By Claire Burke · Tuesday, Sept. 25,2007 9:15 p.m.

A fashion trend that I will never understand is the public’s fascination with Crocs. The idea of foam resin clogs that look like a clown shoes has never been appealing to me. I don’t care how comfortable they are supposed to be, I cannot accept them as a legitimate form of footwear.
