Let me just start by saying, I love my crocs shoes. I was one of the ones who balked at the shoes, taking forever to even try a pair on, mainly because I thought they were the ugliest shoes I’d ever seen, and those colors, who wore those bright, rubbery shoes?

And then I tried a pair on. I was almost embarrassed at how perfect these shoes were. I spent an entire year of my life mocking these shoes, and after only a few seconds, I was in love with the comfort. I walked around the store, and it was like gliding on air. But, after a look in the mirror, I was still a little bit skeptical, so I put them back on the shelf and decided against purchasing them.

There I stood in the shoe store, with a pair of green Crocs on, not sure what to do next. “Walk around,” my friend said. I cruised up and down the aisles. I was almost too proud to admit how right he was. It was like clouds were forming under my feet with each step.I had never felt that kind of comfort. But, as I walked passed a mirror, I was still skeptical about how they looked. Although they were the most comfortable shoes I had ever tried on, I decided to pass on buying them that day because I was still a little turned off by the way they looked.

I kept up my crocs crusade though. Looking at every pair, still trying to convince myself the original style wasn’t so bulky looking. Then I see it, the holy grail of comfortable shoes, there, in the higher end store, on display was a shoe that was fashionable, trendy looking, and not bulky at all… and to top it off, it was lableed Crocs brand. I tried a few on wondering what other croc styles were out there.

I was almost in disbelief that they were Crocs. It definitely had the comfort all Crocs wearers have come accustomed to, but these were very fashionable. I tried on a few different pairs, and my curiosity began to amount. I wondered just how many other styles of Crocs were there.

As soon as I got home, I rushed over to the computer to get on the internet and check out www.crocs.com. I was floored. The different styles seemed like they went on forever. There were heels. There were wedges. There were metallics. Shoes that could be worn with dresses, and shoes that could be worn with slacks. I was in my paradise. All I had to do was browse to www.crocs.com, and comfort and style were at my fingertips. Now, when it’s time to go out for the night, I decide on wearing either my Hanalei, Rio, or Postiano’s, and my feet are wrapped in comfort, yet I still am dressed to impress.
