Don’t start yelling at us for losing our style sense just yet. We know it’s hard to imagine a pair of Crocs that aren’t fugly, but lo and behold, we present you with a pair that is totes adorable. Someone over at that company got the hint that fashion conscious gals may have liked the comfort of the shoes, but didn’t dig the dowdy silhouette. The result: ballet flats so cute you would never think they were Crocs. Slip your feet into these comfy flats and marvel at how stylish your tootsies look and how happy they feel. At a bargain of 20 bucks and a color variety spanning the rainbow, you will be hard pressed to find a reason not to buy these. [$20, Crocs]

These are still incredibly ugly gardening only shoes.

I think that these are utterly adorable—particularly in light of all the rain we have had in the Northeast. You can look chic in city puddles and country garden parties.Just don’t add any of those odd embellishments people feel they need to add “individuality” to the traditional croc. Colleen, a serious gardener would never wear these; completely useless as they would get sucked into the muck. That’s why we have wellies and work boots. Just my opinion.

My sister wears these in a sling back. They are still a fashion travesty. Women aren’t meant to look like garden gnomes.

I just want to say that they may not be high fashion but for walking around like say 20 blocks to work, that’s okay. Going to the store okay, touristy stuff okay, but not much else. I think they are much better than sneakers, I can’t stand women who wear sneakers to walk to work, your dressed up and wearing ratty old gym sneakers, eww, these are at least feminine and cute.

I just bought a pair of these the other day.
This is after I swore up and down that I would rather die than own a pair of crocs. Oops…

I think these are the perfect shoes to keep in your bag in case of rain or foot pain from heels. But I’d only wear them in black, gray, or some other utilitarian-y color. That way people would know they were just serving a purpose and weren’t part of my outfit.

I’m going to have to say that these are still pretty unattractive. But they’re a good alternative for people who would be wearing crocs ANYWAY because of the comfort factor - baristas, waitresses, etc.

I wear the solid Mary Janes all the time. There’s nothing better if you have to stand or walk around for hours on end.
And I’m a barista and most of the girls wear the cutesy Crocs.

We have the Alice Mary Janes, by the way. No one ever knows they’re Crocs AND they look cute with knee socks.

these are cuter than the original crocs, but you still can’t get away from the feet queefs when you’re in the rain or your feet get sweaty if you wear them barefoot

I had these and ditched them. They made strange squeaky noises. I don’t think my feet are particularly sweaty, but they certainly sounded like they were!

Yeah, I cringed when I read that headline. I still wouldn’t wear them. I’m a nurse and I see far too many Crocs as it is.
But these are especially terrible: http://shop.crocs.com/pc-1444-4-nadia.aspx?navcategories=3,4

I just cracked up so hard when I clicked on that link! Who would thought, tall black boots made of rubber and feathers!! Made by Crocs, to be worn by the sensible, down to earth stripper!
