Recently I was doing some Web browsing and came across crocs.com. I would guess that many of you have seen these or at least heard of them. They may seem boxy in the toe, but these shoes have become one of the most popular and comfortable, shoe lines ever. Several companies offer a similar shoe.
In the past few years their product line has grown. Crocs are now offered in styles for work, play, leisure, sports, So popular have they become that they can be bought in your favorite teams color and logo for football, baseball, and hockey; your favorite racing car personality; and college, volleyball tour, PGA golf, and winter models. Plus, there are models for specific industries like medical, food service – even for the business workplace. Designs and sizes are made for young kids to adults. There’s even fleece-lined model and sandals. Colors range from mild to eye-catching. Models for outdoor wear even come with a more rugged sole.
The Crocs RX Relief model has a shock absorbing sole to relieve stress on feet, knees, hips and lower back; a roomy fore foot provides comfortable fit with no pressure points, relieving plantar fasciitis and heel pain, metatarsalgia, generally achy feet as well as bunions and other foot irregularities. It has an anatomically designed sole and side air portals to keep feet cool and dry.
Can you run in them? Here’s a testimonial from Jason, “Just completed marathon number three in the same pair of trusty blue Crocs. They’re well traveled now with marathons in Melbourne, Australia, Las Vegas, Nevada and now Portland, Oregon. Felt somewhat weird running a marathon through the HQ’s of Nike and Adidas in my Crocs but hey, whatever works! Injury free and ready for Tucson come December 10. With 5 marathons completed, I have now run more of them in my Crocs than in regular shoes! Thanks as always.” There are a host of testimonals at crocs.com – in a variety of subjects. I found it fascinating to read through a few to see how people value their Crocs.
Are Crocs for you? I think you’d be surprised at how comfortable they are. With the huge variety of design, color and purpose, I know you can find a pair for your feet.
I have a feeling that if we could take a survey, we’d find more people wearing Crocs than any other shoe. They must be helping people to have happy feet.
