What happened

When I say I hate Crocs, I mean I despise them as much as the French despise flip-flops — and if you didn’t know, they detest them.

Why it matters

As a product tester and style writer at the New York Post for over 2 years, I evaluate materials, test fabrics and offer style recommendations.

Common ground

When I first began, I never envisioned myself trying to convince you to get a pair of Crocs.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Bandwagon, Exaggeration / Hyperbole: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
