but has yet to wear them in "public". I've been trying to find a pair to fit my 2 year old because he is always running around on the deck and getting splinters so at least with crocs he can slip them on himself. Anyone know where to get a knock off pair in size 9/10?

Personally, I used to be one of the many who found them UGLY, so I never considered buying a pair. Then we went to Portland, OR for my Birthday in August and I needed a comfortable pair of shoes to walk in, and was suggested I try a pair of Crocs, and boy am I glad I did. Crocs are wonderful. I now own 2 pair, and would Love to add to my collection of colors. The only problem I have is when they rub against my Ingrown toenail which can hurt.

i just love crocs! i am basically the funky type so when the first crocs hit the market, i immediately had my first pair, a yellow one which became my favorite, and now it's been my obsession to collect more colors. too bad that crocs are a bit pricey here in the philippines, but i'm determined to get as many colors as i can to match my clothes. they're so comfy and i can actually wear them with anything --- jeans, shorts, skirts, whatever, wherever... even at the office!
