Dear, sweet Crocs,

I really don't understand why you get so much hate, Crocs. You're comfortable, practical and stylish. You come in a variety of colors — black, grey, bright green, yellow — to match your owner's personality and personal style. You even come with different patterns and with cool accessories to really jazz you up to your owner's content. Rhinestones, letters to spell out your name, cool animals or anything you want in all kinds of shapes and sizes to really make your Crocs pop. You're lightweight and very washable for those muddy days. Truly, you are a very sensible and reliable shoe.

You even have two modes.

Walking mode:

For any casual day wear or light activity that you may be doing.

Or:

Adventure mode:

For your more outgoing side that may be hiking or gardening for the day and in need of the strap to make sure your wild adventures don't tempt your Croc into falling off.

Crocs, I really admire how durable you are. Both as a shoe and to the comments of the haters. No, you're not ugly, you're not just for old women. No, you are not gross or any other negative word used to describe you. You wash the haters off your waterproof and obviously hater-proof plastic exterior.

I also believe that you inspire a very liberating fashion, a very "this is real, this is me" mentality.

Well, hide no more, Croc wearers — if you want to wear them with socks, be bold, go right ahead. If you want to purchase fur-lined Crocs because you just can't leave your Crocs behind in the winter, go for it. Anything Croc-related that your heart desires is inspiring both to me and your Crocs.

Crocs, don't let the haters get you down. We love you. Just the way you are. Please never change.

Love,

Crocs enthusiasts everywhere.
