As America's Chief Bombast, and therefore Primary Arbiter of Fashion, I feel it is my duty to issue another directive:
Do not wear the shoes known as Crocs in public, except possibly at water-related activities.
I don't care how comfortable or convenient they are. That's not sufficient justification for exposing the rest of us to that.
Especially if you're so deranged that you'd consider wearing crocs with socks.
(I am forced to recall the brief tenure of jellies back in the 80s, but at least it was shortened by the uncomfortableness of the shoes.)
Yeah, well. We all have our crocs to bear.
And in Britain, it's "a lifestyle choice". Silly Brits.
