Hideously ugly or somehow attractive?














Jess needed some new footwear, but never would I have guessed that she opt for 'Crocs'!!

If you ask me, this brand is overhyped, darn ugly, childish, damn expensive for what it is (it is made of plastic for God's sake and not leather......the factory pumps out tons of these shoes on a daily basis....where is the craftmanship?).

But yes....she opted for Crocs because of the following qualities :
  • comfy (very light to wear)
  • affordability
  • ease of maintenance (less polish and clean)

She admits that they don't really look good, but this time practical sense has the upper hand.

Well, whilst she was trying out a few pairs, I was wandering around, gaping at all those plastic shoes.....blimey, people really pay for this stuff?......

The crazy things were definitely the 'Jibbitz'..... childrenlike ornamentals to be plugged on (decorate) shoes....more a gimmick to lure kiddo's to ask mum and pops in order to be a 'designer' of one's own pair of shoes. Do you realize how much these "Jibbitz' cost? An outrageous RM10 (2 euro's) per piece (I can eat all day long with a bleeping RM10 if I want to) !!!

And other accessories galore.......a handphone pouch, ofcourse made out of plastic again....what in a name.

Okay, okay.....I should shut my mouth first and try out one of their shoes first before I continue my ranting.......maybe then I might change my mind and realize how 'good' these shoes really are.

A big MAYBE..........oh, in case if you are wondering whether the little dragon girl also has Crocs....yes, she already has a pair, thank you very much.
