Crocs - wearers look like escapees from insane asylum

[Idreamofdaleks]

stop kidding yourselves they look funky

they look institutionalised

nice

How did you know?
I thought I was blending in quite well?

i do spend a lot of time in hospitals, so can i be excused?

am actually quite offended by that

and i tend not to make a fuss about thread titles, but really....not funny

not aimed at hatrick - x posted

tasteless shoes more likely

Actually I've just read "Fingersmith" and when she is institutionalised, they make her wear rubber shoes and I immediately thought of Crocs.

oh for goodness sake

plenty of mumsnetters struggle with depression and some have been in hospital because of it

by all means, take the piss out of crocs, don;t be so blardy thoughtless

You're right

When my 2 year old daughter wears her favourite Dora crocs, she looks like she suffers from mental health problems

I'll bin them now.

Boris, dear..Where did you get Dora crocs?
I know a little girl who'd love some!

Ebay

Best £20 I ever spent

Cheers. Misdee's dd3 would love them.

Ah yes, the lovely S is a Dora fan aswell.

I love her little dora 'converse'.

thread title isn't having a go at people with depression, lulumama, not sure why you think that

I think croc wearers look insane as this is institutional looking footwear and it is very censorial/PC to suggest that I shouldn't air that opinion!

Admit you have made a fashion error and move on

I got 2 pairs for £7 in a local shop

probably the reference to the insane asylum bit? you know, the big white hospital where they send all those people. I agree, crocs only look cute on lo's but the title was a bad choice of words

OK so how could I have said it in a PC way

well, i didn;t thikn you were having a go at people with depression, but mocking their treatment...you know, an insane asylum, institutionalised.

i found it offensive, i am not attempting to censor you or say don;t use the word

i am expressing that i think it was tasteless and thoughtless

i like crocs, i;m not going to say, oh yeah, i made a faux pas..and move on..

i have every right to say your thread title offended me

I can understand you feeling offended that I mocked your choice of shoes, but can't get how I have mocked any treatments for depression???

Feel free to have a go back at flip flop wearers however

what do you think an insane asylum is???? a psychiatric unit ...

anyhoo, i don;t want to get in a big argument, i was just saying i was offended

am too tired to argue !

doras crocs wrong size for misdee's S.

she calls crocs pirate shoes now. no idea why. maybe because of the croc in peter pan lol.
