After my favorite "jeans shoes" fell apart, literally and at a social function much to my mortification, I began to wear my Crocs knock-offs that I bought at Dollar General about five years ago.  They are dark purple and look pretty good with jeans and with some dark thick socks.  I decided once and for all to get myself some REAL Crocs.  Well I could have saved myself time and money by just sticking with my cute little DGs.  I could not believe how ugly these Crocs were when I opened the box.  I have a wide foot but these are ridiculously wide.  I have a new-found respect for my DGs now and have brought them in from the front porch where they've been for five years, washed them, and placed them in my closet.
