The only thing in the world I hate more than Crocs are Uggs. Evidently, the two have mated, spawning this vile demon bastard footwear spotted recently in Houston. Where it is 100 degrees. (Thanks, Katie)

Reader comment: Samir M. Nassar says,

I might not be a proud Crocs owner, but my feet are happy. I work a

twelve-hour night shift at a hospital. This entails lots of walking to and

fro. After years of suffering at the hands of sneakers and tennis-shoes I put

down my money for a pair of Crocs and my feet have been singing the praises

since.

For the record, mine are black, and don't have the stupid holes on top and I

do cringe when I see them worn out in the street. Tacky!
