Sandals are a convenient type of summer shoes that helps out anytime, anywhere. They are absolutely appropriate on the beach, in the city, at home and even in the country - 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 production of comfortable sandals is the American Crocs brand.
history of the company
These unique sandals owe their appearance to three bosom Colorado friends who once thought about creating a new type of shoe.
All of them were avid sailors with views on the invention of universal boat shoes that would meet the following requirements:
- durable;
- non-slip;
- lungs;
- comfortable;
- no traces on the deck.
Quite by accident in Canada, friends stumbled upon a factory that produced a polymer material - foamed resin, which possessed all their properties of interest. Having bought the rights to its production, the men launched the first test batch of shoes for yachting.
Already in 2002, a company called Crocs was born - short for crocodile, since the first model had the profile of its natural brother. Manufacturers of boat shoes made the main emphasis on their convenience and wearing comfort, since they adapted very easily to the foot and did not rub it at all.
After some time, friends realized how important and cost-effective their sudden discovery was. Feeling a gold mine, the men bought the Canadian company for the production of foamed resin 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, as expected, 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 most important advantage of this brand's sandals is the material from which they are made.
Since the first batch of Crocs women's sandals was focused directly on its environmentally friendly origin and ease of use, manufacturers paid very little attention to the exterior design. Therefore, they did not impress modern women.
With the same success, they could be classified as unisex models, since they differed from men only in size and color. The more manufacturers watched the demand, the more they realized that creative injections were needed.
Today in company stores you can find a wide range of summer shoes from an American company: sandals, sandals, clogs and flip flops for large and small girls and boys. Since men are less picky people, their models remained in about the same design decision as in the early days of production, but with some nice nuances and additions.
JIBBITZ (jibbits) became Crocs's own chip - original and bright pictures-jewelry like charm that is worn on shoes and removed from it. There are whole thematic collections: smurfs, minions, cars, superheroes and others.
Crocs sandals are equipped with a convenient Velcro closure, branded inscription, and jibbit holes. They are made of molded foam resin, which is perfectly cushioned and adapts to the foot of a person.
Reviews
Characteristics of the material and design of Crox (as they are called resourceful Russians) - this is not their main distinguishing feature. Russian consumers know exactly what they need these sandals for.
So, for example, the Crocs Cleo model, according to customer reviews, has a nice, non-marking beige-brown color. It sits comfortably on the foot and is securely fixed on it with a strap that can be worn both on the heel and forward, using sandals as a slap. Ideal for exploring the city, parks and playgrounds.
In summer shoes for children, parents value practicality, lightness and convenience. The model of pink sandals for girls, according to the comments of advanced moms, is ideal for the sandy sea coast, practically not killed and have a convenient shape for a developing baby foot.
A large number of buyers complain that it is very difficult to find original crocuses on the territory of the Russian Federation, therefore they most often order them on foreign sites. Experienced users recommend paying attention, first of all, 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.
