Crocs Comeback
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Crocs "prima" shoe, $24.95 at amazon.com
So the folks at Crocs, makers of those perforated plastic shoes, have finally acknowledged the aesthetic shortcomings of the popular footwear.
Recent advertisements promoting new styles including flip-flops and ballet slippers use the tagline “More beauty. Less beast.” The rebirth is just in time for what seems to be a revival of the 80’s plastic shoe mania.
But this time, there are designer versions like the $155 flip-flop in translucent green by Marc Jacobs. Or the $80 jeweled ankle strap shoe by Betsey Johnson.
Would you pay $100 for plastic shoes? Is this a trend worth exploring (again!!) or will it only lead to sweaty feet?
