It’s no mystery to the world at large that Uggs are horrible. Horrible, heinous crimes of fashion humanity that inexplicably continue to exist on a seemingly collective delusion that $$$ + comfort + looks horrible = superior quality. And yet, there is another perpetrator of a similar crime in society, a manner of footwear that is equally insidious in its infiltration of human feet and even making headway into various professions as a gold standard for comfort and ridiculous appearance. Of course I could only be referring to Crocs, the plastic-meets-rubber-meets-holes bizarro shoes which, like Uggs, seem to appeal to so many despite looking like a crayola box threw up on one’s feet.
And so the showdown begins.

And so the time has come to decide a ….victor? Which is more offensive: Uggs or Crocs? I hope you can decide, because I pretty much can’t.
Crocks are WAY more offensive. Uggs are frequently worn by hot women, Crocks by snotty nosed rich kids and old dudes too right wing for Birks. Crocks DO have a darwin advantage as I have heard of people getting them stuck in escalators to toe shredding horror/delight.
Crocs. Definitely crocs are the worse.
agreed – the original crocs are like rubberized hell.
crocs can serve a purpose… (washable, lightweight, supportive for on-the-feet jobs). yeah, the original style is ugly, but they make some less-offensive styles as well. i own two pairs!
uggs are worthless and should only be marketed as slippers.
Gotta say the crocs are more offensive. Offensive has nothing to do with utility, since uggs also have the utility of warmth. It’s a close one, though.
Yeah, I’m on the side of Crocs being worse. You can even get away with Uggs not looking TOO bad if you wear them UNDER jeans.
I have to go with a tie. Uggs for the crime that people wear them with skirts and shorts. Crocs for the crime of being worn in public in general.
I’m gonna go against the grain and fall on the side of Uggs, because HAVE YOU EVER SMELLED A PAIR OF WELL-WORN UGGS? My nose is scarred by it.
Oooh…this is a tough one but it’s a debate that is long overdue! Around here, Uggs are the most common offender. I have seen them worn in ways that bring ugly to a whole new level!
Crocs are hands down worse. I mean have you seen them? Both Uggs and Crocs are hideous but crocs are far worse.
Crocs are the enduring atrocity. 500 years from now, when even the most offensive Ugg has biodegraded into a pile of carbon, Crocs will stand in all their original petrochemical glory, proclaiming the douchebaggery of the 21st century to our ancestors.
I guess I’m the only one left who digs a hot chick wearing Uggs and black leggings. You know… the easy type.
Why don’t we get Septimius the Great to weigh in here? He is fashion, after all.
Oh man, that’s a fantastic idea. I might just email him myself
UGG’s cannot be cleaned inside, How can people continue to wear them they stink. People on college campuses love to wear them with track shorts and sweaters, really? Is that your fashion statement?
crocs, couldnt be anything else.
