Everybody who needs a less ugly, almost nice looking shoe, but wants the Croc, buy their Flip Flop.

I believe men should wear flip flops over clogs. Your wife is an understanding angel as far as I’m concerned. 0:-)

Nice presentation, too. Silly = entertaining. But you’re still wrong.

Is it ok to swing both ways?

Or does it make me footwear confused…

This is my Sophie’s choice!
We shouldn’t have to make this choice. There are enough days of the week (and events) to wear both.

Just wanted to let you know that another victory is at hand. I had been thinking about getting an easy-on type shoe for home because I have to wear shoes at some point all the time because of foot problems. With additional clog exposure gained from your site (and Dooce!), I have decided–No! PROCLAIMED!–that I will get clogs. No really. And I’m going to get a bright, scary color, and no doubt will be eventually lazy and/or comfy enough to wear them in public. Do you get a toaster oven now or something?

I’ve been a loyal reader of your wife’s blog for about a year now. I occasionally make it over to yours, but for some reason just haven’t been quite as loyal to yours (please don’t hate me). Anyway, I have to side with your wife on the fact that those clogs are just horrible, but your presentation was super “rad,” so you get points from me…even though the presentation didn’t make the clogs any more rad.

The worst thing about this argument is that whichever font you use in your comments puts the c and the l in “clog” too close together, so it looks like everyone’s talking about dogs. These comments are very different when you read it as an argument over dogs vs. flip-flops.

Especially the one about clog penetration.

Jon, I have to say that I think the Crocs look better when the heel strap is not engaged. That just makes them look extra geeky. I am not opposed to clogs – in fact, I like both clogs and flip flops (and I really want Heather’s pink shoes) but the less geeky they look, they better.

I get sick of seeing various disgusting extremities slothing around in flip flops. In this part of the country they are worn all year round. Hey, we get a little warmer weather in January, ok…. here comes the white, crusty, lint-coated digits. Yuck. I agree Clogs do rule. They keep my eyes happy.

Uh oh – your pie chart is incorrect…

If you own 75% of the clogs in the house, and Chuck own 25%, and we’ve seen photgraphic proof that Chuck has 4 clogs (2 pair), then you must own 8 PAIRS of them. Which, I think, might be a new record.

Ok, I was just thinking: are Crocs the new jelly shoes? I saw a lady wearing a pair [of jelly shoes] the other day.
