as much as I would love to side with your wife (sorry) I just can’t on this issue. Viva la Clog!
June 22nd, 2006 at 12:45 pm
I am a Crocs evangelist. After buying my first pair, I convinced my husband, Dad, and mom to get them. Just last weekend my 12 year old nephew slipped them on to run outside and HE NOW WANTS A PAIR.
CLOGS RULE!

Jon, this is serious. Don’t give in! I agree the crocs are ugly, but I support your right to wear them. This is shoe warfare! Where are those pink numbers she picked up recently? Hostages!

Clogs are bad enough.
But clogs with little holes in the top, holes that were put there on purpose? Now that is just wrong.
Sorry Jon, I am on Heather’s side here. The clogs, they have to go.

Meh. Only a UNC grad would approve of clogs for men. Inside the house, I get that. That way, Heather doesn’t have to deal with the looks she’d get from other people that she is married to a geek (Albeit, a charming one) that doesn’t know any better than not to wear clogs.
But in public? Sir! I must protest! You have many, many healthy foot options for public foot-life.

I’m on your side. Clogs rule. A man’s footwear is … well pretty stinky no matter how you look at it. But the choice should be YOURS!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m with you…and your crayonz pronunciation as well. (My 2-year-old calls them “uns” so what the hell do we know?)
I ain’t too proud to admit that I told my mom to get me some $7 ORANGE Airwalk clogs on sale at Payless this weekend.

haha sorry…but it’s a no go… I had a friend who used to wear Birkenstocks all the time. I called him BIRKENSTOCK MAN!
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:13 pm
Ok Jon. I am with you on this one. 1. they are comfy as hell. it doesn’t get better than these shoes.
2. my hubby is Dutch. Clogs are TOTALLY Dutch. Therefore, they are cool.
Team Jon!

I love Dooce, but I love clogs more.
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:27 pm
I heart clogs. I own a pair and both of my children do also.
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:28 pm
They can take our lives but they cannot take away our clogs!
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:39 pm
I adore Heather and the pink shoes.
I aspire to be a girl that can wear pink shoes.
But in the end, I will always choose a comfy shoe over the pretty one. I am weak like that. (Danskos, Birks, Crocs & Borns - I’ve got comfort in every color.)
Team Clog.

Dude - I am SO with you - on clogs AND Crayons.
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:46 pm
This is more than just about clogs…this is about Crocs…and no woman or man should keep their loved ones from wearing these beauties. Wearing them is a god given right.
long live the crocs!!
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:50 pm
I’ll admit I read Heather’s blog more than yours, I’m with you on the clogfront. I have wide feet that make it impossible to wear most womens dress shoes, so Birkenstock and the like are my friends. Death to the high heeled strappy shoes!
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:53 pm
Jon, i want you to know that I am going to the mall on Saturday to buy a pair of Crocs in your name. My god, they look comfortable as hell and I need something to wear around the house. I may get three pairs. In bright colors.
Every person should have the right to wear whatever they damn well please on their feet. I think dooce’s high heels are ugly and look like something a masochist would wear, but she has every right to wear them.
June 22nd, 2006 at 1:55 pm
DOWN WITH CLOGS! But it IS Cray-on. None of that Crown crap.
June 22nd, 2006 at 2:04 pm
I’m wid you, bro. I lub my crocs and I ain’t givin’ them up for any dame.
Heather should be ashamed of herself, depriving her life partner of his precious shoes. Especially after forcing Chuck to wear pink strappy sandals. What an affront to dogs everywhere.

Clogs ROCK! You go, Jon!

While absolutely supporting your right to don hideous, looks-like-they-were purchased-in-the-bargain-bin-at-the dollar-store clogs, I would also exercise my right to never be seen publicly in the presence of said beasts. As well, if comfort were the defining factor in men AND women choosing a wardrobe ……….. oh, the horror. Nevermind. Don’t think about it.

Gotta go with the clogs. Been wearing them for years. I don’t understand the chauvanism of clogs=females only. Liberate females from their hide-bound thinking, enlighten the masses.
June 22nd, 2006 at 2:35 pm
I’m all for the underdog and something tells me you’re going to need the support.
June 22nd, 2006 at 2:35 pm
Hell yes, brother. I live in my Haflingers.
