Adult Males in Children’s Footwear? No, No, No!

The reader question was as follows:

I'd like to see an expose on the desperate need to immolate ALL crocs! Better yet--let's recycle them and save both the planet and fashion.

And along the same lines:
also, what about those flip flop things that are popular in the spring/summer? why do people insist on wearing those things even in bars? if I stop on your toes in a crowded area...oh well...

Okay, here is the deal… Croq’s are for little kids or for gardening. Don’t wear them to work. I beg of you.

And flip flops… I have talked about this before. Get some nice Keens or sandals. But for the love of god, please do not wear flip flips to work. It’s and equally bad idea to wear them to a bar… what if some drunken queen drops her martini glass on your foot? And guys who wear them with suits or nice dress pants? “That don’t impress me much!”

Flips flops should be reserved for the beach, public showers, use around the house or at most dropping your trombone at one of your best friend’s homes on a Friday morning.

Protect your feet and dress like a sensible adult.

I've never had a liking for Croq's. They are indeed like children's shoes. And flip flops are so wrong outside the pool or beach area.
