who in their right mind would wear shoes like this? I don't know about your neck of the woods but round here, everyone is wearing them. There are currently 3313 for sale in the footwear section of ebay. I honestly don't think you could design an uglier piece of footwear if you tried... In years to come people will look back at old photos or see them collecting dust in a charity shop and say "oh, do you remember when we used to wear those things, weren't they hideous" (or it'll be on "I love the noughties" on Channel 4 in 2020). They're called crocs by the way (which is probably an elaborate joke by an australian - I know my Home and Away vernacular à la Alf Stewart)
