They aren't. The American Podiatric Medical Association awarded Crocs their "Seal of Acceptance" in November of 2007. Regular Crocs are just fine for your feet if used with common sense. (More on this below.) If you have a medical condition that involves your feet, such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, Diabetes, or even Arthritis, there is a special line of Crocs, called CrocsRX, which can help alleviate foot pain, etc. There are currently three models, each designed for different conditions.

Now, about that common sense usage I mentioned. Crocs are neither hiking boots nor running shoes. If you go on a 6-mile walk in the woods, for crying out loud wear hard-soled, closed-toe shoes. Do not complain to me or anyone else about blisters, arch support, etc because you wore what are essentially pimped-out flip-flops on your day hike. Instead, do what many hikers here in Colorado do: stash the lightweight, bacteria-resistant, squishy wonders in your backpack or car and change into them after the trek - your feet will thank you for it. If you go for a run of any duration, wear running shoes. See above about complaints, due to what I consider the sheer idiocy of wearing sandals on a run.

Basically, Crocs are no worse for your feet than rubber or styrofoam flip-flops. While their styling can be bad for your image; opting to wear shoes that are reminicent of something the elderly would wear, i.e. orthopedic shoes, they are certainly better than high-heels. Wear them rationally and appropriately.
