an uneducated opinion

I need to meet up with my lecturer about my essays. therefore, i am staying in school until the class finish so i can grab him off the podium.

Meanwhile:

Crocs are bad for escalators. Or so it seems. First off, i wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them for many reasons. they are rubber, which means they might get hot over time and cause some minor discomfort or some form of infections on my terribly sensitive feet. even if they don’t, those holes would invite water into them, a big no-no if i am home in singapore.

secondly, to me, those shoes are a definite fashion faux pas. if i am to wear socks in them, i will wear my normal running shoes. if i am to wear with naked feet, then i rather air out my feet in slippers and thongs. wwwhhhyyy would i want to wear them in a pair of rubber shoes that seem to cling to smooth surfaces? or pretend to look like shoes if you wear them under long pants?

but see, that’s just me. in the mean time, let’s look at why else you shouldn’t wear them.

because… especially if you think it looks cute on kids, they are just not feasible. infact, they can cause a lost toe. and since the big toe helps you to balance on your feet… why cause yourself to be a handicap just because it looks, omg, cool? cute? pretty? however, crocs have refuted the claim, insisting that there should be greater escalator safety checks in place.
personally though, since i have definitely taken too many escalators in my life, i really doubt that most of the escalators that were involved in any of these accidents (and including those that you can find just off googling) were caused by faulty escalators or lack of knowledge on how to use escalators. i have worn enough shoes in my life, sans at home, and haven’t gotten involved in an accident with any of them just yet, on the escalator. the one time i slipped on the escalator was because i was stupid and tried to run back up a downward escalator - but all kids do that.
