Yes, these are really Crocs. No, we still won't wear them.
Nice try, Crocs. After filling the world with evil clown shoes, you cannot easily win us over with a new line of footwear that looks almost normal. The new summer shoes from the financially troubled maker of the ubiquitous rubber footwear preferred by slovenly folks everywhere is now out. As you can see, the company is trying to move away from its ugly history. Extra points for toning down the day-glo colors. But until Crocs announces that it will stop producing the clown shoes entirely, holds a mass recall of said ugly rubber footwear followed by a massive recycling effort to turn all old Crocs into homes for Haiti, we simply can't help bankroll the company.
