Famous People in Clogs
June 22nd, 2006…are rare. I was hoping to start the day with several links to images of famous people in clogs. In my cursory search I could only find one, and that was from a commenter.
To start us off, here’s Tim McGraw in blue Crocs. (Thanks redheaded goddess)
Here’s the image:

If you’ve got more, comment below. It would appear the famous are not in the Clog Army. o

I have nothing against clogs, but Crocs as normal, everyday footwear drive me up the wall. They are extremely useful for outdoor activities, such as camping or going to the beach. But all too often, I see people wearing them around my office.
And just last week, I saw them on my husband’s feet DURING OUR FANCY ANNIVERSARY OUTING. I am no fashion fascist, but this was oh so wrong. I think he figured that because he had deigned to wear a white button-down shirt for the occasion (and only after much badgering by yours truly), footwear was fair game.
Check out my hot shoes vs. the Crocs. I can’t believe my shoes were seen in public with those things.
OK, sorry, but those shoes are some of the butt-ugliest I have seen. And I am a chick with huge feet, so I have seen some butt-ugly shoes.
And the bride? In the link? I cannot believe she did that to herself. She is going to look at that photo several years from now and say to herself, “OMG what was I thinkng?!?! Those are butt-ugly and they ruined my look!”
Sorry, Jon, you’re awesome and all, but I am firmly in Heather’s Pink Heels Brigade.
I used to be a former clog hater and then I tried on my Danskos. I love them so much, that I now have multiple pairs and am trying to figure out how to smuggle the handpainted ones I saw at Nordstroms past my husband. When it comes to clogs they are great because I can wear longer jeans without a fancy schmancy heel.
Just found an interesting blurb in November 1996 Movieline magazine:
“To some stars, the 60’s will never be over. Those frequenting the CLOG MASTER include everyone from Cher to all the ‘doctors’ on “ER”. Rock stars like Sinead O’Connor, Queen’s Brian May and Kiss’s Paul Stanley shop for their clogs from the comfort of their hotel suites, whiile real clog addicts like Whoopi Goldberg and Sarah Jessica Parker (“the biggest celebrity buyer of clogs known to man”) always come into the store in person. Whether Parker’s clog collection rivals Jamie Lee Curtis’s and Dustin Hoffman’s (who brought his wife and children in for a family set) is a Hollywood mystery to which only a few business managers know the answer.” – Thomas Mournian
Faith Hill’s shoes are WAY cuter than those clodhoppers.
Link love! Are you ready?

You HAVE lost it. Since when are celebrities fashionistas? You must not check out the fashions at http://gofugyourself.typepad.com much…
I don’t know whether to be more upset at the fact that you have resorted to such measures, or that Matt Damon wears Crocs. My fantasy bubble has burst.
From the link below: “More recently pop celebrity Brain May [sic] (formerly of Queen) has been photographed wearing clogs. May seldom wore them on live performances but found his clog extremely comfortable. Another public devotee to clogs is Whoopi Goldberg who has been seen wearing them in several of her movies including Made in America. ”

Dude. Brian May and Whoopi Goldberg. It doesn’t get any more hardcore than that. Power to the people!
Hold one of Heather’s favorite pairs of heels for randsom.
Jes, I’m not sure I can be your roommate at BlogHer now. Even if you aren’t a Croc-lover, you are definitely aiding and abetting Colonel Crocstrong in the Crocolicious Army.
*shaking head*
Perhaps the most famous clog-wearer ever, Brian May of Queen (featuring several angles of the clogs):

“Colonel Crocstrong in the Crocolicious Army”
If you read that too fast, it makes you “Colonel Cockstrong and the Cockolicious Army”.
And I think I like that name better! Maybe it’ll distract Heather from her true cause…
Jon, if she doesn’t give ‘em back, go buy these:

I just got the army green/orange & I feel like I could drive a tank now. I had to leave Heather’s comments because someone just started bashing Steely Dan. How many logos can you design in a day????
It’s true about chefs! Many of them wear them, not just Batali. Last night, tobyjoe and I had the pleasure of seeing Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain and Bill Buford all together at the New York Public Library. Bill Buford just put out a book called _Heat_. At one point during their talk Bourdain (chef and writer of Kitchen Confidential) said, “Ultimately, we stand around in clogs and aprons doing the work our mothers always did.”
It’s true! And we laughed. Tobyjoe (clog wearer) especially.
Incidentally, Tobyjoe was in a Moby video and he has a book published on PHP. Does that make him famous enough to be in this club?
P.S. that last bit was a joke. Like writing a book about PHP makes anyone famous. But it might explain his attraction to the Crocs.
Um, I’m a chef and I’ve never worn clogs.
I refuse! My feet could bleed and you still couldn’t get me to wear them.
Jon, this picture proves that men who not only wear clogs, also wear aquamarine (or bright green, hard to tell) shorts, YUCK. Now you have her family wearing them too, poor GEORGE.

More important than famous people wearing Crocs is the fact that my 56 year-old father-in-law is now a Croc wearing convert. We bought him a pair for Father’s Day and according to the M-I-L he puts them on the minute he walks in the house (can’t wear them to work, factory gig) and doesn’t take them off until bed. For a guy from the middle of Wisconsin to be sporting Crocs is saying A LOT!
Power to the people!
I am sure there are more famous ppl that wear clogs…
On the grand scale of battle of the spouses, this is just not high on my priority list. I’m hoping this is all a big joke.
I can’t imagine anyone putting their foot down (pun intended) over what kind of shoes someone else wears. That just seems silly/controlling/stubborn? Not sure.
I think you both should just get naked except for Jon wearing his clogs and Heather wearing the footwar, I mean footwear of her choice, and trust me, you’ll soon forget about the damn shoes
(If not, marriage counseling is always an option).
I have to find a picture of him in them, but Emeril loves clogs so much that he has his own line of them at his store:

Karen, Perhaps this is something we should have resolved prior to agreeing to be roommates.
Did you not know that my favorite reading material (looking material? there’s not much to read) is US Weekly?
Besides that, did you see WHO the celebrities were? I mean, HELLO: Jessica Simpson. I have some words for her. And they’re not pretty words, either.
I thought they were ugly. I still don’t find them terribly attractive….
But I don’t care if the rest of you don’t wanna see ‘em in public. You aren’t sitting on my sofa crying because your toe hurts like I am when I wear most any other shoe… INCLUDING “athletic shoes”.
I suffer for fashion when necessary. But running errands around town is not “necessary”.
My husband doesn’t find them terribly attactive either. But he’s glad I’m not in pain. My 10 year old loves hers for a variety of reasons… including the seems like something naughty aspect of wearing them into the shower to get them clean.
At least my underwear isn’t hanging out of my jeans, my fat roll isn’t muffintopping out of my jeans and you aren’t lookin’ at my butt crack… Far worse fashion issues than my ubercomfy shoes…
Just keep buying more Jon….
