And it seems that the entire of the Eastern Suburbs feels the same...or at least the upmarket Westfields Bondi Junction does! WBJ is the only Mall in Sydney's affluent east and is home to slick flagship stores for world luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Bally, Hugo Boss...hell, they even have valet parking and people to carry your shopping for you.
So it's no wonder they have taken a stance against the humble Croc. Well, at least that's how I've interpreted it.
This is the sign on the escalator:
And a close up...just in case you really can't believe your eyes:
What does that mean?! Caution!! Caution what...caution these shoes are hideous the rich and fancy may faint? Caution you'll be thrown out, dont make me tell you twice? Caution we don't like your type around here? Caution, how dare you be comfortable and highly unstylish?
Too funny.
If anyone knows what it really means, please tell me! I can't work out if it's not safe to wear Crocs on the escalator, or if by some freak chance the new universal symbol for shoe is a Croc.

I believe that the "grip" on the bottom
of the crocs is unfortunately exactly the same width as the rails on the escalator ..... 6mm is the industry standard thus making the wearing if crocs potentially hazardas for escalator travel.... But I also suspect it is the style police waving there heavy hand against people from the west who do not understand "the rules"
I however do not by any means condone such behaviour and am appalled at the use of a "saftey" sign for such purposes

Very informative! But I agree...it's a thin veil for the WBJ style police.
