the new jelly shoe

well wack

[Sheridan]

I think they are ugly beyond belief.
I have heard they are comfortable, but fuck, just look at them!

[cut out]

big no.

[gypsy_cream]

theyre for fat asda families

[cut out]

i thought they were more aimed at those bleary eyed middle age/class people you see in high streets who think anything new/colourful/heavily marketed is cool. (see uniqlo)

[Sheridan]

most people who I have seen wear them work in the medical field, doctors, nurses, etc.

[skosh]

bet they make the feet sweat like mad lol

[Loz]

I had hoped this thread would be about Crazy Croco's. I am now sad.

[thepigjockey]

Hospital staff somewhere got banned from wearing them cos they fucked up sensitive equipment iirc.

I always thought they were hippy-millie tant-social worker-mung bean style. My mum's got some. I'll try and encourage the dog to eat them next time I visit :)

[darrell]

Put black calf high socks on to cement the look

[thembuzz]

they're alright. they don't make good pets, though

[thembuzz]

sorry, but someone had to

[Brownthing]

Look like they'd be ok for gardening. Not much else.

[gypsy_cream]

climbin in rock pools?

Uphill gardening, in a rock pool.

[spoon]

gay surgical clogs, nah!

[TimB]

My Missus has 2 pairs and she loves 'em. She says they are super comfy.

Don't diss 'em till you've tried 'em.

"Fat ASDA family shoes"......?

Hmmmm.

[bob]

proper dodgy, especially all the really bad knock off versions

[Brownthing]

How much do they go for anyway?

[Sheridan]

I think they are fairly cheap.
I have seen them for about $30 in the states.

Just did a google search, they're 30 quid here (= $60). It winds me up something chronic when retailers equate dollars to pounds.

I'm off to reattach my 'Rip-Off Britain' placard to my transit van.

make sure you put it next to your 'Find Maddie' one.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

...and make sure you cross out that black guy on your neighbourhood watch sticker (I remember seeing cunts that did that...)

yeah, that is messed up.
it is just some foam.
they probably cost a few dollars to make anyway.

[kams]

kids shoes

Can anybody confirm what they are made of - foam or jelly?

Dunno how anybody can be expected to be taken seriously wearing them...I honestly lol'd at some cunt in Richmond wearing a pair of orange crocs. He looked hurt and rightly so.

That was the first time i had ever seen them but the guy wearing them was a total fashion victim and deserved my scorn.

I've got that embroidered into my extra large St. Georges flag.

I heard that they're made from the jellified bone marrow of chinese orphans.

[Sheridan]

according to wikipedia it is made of a foam resin consisting of ethylene vinyl acetate.

[thepigjockey]

kids shoes

Agreed. They look fine on a childrens. On anyone else they're wrong.

[thepigjockey]

whuh?

here's the link:

Think it was just a risk of banging your toe up with Diamorphine that they were worried about.

edit- Sheri's right, I wasn't imagining it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,2061288,00.html

[Sheridan]

in the wiki article they said sweden banned them because the shoes could create an electric charge and shock equipment.

it's alright when you're in the states, though, and suddenly everything's half-price

mind you, i can't afford to go to the states because everything's so expensive here

[bob]

they're foam, place I used to work got them in about 2 or 3 years and ago and I was like 'no chance' but it seems I have been proved wrong.

[namshub]

are'nt they just fluro birkenstocks??

fucking hideous.

[bob]

we sold birkenstocks too..

[Brownthing]

A birkenstock saved my foot once when I went over it with a lawnmower. The sandal was ruined but my foot escaped without a scratch.

Therefore, don't diss the birkens.

[FiST]

they be fugly.

[adsr]

my niece this weekend had a new pair of pink ones on while at the beach..

she threw them off at one point and said, "they make my feet sweat!!"
and tried to throw them in the trash...lol..

crockodowndilly-oh

wine, beer and spirits all the time
though I have you still she's always on my mind
the rain falls down I'm soaking through
I'm an old man inside a young man's suit
my crocodile shoes are crying too
for they know how much love I have for you

crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes

wine, beer and spirits take me down
the lights are low and there's no one else around
the waitress sure looks pretty and that's a bad sign
I smile at her still yo're always on my mind

with your crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes

I've lost so much in a short time
don't see my kids how I miss my wife
I let the world slip through my hands
and now I'm talking to the only friends I have

crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
they're crying too
they're crying too
crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes

[thepigjockey]

[grobelaar]

Me and my girlfriend saw this woman in Canary Wharf - she was parading around the fancy shops in a Juicy Couture velour tracksuit - I think lime green colour - this was married with bright neon pink Crocs - not a good look - but she seemed to think that she was hoity toitying around in a couple of grand's worth of designer clobber.

Girlfriend has a black pair that she got from a relative in the US - they're great gardening shoes - about it really.

[Paddy]

spacker shoes.

[dom_90]

[JonnySpeed]

my cleaner wears them for cleaning. Kinda like industrial shoes and very suitable.
