Back on topic...

Yes, Crocs and flip-flops get very little respect around here, but this forum goes beyond heels and even shoes -- for example the general fashion and cross-dressing sections.

I'm getting older and find I can't wear heels like I used to, but I still love to wear nice/interesting shoes. Since men's shoes are pretty much stuck on flat-heeled black, brown, or white athletic, I frequently wear styles from the other side of the store.

For the summer I have some nice green Steve Madden flip-flops with a modest platform and wedge heel, and bright red Crocs. Yes, many think Crocs hideous, but there are, at least to my eye, even worse looking shoes. At least the Crocs are red, and the flip-flops have wedge heels.

I also like my Ryka Mary Janes which are heel-less, too. I've had a couple men say they like them, and ask where I got them, along with complements on the flip-flops because they look so thick, sturdy, and comfortable.

So, I think there's room in High Heel Place for flip-flops, Crocs with white socks peeking through the holes, MBT's, and white canvas Keds if that's what moves you.

Perhaps we need a thread of "Shoe Confessions, My Secret Brown Loafers from Wal-Mart."
