This a dopey "lifestyle" essay about Croc shoes. It's too bad we didn't have the internet back in the days of Members Only jackets and Izod shirts. Yeesh.
I have one pair that I wear in the yard and that I can kick off easily without tracking dirt into the house. Kids like them for the same reason: they're easy to get on and off without much fuss.
And yes, by this time next year no one with any self-respect will be wearing them in public. That's why it's called a fad.
