I don't care if they are fashionable or not, these shoes have been my best friend for over a year now, as I suffer from plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. They have made my days bearable. I would love to have "three pairs at once" - I'm actually heading towards my fourth pair (one at a time too, I walk a lot)!! But I also hope you have been daring enough to wear the mismatched pairs... you could start a trend (fashionable or not, I love my crocs!)Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541426939521836103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984589010445976392.post-57704500401523809472007-11-06T09:50:00.000-05:002007-11-06T09:50:00.000-05:00Those shoes need one big polymer clay button on th...Those shoes need one big polymer clay button on the front of each to tie them together.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit, I think I'd probably wear them like that.

My large cat takes a fancy to anything soft, fluffy or fuzzy, usually a piece of my clothing or a stray stuffed animal or slipper belonging to my daughter. And although he doesn't chew up his 'victims' he enjoys dragging it throughout the house, through all the unswept dirt and cat hair on the floor only to leave it wet with cat spit and an occasional bite mark here and there. We've tried breaking him of it..to no avail. So, I keep a lint roller on hand and my good clothing put away! Maybe your dogs are working undercover for 'Project Runway' and feel the need to 'redesign' your Crocs. I say....wear the leftover Crocs with pride!!!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372091926912356782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984589010445976392.post-2824535742036940732007-11-01T15:45:00.000-04:002007-11-01T15:45:00.000-04:00Kathy,My favorite quote is "Life's too short to ea...Kathy,<BR/>My favorite quote is "Life's too short to eat cheap ice cream".

While it's tempting, I feel like I would have to hand a copy of this blog entry to everyone who looked at my feet and then, of course, I would have to remember to bring the copies with me before leaving the house and then go to the copy shop to make more when I ran out. Plus, I could get kicked out of Wal-Mart if people mistakenly thought I was handing out discount coupons for the new tatoo parlor that just opened down the road. I am pretty fond of Robin's idea that involves chopping off my husband's toes and making him wear the Crocs. Well, maybe the chopping off the toes thing was really my idea but I still like it.

Of course, it's not really a problem about the khaki and olive crocs...wear them, great artists can sometimes seem a bit eccentric, no???<BR/><BR/>A couple of ways that a single shoe ends up on the side of the road with no mate...First, when my, at the time, 2 year old was riding in our car she took one shoe off and threw it out the window. We didn't find out until hours later when we arrived at the wedding where she was suppose to be wearing both of those shoes down the aisle as she was the flower girl. <BR/><BR/>Second, when my oldest daughter and hubby were hit by a drunk driver Misty's shoe flew out the window.

Decorate each with a combination of khaki and olive green polymer clay canes and you've done what they say in the interior design business - "you've tied it all together"!

You also managed to touch upon one of those mysteries that has troubled me as well.....why, oh why is one shoe sitting on the side of the road??<BR/>Good luck with finding a mate for the lonely crocs. But I agree with Marla. Wear them mismatched. Any question...tell them you are an artist. That can explain innumerable fashion missteps. At least khaki and olive work better together than some other options!

If anyone asks about it, you can plead ignorance, colorblindness, nearsightedness, or you can tell them you have another pair just like them at home (VERY old joke).<BR/><BR/>Or tell them life's too short to worry about matching shoes.
