Crocs Footwear is a brand of light, functional shoes designed mainly for beachwear. They have a strap at the back and are available in a wide variety of colors. The shoes became popular in 2006 and are now worn for work, shopping, and play. They are available in sizes for children and adults.
Although first a shortened version of the word crocodiles, the word “crocodiles” is also the name of a brand of shoes. The shoes, made by Crocs Footwear, have nothing to do with the reptile. They are light, functional and modern shoes designed mainly as beachwear.
Crocs became a shoe phenomenon in 2003, and over the next few years, knockoff versions began to flood discount retailers. This style of shoe is usually a brightly colored slip-on with toes that resemble Swiss cheese. The holes are called ports, and most Crocs have them. The shoes have a strap at the back that can be folded up so the shoe can be worn as a slip-on clog or folded down so the shoe is more like a sandal.
The original Crocs are available in a wide variety of colors, although the imitation versions are mainly seen in white, black, pink, brown and green. They are sold in shoe stores around the world and also online. Although the original intent behind Crocs was to create a comfortable, slip-resistant shoe for the beach and boating, they became the most popular style of casual summer footwear in 2006.
Many people do not limit the use of their Crocs to the beach. Mainly because the shoes are so comfortable, people wear them to work, shop and play. The company has also designed therapeutic versions of the shoe for those who stand and walk for much of the day or who struggle with foot and back pain. These specially designed shoes are available on the company’s website.
Crocs, brand name or not, are available in sizes from children to adult. The company makes a variety of affordable styles, including clogs, boots, Mary Janes, and flip-flops. Crocs are designed to be worn by men, women, boys and girls alike. When consumers buy a pair, they keep in mind that they are not designed to fit like other shoes. They are meant to be loose because they are meant to support the foot without applying any pressure.
