Confession

I have thought long and hard over whether I want to share this aspect of my private life with the internet at large. Whether I'm going to expose this ugly truth about myself to the judging eyes of millions. But since I've already shared other, more dangerous secrets, I might as well take the plunge. I hope you won't think worse of me for it.
I wear Crocs.
Yes, I just admitted to owning the dorkiest shoes since the invention of foot coverings. The one-piece plastic foam clogs. The industry standard for lack of taste. The shoes that are used to represent the fall of society's intellectual and aesthetic standards in Idiocracy. Mine are lime green.
It's not that I don't own and appreciate shoes. I do. I have shoes ranging from strappy sandals to snow boots. Sometimes I coordinate entire outfits around my shoes. I have spent ludicrous amounts of money on soft leather boots with tiny little pockets on the sides. And one day I will own a pair of knee high boots just like Flare's. So why have I surrendered myself to the nadir of footwear?
Because they're waterproof. There is nothing I hate more than squelchy shoes, and I have discovered the hard way that my shoes take a long, long time to dry out after I've used my superpowers. Sandals get slippery, rubber boots get full, and leather boots get hours of loving conditioning and heartfelt apologies after a soaking. Crocs get squeaky. That's it. And since I have not committed the cardinal sartorial sin of wearing Crocs with socks, all I need to do after an afternoon of cryogenesis is just towel them off and put them back on.
As much as I don't want to be the superhero who runs around in Crocs, I can't see a better solution. Crocs supply pretty much everything I need in footwear while I'm using my powers. Decent traction, impervious to damage by soaking, repels water (and ice), easy to care for, drains water instead of collecting it like little foot-shaped buckets. I'm weighing the prospect of universal mockery against the prospect of sensible shoes. It wouldn't be the most gaudy costume to ever come out of Florida...
