Trends in prioritizing convenience in the wardrobe are developing very rapidly. Comfort and lightness are valued. This trend also applies to shoes: there is a wide variety of foot-friendly models available. One of the representatives is Crocs. The trend for them appeared relatively recently, but has already gained popularity in certain circles. In this article we will figure out what they are.
Crocs (from the English crocs) are comfortable, bright shoes made from croslite material. Lightweight, similar in appearance to clogs. They are convenient, provide high comfort, and are harmless to the skin. Due to the presence of perforation, they are considered beneficial to health: due to constant air circulation, sweating is reduced and the “greenhouse effect” is minimized. The name is the name of the company that owns the innovation; it is actually a monopolist in this area.
Story
The development belongs to three friends from Colorado (USA) - sailing enthusiasts.There were no suitable shoes for this sport: they needed very light, comfortable, hygienic, water-permeable and non-marking. They decided to take on the sewing themselves: they found a plant in Canada that produced high-quality polymer material that was suitable for all parameters and started production. The first batch was sold out instantly: not only by yacht lovers, but also by housewives, teenagers, and students. The company name translates as “crocodile”. They now own more than a hundred businesses around the world.
