Sandals are a comfortable type of summer shoe that helps out always and everywhere. They are absolutely relevant on the beach, in the city, at home and even at the cottage - in the garden. And if they are also made of light, pliable material, from which the legs do not sweat and do not get tired, then they deserve increased attention. An innovator in the manufacture of comfortable sandals is the American brand Crocs.
history of the company
These unique sandals owe their appearance to three close friends of Colorado who once thought about creating a new type of shoe.
All of them were avid yachtsmen, with views on the invention of universal boat shoes, which would correspond to the following requests:
- strong;
- non-slip;
- lungs;
- comfortable;
- not leaving marks on the deck.
Quite by chance in Canada, friends came across a factory that produced a polymer material — foamed resin, which possessed all the properties of interest. Having bought the rights for its production, the men launched the first trial batch of yachting shoes.
Already in 2002, a company called Crocs was born — shortened from a crocodile, since the first model had a profile of its natural counterpart. Manufacturers of boat shoes made the main emphasis on their convenience and wearing comfort, since they very easily adapted to the foot and did not rub it at all.
After some time, the friends realized how important and cost-effective their sudden discovery was. Having groped for a gold mine, the men bought the Canadian foam resin company itself and began to actively develop in the manufacture of casual shoes. In 2005, Crocs quickly broke into the European market, promoting the freedom and uniqueness of their shoes. And in 2008, it was expected that they settled in Moscow. Today, the brand produces men's, women's and children's shoes, clogs, flip flops, sandals, rubber boots and even sneakers, and are not going to stop there.
Features
Of course, the most important feature and the most important advantage of sandals of this brand is the material from which they are made.
Since the first batch of Crocs women's sandals was emphasized directly on its environmentally friendly origin and ease of use, the manufacturers paid very little attention to the exterior design. Therefore, they are not impressed by modern women.
With the same success it was possible to rank them as unisex models, since they differed from men only in size and color. The more manufacturers watched the demand, the more they understood that creative infusions were needed.
Today in the company stores you can find a wide range of summer shoes from an American company: sandals, sandals, clogs and flip flops for big and small girls and boys. Since men are less fastidious people, their models remained about the same design decision as in the early stages of production, but with some pleasant nuances and additions.
JIBBITZ (jibbits) have become Crocs' own trick - original and vivid decoration pictures, like charms, which are put on and removed from shoes. There are entire thematic collections: smurfs, minions, cars, super-heroes and others.
Crocs sandals feature a comfortable velcro closure, signature lettering, and jibbit holes. They are made of molded foamed resin, which perfectly absorbs and adapts to the human foot.
Reviews
Characteristics of material and design of crocs (as the resourceful Russians call them) are not their main distinguishing feature.Russian consumers know exactly what they need these sandals for.
For example, the Crocs Cleo model, according to customer reviews, has a pleasant non-marking beige-brown color. Comfortably sits on the foot and is securely fixed on it with a strap that can be put on the heel as well as forward, using sandals as a slap. Ideal for exploring the city, parks and playgrounds.
In summer shoes for children, parents appreciate practicality, lightness and convenience. The model of sandals for girls of pink color, according to the comments of advanced mummies, is ideal for the sandy sea coast, practically not killed and have a convenient form for a developing baby foot.
A large number of buyers complain that it is very difficult to find the original crocs in the territory of the Russian Federation, therefore, they are most often ordered from foreign websites. Experienced users recommend paying attention primarily to the price of the goods.
According to reviews, the original product will cost the future owner a decent amount - at least 1,500 rubles for a pair of slaps with two stripes. And if we talk about more complex models: sandals, sandals or clogs, then the price of 2-3 thousand rubles will not be the highest.
