Crocs®
Yeah, I know, you would never wear them and won’t be caught running through the jungle from a jaguar in them, because ultimately, they are plastic shoes with holes in them. But, Crocs® first arrival onto the world of fashion, they were the cat’s meow to a lot of people. I even own a pair that I use for gardening. But, Crocs® are more than just the random slip on shoe that have even gotten cheap imitation made of them from companies such as Payless. Their imitation brand, called Air Walks go for as little as $10 a pair and come in a varitey of colors just like Crocs® do. But, with you get a popularity of cheap shoe wearers not wanting to pay the Crocs® price.
Crocs® have come along way since Waldies that came out in 2001. There is now all sorts of styles. Themed Crocs®, colorful Crocs® and even Crocs® that have a faux wool lining. They are a mix of clogs and comfort, made of a patented closed-cell resin that is said to be warmed by your feet so they soften and mold to their shape. They are a great shoe for boating or water-wading. The molded material is extremely lightweight, cushy, has a built-in arch support, has anti-slip soles and is anti-microbial. You can get them dirty, then wash them off without any damage.
