Hop on a boat, stroll on the beach, or walk to a meeting, CROCS shoes are the most comfortable and versatile shoes you'll ever own. CROCS shoes are a new breed of shoe that mixes the comfort of clogs with a space age material that has incredible benefits. The special Patented Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) warms and softens with your body heat and molds to your feet. The European styling of the orthotic heel, built-in arch support, and tarsal bar position your feet for ultimate foot comfort and health. Because the resin is closed cell, it is anti-microbial in nature. This means that it is resistant to the bacteria and fungus that cause shoe and foot odor. Smelly shoes are a thing of the past! With the heel strap in place, CROCS shoes are a perfect shoe for boating, diving, water sports and beach wear. Unlike sandals, CROCS shoes cover and protect your feet yet provide proper ventilation. Air, sand, and water easily pass through the vents.
It all started when three Boulder, Colorado based founders decided to market an unusual shoe developed and manufactured by Foam Creations, Inc.
Originally intended as a boating/outdoor shoe because of its slip-resistant, non-marking sole. By 2003 Crocs had become a bona-fide phenomenon, universally accepted as an all purpose shoe for comfort and fashion.
From 2003-2004 Crocs focused on accommodating our remarkable growth while maintaining control. We expanded our product line, added warehouses and shipping programs for speedy assembly and delivery, hired a senior management team and acquired Foam Creations. Today, Crocs are available all over the world and on the internet as we continue to significantly expand all aspects of our business.
Despite our rapid success, we still stand behind to the core values of Crocs Footwear. We are committed to making a lightweight, comfortable, slip-resistant, fashionable and functional shoe that can be produced quickly and at an affordable price to our customers. We thank you for your support and look forward to providing you with exciting new Crocs designs in the years to come.
THE PERFECT CROCS FIT.
Crocs should not fit like other shoes:
They should fit very loosely.
The sides of your foot should not really touch the sides of the shoe.
Your toes should never make contact with the front of the shoe.
Once you have centered your foot on the foot-bed:
You should have about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of space in front of your toes, behind your heel and when you lift the strap you should be able to comfortably get your finger between the strap and heel.
In other words the fit should be loose.
I know that this goes against everything that you have ever been used to in a shoe, but these are the parameters that the shoe was designed to be worn under.
No Pressure points Ever!
To insure that the strap is not pulling your foot into the front of the shoe, rotate the strap forward and determine if your foot rests comfortably in the foot bed and there is room all around your foot. If so, you have the proper size but the strap is too short. To alleviate this issue, work your fingers around the strap and stretch it as you go around being careful not to put excessive pressure on the rivet hole. Stretch the strap until it is just short of the back edge of the shoe. The resin material has memory and will stay at the proper length after one or two of these types of adjustments.
