wow...they actually got uglier.

LOL Amanda!

They're called "cruggs!"

Part Croc. Part Ugg.

I didn't like Crocs either...until I fell in love with the Mary Janes. I love mine in simple black. They go well with shorts and capris. These though...I just don't know. I like the idea, but don't get the holes.

ha ha that look like they will keep you warm and cool all at the same time!

Please, No!

Awful!

they make no sense!!

I do not understand the appeal of crocs. Unless you are a toddler.

Those are definitely ugly, but the Croc mary janes and prima styles are actually quite fashionable. I ever wear the primas to and from (and sometimes at) work. They are good for my feet, and I'm not in pain by the end of the day like I am when I wear heels.

ugly. like some one threw up on shoes or something.

Hideous.

These shoes are sooo Hollywood...everyone wears them at the Grove and Bevery Center! BLAH!

My hospital hasn't banned them, but they do frown upon them. It's a safety hazard with all those holes! would you want poop, blood or any of the other nasty body fluids I come in contact daily on your feet? Not me! I'll stick to my pumas and new balance!

FROM ABC.NEWS.COM

Those big, bold gardening clogs that come in bright colors and mold to the shape of your feet seem to be everywhere these days.

The company that makes one kind of rubber clogs, Crocs, sold 6 million of them last year.

In some online chat rooms and blogs, however, parents are sharing stories about kids having accidents while wearing the shoes.

Some people have reported that kids wearing Crocs have had their feet sucked into the side of escalators.

Some businesses have even posted warning signs near their escalators saying if you're wearing Crocs, be careful.

Chloe Johnson, 10, from Kansas City, is one of those kids who had a frightening experience while wearing the shoes.

She loved her Crocs. "I wore them almost everywhere," she said.

Last year on an escalator at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport, she had a huge scare.

"Chloe said, 'My toe, my toe,'" said her mother, Kay Hopkins. "And we took the Croc off and seeing the blood and seeing her toe -- it was frightening."

The escalator was crowded, and the toe of Chloe's left shoe was sucked between the escalator stair and the side wall.

"To have this happen with your child standing right next to you ends up being pretty shocking," said Chloe's father, Neil Johnson.

Chloe's foot recovered, but last month, two children wearing Crocs in Arkansas had more serious injuries.

"Imagine that you are taking a child shopping and out of the blue their foot is mangled, trapped," said James Yuen, a plastic surgeon at Arkansas Children's Hospital. "Can you imagine a child stuck for almost an hour? It is a very traumatic event."

It's not just Crocs that pose a danger -- any soft, pliable shoe, even flip-flops, can be dangerous on an escalator.

Escalator Safety Tips
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates about 10,000 people go to the emergency room every year after accidents on escalators. Of those, 20 percent involved having hands, feet or shoes trapped.

The industry has worked for years to make escalators safer, but not every state has adopted the latest codes.

Arkansas, for example, is still using regulations that date back to the early 1990s.

The makers of Crocs are designing a new tag that includes escalator safety tips.

In a statement, the company told ABC News: "Crocs shoes are completely safe. & Escalators and moving sidewalks, particularly those that have not received proper care and maintenance, can be dangerous and pose risks to their riders."

But Chloe's parents are convinced that the Crocs were an important factor in her accident.

"They did have the escalator inspected, and everything was running, functioning well," said Chloe's mother.

About 245 million people ride escalators every day, and only a small number of incidents have been reported, so it's not an epidemic.

But to be safe, experts say parents should make sure children ride in the center of the escalator step.

Parents of small children should carry them, and kids should not run their foot along the wall -- that creates friction and heat, which could explain why the Crocs seem to melt around the edge of the step.

And remember that escalators are now outfitted with emergency stop buttons.

If you run into trouble, you can shut it down pretty quickly.

I think they're ugly! I wouldn't be able to wear them to work since I work in a lab and they count as "sandals/open toed shoes". I think the only place you'd ever want to wear them is on the beach or on a boat.

Crocs are so ugly. I don't see why so many people wear them. Not cool at all, this trend needs to die so I don't have to look at them anymore.

