Finding My Croc Shoes

I remember it like it was yesterday. The first time I tried on a pair of Crocs. It was like being hit by a wave of comfort. I didn’t want to stop walking around the store. I was in disbelief. I had been wearing tennis shoes for comfort all my life, but those couldn’t even hold a candle to the amount of comfort I was currently feeling in that pair of Crocs. But, I wasn’t always this open to wearing Crocs.

From the first time I slipped a pair on my feet, I did a complete 180 and fell in love right then and there. I started looking at them, trying them on every where I saw them. But I still didn’t buy a pair, because I couldn’t get over the design and the colors. I was holding back because I knew there was no way I would wear them in public.

Then one day in the sporting goods store, I saw them, the pair that would become my lifeline. Mary Jane style crocs. I searched the display franticly until I found my size, and my color, snapped those babies up and wore them out of the store. My feet have never been happier. These are the most comfortable shoe I have ever been blessed enough to put on. My fallen arches are praising Croc’s glory daily now.

I still had my doubts about some of the Crocs styles, though. A few of them still had that cumbersome, bulky look to them that I just couldn’t swallow. It was tough trying to convince myself to not judge a book by it’s cover, like I had originally done, even after I had bought a pair of Crocs. And then one day at the mall, while shopping at a high end shoe store, I came across the most beautiful shoe ever.

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.
