Crocs: My wife eats her words
September 7, 2006
I know this will not happen often, but my wife said today, "Yes, I’m eating my words." It was glorious. Today was a day of joy and much glee when my wife, Sarah Walker Cleaveland, walked out of a shoe store in Missoula, MT and slipped into a pair of light blue CROCS. Now some may wonder what the big deal was. Well, when I bought my bright red Crocs last summer, Sarah continually remarked on how ridiculous they were, how they looked like clown shoes, and how I was NOT to wear them around her. It prompted this post. I thought I had lost my first battle…
For those of you who read Dooce’s blog, you’ll notice that she and her husband had a similar struggle over Crocs (and clogs in general), documented here, here, here and here.
Well, this post is meant to encourage all Croc-owners who may be engaged in a battle over the Crocs. Keep the faith. Have hope. For one day, all will see the light.

i LOVE mine and have been living in croc flip flops all summer! Both are EXTREMELY comfortable, espcecially since i had back surgery 2 years ago they are really supportive for my back!

Adam…you are becoming a wise man…and Sarah is becoming a wise woman. :) Intriguing will be the “battles” won (and “lost”) in marriage…if one but waits patiently…and as you say, keeping the faith, having hope, and “the other” seeing the light. I am concerned, however, you have red Crocs. She has blue Crocs. Will white ones soon follow in this weird and wired political season? What are you subliminally trying to tell us?

SO glad you two got a chance to be in Glacier - it is truly one of my favorite places on earth.
also SO glad to see sarah in those baby blue beauties - i know that you revelled that just a little bit (and maybe even a bit more on the inside!). hope you are well…

I bought a pair of dark blue crocs last year which was sort of based on your post. They are so light and comfortable and you can wear them all year long.
