Crocs are a brand of shoes that are light weight, soft, comfortable clog style sandals. Crocs are known for their vivid colors and multi-purspose wear. They are the result of 3 Colorado based men’s idea for the perfect boat shoe. Founded in July 2002 under the company Foam Creations, Inc., Crocs have become more than the originally designed boat shoe.
The first Croc style shoe, the Beach, was introduced at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show in November 2002. After the show, the orders started pouring in and Crocs started becoming the next new shoe for comfort and fashion.
Crocs have since expanded the product line with other shoe styles like Cayman, Highland, Metro, and Nile. Future shoes include Georgie, a boot for the rain, and the Athens flip flop. Using the same material that has made the Croc Shoe line so popular, they are expanding the brand into other products like knee pads, sunglasses, and other Crocs branded apparel.
There have been Crocs Spots of famous celebrities wearing Crocs. I have read that Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw have been seen out and about wearing Crocs. If you have any pictures of celebrities wearing Crocs, please let me know and I will post them.

Er…only the ugliest most uncomfortable shows to drop onto this unfortunate planet

Please ignore ‘Insulted by Croc”s message. Yes, the shoes are ugly but the are not uncomfortable. My orthopedic-surgeon said to wear these because they are so comfortable and are like walking on air. Yeah they’re ugly and out-there but if they’re comfortable isn’t it worth it? I think so. I have 4 pairs of crocs.

My reply to the issue of ‘what are crocs and are they hot?’ is a bunch of ‘CROC’! Who cares? Celebrities can wear anything they want and usually the general public not only approve, they are quick to just on the bandwagon of popularity. This fad is no different. Remember when Birchenstocks came out….as ugly as these shoes are, the company made a small fortune selling them even though the “Polls” stated otherwise. We should be focusing on more important issues…like who will be ‘sneaking’ into the white house with or without Crocs. And if it isn’t our voters’ choice….then, that would be the biggest bunch of CROC of all!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

My wife hates these things with a passion, in fact she is embarassed by them.

I was looking at the black one – I think it might have it’s purpose. My wife would kill me if I wore them outside our front gate. LOL!!!

crocs are one of the most comfortable shoes ever made. People who say otherwise are probably just sour graping cause they can’t afford one.
mark April 9, 2008

crocs not so much August 16, 2008
so I bought a pair of alice style and i keep going back to the generic wal mar bright orange foam slipper tennis shoe thing. though I’d never wear them out anywhere except for theh pool, the croc shoe can pass for a normal one since it is black, but I’d never wear them to work. My Dr. Scholl’s are really good for that and are made of leather. My feet got sweaty and smelled weird even after I took a shower and I’ve only been wearing thme in the apartment and to the laundry. I can’t wear them to the river because they’ll slip off. Not going to buy another pair of Crocs, I found airwalks (yes, I know it’s owned by crocs) in a nice sneaker and it is incredibly comfy. I don’t like crocs that much. I don’t consider them to be cmofortable, and that’s it.

Crocs are the best, most cofortable shoes ever! If you ever say that they are not comfortable, you are crazy! I like them becaus of many things. The most important thing is that I love the way they are made. THey come in many different colors. They come in many different kinds.

you can paint a turd all the colors of the rainbow and call it the flavor of the month….but it’s still just a turd. These shoes look like rubber junk for plastic people.

My daughter has had torouble with her feet since she was very little (shi is almost 23 now) and at her place of employment (Starbucks) they are required to wear black, rubber soled shoes ONLY. After trying many different shoes and a great deal of money spent, the ONLY SHOE that didn’t hurt her feet were her Crocks. She would be unable to do her job if it weren’t for her Crocks, and have major health problems if not for them. They are not the prettiest shoes, or stylish shoe, but when a person is on their feet standing and walking for eight hours, and have no foot or back pain because of the shoes they choose to wear….I think that’s wonderful. If comfort is your main reason for wearing a show…( which is the case for the smarter person) there is none better. If you are the type of person that wears a shoe for “looks”, or has a job where you just sit on your butt all day, then you may want a cheap piece of crap shoe. These aren’t them for sure. Neither cheap or uncomfortable.
