Internet Trolls Give Vineyard Vines Founder Shit For Always Wearing Crocs

Vineyard Vines has been a preppy mainstay for years now. That little pink whale is scattered across every college campus in America. It’s for normal Greek folk and try-hards alike. VV button-downs and polos are usually paired with Sperrys or some other type of boat shoe. You won’t typically see them on an hombre wearing Crocs, though.

The co-founder of Vineyard Vines, Shep Murray — he loves him some Crocs. Loves them so much that he has an astounding 30 pairs of them. And just about every time he posts a picture on Vineyard Vines’ Instagram account, you’ll find Shep rocking some Crocs only to subsequently get shit on for his choice of shoes. Business Insider put together a little video of Shep reading some of the mean comments.

“Oh God. Vineyard Vines with Crocs. That guy needs to be fired.” That might be the best comment yet. Just some troll on Instagram trying to shame Shep, not knowing he just said the owner should be fired. When you’re a millionaire, you can wear whatever you damn well please.

    Some high schoolers are really confused right now and debating throwing away their sperrys.

    “Wearing Crocs is like being blown by a dude: it feels great until you look down and realize that you’re gay.”

      Wearing Crocs is like getting a hummer from a dude. It feels great, until you look down and realize that meow you’re gay.

        I thought an article about internet trolls would be a great spot for me to internet troll. I was sorely mistaken. May the gods of TFM and the ghosts of the forums have mercy on my soul.

    While crocs are definitely gay, doing what you want and not caring what others think about it is definitely a TFM

    I’ll say it fuck Vineyard Vines it’s $70 extra for whale logo. Anyone who took basic economics can understand it’s not worth it
