Crocs Were My Karma, What's Yours?

I've had a few favorite shoes before, starting with Birkenstocks (Hey! just as ugly as Crocs, not as comfortable), Chaco's (fabulous, but got tired of the breaking in period), Dansko's (felt completely disconnected from the ground with these) and Merrel's (okay for a while, but soon wear out).

The first time I saw Crocs I was standing in the line-from-hell in Cancun, Mexico. The six hour line through customs was inching along when I saw this entire family in Crocs...bright, over-the-top colors, almost-rude shoes. I had quite a few judgmental thoughts about those ugly looking shoes.

I should have known better. When I harshly judge someone else, the karma gods smite me. Sure enough, a month later I had my first pair of Crocs. I never looked back.

Crocs are fantastic for all kinds of physical problems including arthritis, multiple schlerosis, heel spurs, back pain, diabetes, pregnancy, leg pain from standing on concrete all day and many more. The website has oodles of testimonials.

And Croc is an amazing company for their commitment in giving back through several different programs.

So here's your chance to top the Croc...if you dare. Oh, and when spouting off about your favorite shoe, don't forget to mention what they've done for the planet lately (like Croc recycling 1,000,000 plus shoes).

Well, funny you should have this duel lens as my hubby just today said something about my baby pink Crocs Prima shoes. 'Don't you need shoes with better support?' Perhaps, but I love my Primas and have them in almost every color available! Cool debate. How many other shoes can you turn a hose on???

Ener-G says:

I can do everything in my crocs, including working out in the gym.

Are you kiddin' me? My favorite shoe is...

spirituality says:

Some of these crocs look great - but my favorite shoe is a Dutch design they are lnts.nl and their shoes always fit me perfectly.

OhMe says:

My favorite shoes are my moccasins but I had rather go barefoot.

sbaokay says:

I am yet to get a pair of these. I don't think they are particularly attractive but I have tried on a pair and they are comfortable. My favorite walking shoes are the ARA sandles. I buy a new pair whenever I go overseas because I know they will last the distance and be comfortable at the same time.

Ener-G says:

I finally broke down and bought a different shoe...I just couldn't wear my Crocs to a wedding. I found a fantastic brand that were cute and comfortable called J-41. Their logo is Adventure On!

So You Think You Know All About Crocs? 

These shoes and this company is awesome

Most people think Crocs are just one model (the one on my feet above). There are 89 models of Crocs for men, women and children.

Should I say that again...89!

There are Crocs for winter, sandle Crocs, Disney Crocs, Crocs with heals, Crocs with leather or canvas, Crocs for adventure trekking, Crocs as formal work attire, Crocs in camoflauge, Crocs for golf, and the list goes one and on.

And did you know that Croc shoes are lightweight, ergonomic, anti microbial, odor resistant and recyclable?

To see all these stunning models, check out the official Croc Site .

Mine went to India, how about yours?

I can only show so many photos of shoes...before I go bonkers. Besides, as fabulous as Crocs are they are not going to make hearts go pitter patter for their beauty. What is beautiful are the stories that people tell when wearing them.

The tribute to Steve Irwin was cute! I love my Crocs (but I live in Denver where they come from).
Good debate - I've tried some new ones that I really like called Air way or Air something - very similar - more expensive - a little more support. Nice lens - I'm sure you'll be joining the ranks of Giand Squid!

I just bought a pair of leopard print Malindi Crocs -- they were a special brand made for Dillards here in Florida. I've written to the company to suggest they add leopard/animal print to their other Crocs. Love my Primas!

No Crocs for me either. I would probably trip all over myself. Great idea for a lens, though. 5*

No Crocs for me. My feet are a HUGE 9 1/2. Way too big for these "clown shoes." I don't want to draw even more attention to my feet!
