Long-time readers will recall my earlier rant about Crocs, the travesty of fashion that some people refer to as footwear. Yesterday I found vindication in the form of a news story:
Got Crocs? Be Careful on the Escalator
By SARAH KARUSH – 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — At rail stations and shopping malls around the world, reports are popping up of people, particularly young children, getting their toes caught in escalators. The one common theme seems to be the clunky soft-soled clogs known by the name of the most popular brand, Crocs.
Feel free to read the rest at your leisure, but suffice it to say that Crocs are not only a fashion nightmare but dangerous as well. Of course there are people out there that contend that any shoe is potentially dangerous on escalators (flip-flops, long shoe laces, etc.) so Crocs shouldn't be singled out, but sometimes I am happy to jump on the media bandwagon -- and this is one of those times.
As a reminder people: Crocs were developed for boating and gardening shoes, so unless your doing one of those two activities or are Mario Batali I suggest looking for alternative footwear.

Blech. To me, those damn shoes are just as bad as the the jelly shoe and are best relegated to the the recycling center.
But maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm one of few people who live in fear of the kind of shoe that will make a person's foot sweat. And we all know what sweating leads to.
Blech.