Hideous. I hate them as much as the roller-sneakers. Grrr.

I'll throw acid on you if I see you wearing these. Uggs and Crocs make people's feet smell.

I agree with Amanda-La. They were ugly and now they just got uglier! lol!

Beyond tacky.

Crocs are absolutely horrible. They always have been. Uggs are absolutely horrible. They always have been. Now, we combine the two? Wow. I applaud the marketing teams! I would be laughing all the way to the bank if I sold these!

Those are soo ugly but maybe comfy..i dunno

These things are so UGLY!!!!!!!!!

Caterpillar girl - thanks for all that amazing info!

The design is confusing because it doesn't make sense anymore. The whole reason crocks are so well liked with kids is that they slip them on and go and when they get dirty you just hose em down and start all over again the next day. To put fleece in them defeats the purpose.

I don't like crocs, but if you do like crocs (which I swear everyone seems to own a pair but me!) then I'm sure you'd love these. I think they actually look better than regular crocs.

Please, please, please don't wear those fugly shoes.

Not my fave.

They look like slippers with the fleece.

A combo of the two fugliest shoes ever made. Bravo! (Not)

I don't like any of the crocs! I'm glad junior high was a long time ago for me. I probably would have bought them b/c "everyone else is doing it."

Crocs are the best footwear ever invented----for my four year old. Hideous for me! I wouldn't be caught dead in them.

hahaha... NOT CUTE! My 2 year old owns a pair of Mary Jane Crocs. They are cute when they're tiny. They're not for me though. Barf!

Just because something is comfortable doesn't mean it should be worn out of the house! These are the ugliest effing shoes out there!

i never understood the fascination with these shoes and now theyre even uglier

I like a fuzzy shoe, but those are really ugly!

They look like slippers. Guess I'm the only one here that would wear them! But only around the house.
This is from the croc website:
• this strapless slip-on takes a cozy twist on crocs' original designs keeping feet warm and toasty
• super soft synthetic fur lining is both removable and washable for easy care
• false holes on sides nod to crocs' original designs, while keeping feet dry for winter wear
• coordinating sock liner matches shoe while protecting foot from upper holes
• a higher heel gives increased protection from winter weather
• loose fit allows feet to bend and expand naturally, reducing fatigue
• made with croslite™ material

So it seems like the holes are just there so they look like the original crocs.
This summer I wore the Crocs Scutes and I love them. You can check them out here: http://shop.crocs.com/pc-32-4-scutes.aspx?reqid=32&reqProdTypeId=41p&sub...

i hate those things, how can THAT even be considered as an actual foot-wear?

oh god. why are these different than flip flops? flip flops should be banned everywhere! i used to think of these as kinda ugly, but i bought a pair and love them! they are so comfortable to wear at home as slippers! they are just so soft on the bottom of my feet - i think these ones with fuzzy stuff in them would be even better! i like a lot of the newer styles of crocs. the ones i have are the mary jane style without holes. they are great for slipping on to throw out the trash and do some laundry. great for when i am mopping the floors as they are pretty grippy and don't get my feet wet.

as soon as it is warm out you see thousands of Vancouverites wearing all the crocs styles. i love that: people wearing comfy footwear that breathes well rather than flip flops which are so uncomfortable and dangerous for the sake of fashion. laid-back westcoasters...thats what my brother calls us all.

I hate the way crocs too, but I wear them at work. I am embarassed and ashamed, but they are so comfortable and my feet don't hurt at the end of my 10 hour shifts (I stand all day), so even with my shame, I won't give them up.
I also used to think the holes were ridiculous, but when I walk down the hall it is like someone turned on an air conditioner for my toes! So wonderful (and UGLY!)

Haha, they are everyone's two worst nightmare shoes combined.
I personally have nothing against them, but still don't think I'd wear them outside.

My goodness, those are nasty. Crocs are taking over the world!

they got even worse.. I don't understand why they have holes in them? to air out your feet so they don't smell? I see so many people wearing them, it's sick.
