Finding My Croc Shoes
Fashion June 30th, 2009Let me just start by saying, I love my crocs shoes. I was one of the ones who balked at the shoes, taking forever to even try a pair on, mainly because I thought they were the ugliest shoes I’d ever seen, and those colors, who wore those bright, rubbery shoes?
And then I tried a pair on. I was almost embarrassed at how perfect these shoes were. I spent an entire year of my life mocking these shoes, and after only a few seconds, I was in love with the comfort. I walked around the store, and it was like gliding on air. But, after a look in the mirror, I was still a little bit skeptical, so I put them back on the shelf and decided against purchasing them.
Then one day in the sporting goods store, I saw them, the pair that would become my lifeline. Mary Jane style crocs. I searched the display franticly until I found my size, and my color, snapped those babies up and wore them out of the store. My feet have never been happier. These are the most comfortable shoe I have ever been blessed enough to put on. My fallen arches are praising Croc’s glory daily now.
I kept up my crocs crusade though. Looking at every pair, still trying to convince myself the original style wasn’t so bulky looking. Then I see it, the holy grail of comfortable shoes, there, in the higher end store, on display was a shoe that was fashionable, trendy looking, and not bulky at all… and to top it off, it was lableed Crocs brand. I tried a few on wondering what other croc styles were out there.
I was almost in disbelief that they were Crocs. It definitely had the comfort all Crocs wearers have come accustomed to, but these were very fashionable. I tried on a few different pairs, and my curiosity began to amount. I wondered just how many other styles of Crocs were there.
When I got home, I walked directly to my computer and went on www.crocs.com. My jaw dropped. There were more Crocs than I could even imagine. There was a style for any taste. They had heels, wedges, metallics. Crocs you could wear with dresses, and Crocs you could wear with dress pants. It was like an endless line of heaven for feet. Now, when it’s time to go out with friends for the night, I no longer have to sacrifice comfort for style. I just put on a pair of my Rio’s, Hanalei’s, or Postiano’s, and I’m ready to go.
