I gave in and bought some CROCS

I know, I know. What does a slightly overweight, 6'3.5" 38 y/o male like me have any business going and buying a pair of CROCS. I need accessories to make me look cool, not like a goofy guy approaching midlife. But I was walking around in may favorite flip flops over Memorial Day Weekend and my feet were killing me. Supposedly the flip-flop craze will pay off with many of us having chronic feet issues to deal with. I believe it. So I walk into this store with buying a cool pair of those hiking shoes that are a cross between flip flops and hiking shoes on my mind. They weren't selling them but they had CROCS all over the freakin' place. I didn't go for the normal clog looking CROC but for the flip-flop CROC. I slipped them on my bare pain-stricken feet and I let out an audible sigh. It's like I was walking on air. I know I just used a tired metaphor, but my feet did feel instant relief. So, if you are not planning on being a fashion guru but want to treat your feet to some cushiony goodness, put away your pride and by some flip-flop CROCS.
