I brought a pair of black Crocs with me to London, and I haven’t worn them once. While they are rivaling flip flops as the standard casual footwear in my corner of the world, the Brits appear to eschew them. The only Crocs I’ve seen on the street have been on children and German tourists. Darn. I find them incredibly comfortable and versatile, and I’ve seen a lot of cute sandal and slipper-type variations of the original style. They even have a style with medium-high heels! How cute is that? And all those colors! I wonder, how environmentally friendly are they?
Update: Just found a pair of these on sale at Von Maur in Columbus. Hooray!

I would SO be making a statement by wearing one of my many pairs of Crocs every darn day in London. Probably because that’s just about all I wear here. Supposing I ever got to go to London.
I wouldn’t even mind being mistaken for a German tourist.

I suppose I should have been braver, but I didn’t want to wander around with “TOURIST” written all over me. I like to blend. (And I had other comfortable shoes.)
My Crocs will be the first thing I put on when I get home!
