It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Crocs shoes took the market by storm. They became a sensation straight away as they are lightweight, comfy, slip-resistant, stylish and functional shoes at the same time. The Crocs shoe company was founded by an entrepreneur George B. Boedecker to manufacture ergonomic, antibacterial, and lightweight plastic clogs.
Originally, the clogs were devised by a Canadian company and only then George B. Boedecker was granted the right to produce and sell these shoes. The first model of Crocs shoes - the Crocs Beach- was released in 2002 and unveiled at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. It was a huge success!
Since June 2004 Crocs Company has had exclusive rights to make shoes from foam resin ‘croslite’ (the material that is made using ethylene vinyl acetate) that forms itself to the feet of the wearer, which, according to some podiatrists, contributes to health and helps wearers avoid foot injuries.
However, since the devisal of Crocs shoes a lot of people have become their opponents as they consider these clogs to be more than even hideous. Moreover, Crocs shoes were in the Maxim's top ten worst things to happen to men in the year 2007. There are many blogs dedicated to stop the surge of Crocs shoes, for example, I Hate Crocs dot com, etc. But, no doubt, it is just the matter of taste.
In the year 2007, the company intended to start manufacturing Crocs non-footwear products - sunglasses, knee pads, watches, bags, and luggage, yadda yadda. And since then it has already released a line of good-looking and functional purses that are available in a wide range of colors, as well as croc styled golf shoes - the Crocs Ace. Nowadays, Crocs shoes are manufactured at the factories located in China, Florida, Mexico and Italy. In fact, the company uses some third-party manufacturers.
Crocs shoes are known for their variation in themes and looks, from time to time surprising fans and fashion lovers with the new editions. The outrageous comfort and style that every Crocs shoe gets is unparalleled in other brands. So, don't get left behind - become a Crocs fan today!
