Crocs are making a comeback.  With every color imaginable and comfort throughout, these stylish waterproof clogs are a big trend.

You might remember these as shoes you wore when you were a kid.  They were stylish and could be worn with just about anything, and Newsflash: they still can be.

They were first produced as boating shoes in 2002.  By 2004, Crocs were cashing in the big bills.

The shoes appeal to all ages and you can accessorize however you like.

Fords Foot and Ankle Care website lists some of the pros of the shoe.  One point they make is that they provide extreme comfort and support for feet, ankles, and the back.  Another pro is that the holes make the shoe breathable and helpful when airing out your feet.

Some other facts that the site included was that the shoes are light weight and very easy to clean.  With Crocs being water-proof, you can throw them into the sink and go about washing away the impurities instead of dragging germs and dirt into your homes.  They are also easy to slide on and take off.  With these shoes, there will be no more lugging around heavy shoes, no more having trouble putting on shoes, or throwing a fit when cleaning them.

Another wonderful feature Crocs have as is that the soles of the shoes are “no slip.” According to the article, “The Croc Epidemic” by Meghan O’Rourke, this safety feature exemplifies another great element of the shoe.

Crocs are also earth-friendly and appeal to vegans.  They are made from the material Croslite.  Croslite is responsible for the massive cushioning of the shoe.  And to be clear Croslite is not EVA foam, rubber, or latex.

It is 2018 and the Croc company has grown over many years and expanded as a whole. While Crocs may have started out as specifically shoes to wear in warm weather, they can now come in many different styles.  For example, they have produced clogs lined with faux fur to wear in the winter or when it is simply chilly.  This makes Crocs a four-seasonal brand.

There is no doubt that the public is definitely split on the idea of Crocs.  Crocs deserve more credit for being simple, comfortable, and hands down stylish.  They incorporate all of the elements of good quality shoes.  Crocs are the shoes to have, anyone who disagrees are full of Croc!
