Crocs. Information about the brand, sizes, etc.
Crocs is a footwear company founded by American entrepreneur George B. Boedecker, Jr., together with Foam Creations, a company that produces comfortable and safe footwear for workers. Initially, the new shoes were conceived as part of the equipment for marine sports and recreation, which is why the first batch was presented at the Ft. Lauderdale in 2002.
Since the novelty was a success, Crocs bought out all the rights to produce “crocs” from foam material, patenting it under the trade name Croslite. Thanks to a unique technology that gives crocs such qualities as strength, comfort and aesthetics, these shoes have gone far beyond sports and have become in demand by people of various professions and lifestyles who value comfort and free style. Now Crocs Inc. has more than a hundred branches around the world.

Useful information
The original "crocs" have a lot of advantages: they are "breathable", ergonomic, very light, durable and wear-resistant. In addition, these shoes are as easy to care for as possible: they are either washed with soap and water, or (if there are textile elements) they are simply washed in the machine. Of course, fakes do not have such qualities, even if they look completely identical.
How to distinguish the original? Crocs shoes must be packed in a branded bag with logos and equipped with a special hook-shaped hanger. On the sole of the original there is always information about the country of origin, the size of the product, the letter of the article and the brand name, the website address, as well as the inscription "boulder, colorado" - that's right, separated by commas. Fake "crocs" are much rougher and tougher to the touch, their soles are not elastic. If you did not distinguish fake by appearance, then you will recognize it after a few days of wearing it, feeling obvious discomfort from such shoes. You want to wear real Crocs without taking them off. Criticism of their "galosh-like" design is not very appropriate now - the Crocs lineup is already so diverse that you can choose them, if desired, even for an evening dress.
User Reviews
About design and about the brand in general
"Really comfortable shoes, as it turned out. And with the appearance of galoshes, galoshes.
“It's useless to argue: these wide multi-colored slippers with holes and a strap on the heel are the ugliest shoes in the world. Really cool Crocs look only on small children or on girls with a foot size no larger than 36.
“If you think that this is too high a price for this rubber ugliness, just buy yourself Crocs - not a day will pass when you cannot imagine how you used to live without them ...!!!”
About quality and comfort
“We bought a lot of things from crocs, I like the design and lightness of the models, but the leg sweats incredibly in them, although sweat doesn’t break through me even in the sauna. Children's boots (positioned as waterproof) get wet incredibly "
“Excellent summer shoes and boots, the whole family and three children wear them, everyone is happy. In boots, the feet do not freeze even at slightly sub-zero temperatures (we haven’t tried it yet in winter). Very comfortable!"
“I bought myself half-sneakers at the sale, in case bad weather in the summer, and as a result, I spent the entire second half of the summer in them. The foot does not sweat, does not slip, it is very comfortable to walk. Now I wear their boots, terribly satisfied, warm, comfortable to wear, easy to clean, and they look pretty decent.
“I bought the first crocs for my son - they rubbed their legs very much, I bought it elsewhere and the same problem. And they brought us from Italy - a completely different quality!

I have many years of experience as a crocomancer. All members of my family have a pair of Crocs. And I have 2 of them. I share with you the secrets of choosing my models.1. Quality Look at the photos first? Visible difference?
The upper two pairs of crocs have an uneven surface and a visible relief. They are porous. With creases at the fold. Dirt has ingrained into the red, which is difficult to wash off again due to the porosity of the material. The two lower crocs are smooth, there is no relief on the upper surface. The material is more pleasant to the touch. The creases on them look neater. The dirt in them eats in worse and is easier to wash off. Where did such differences in quality come from? The answer lies in these photographs.
2. Features size range.The sizes of Crocs are divided into men's and women's. On any model, both male and female sizes will be indicated on the sole. Male is indicated by the letter M. Female - W.
It is also important that one size of Crocs (US) corresponds to two standard European sizes. For example, W8 fits both 38 and 39 women's foot sizes.
If you still think that it is impossible to combine comfort and fashion, and any long walk must end in fatigue, then this means one thing - there are no Crocs shoes in your wardrobe.
TM Crocs is the brainchild of Crocs Inc, born thanks to the invention by the Canadian company Creations Foam of a unique material - an antibacterial origin called Croslite. Thanks to its properties, Crocs shoes are considered very comfortable and practical by millions of men, women and children around the world. And Crocs covers all possible sizes of feet that can move independently.
Secret of Croslite
Croslite is a small-mesh polymer (whose composition is kept in the strictest confidence) that looks like plastic or rubber. But it has nothing more to do with plastic or rubber. Its structure is millions of microscopic closed cells, each of which is filled with natural resin. Under the influence of body temperature, the resin warms up, softens and causes the shoes to slightly change shape, gently and elastically fitting the foot. But the manufacturer warns: all this will be only if it is chosen correctly! And for this, you must carefully study Crocs before buying, as well as correctly measure the foot. And be sure - in this case, the shoes will fit perfectly on the foot!
Thanks to the lightness of the Croslite material, the weight of the shoe is practically not felt, and no matter what model you choose for yourself and what size Crocs gave you. This feature is highly appreciated by those who have to walk a lot during the day.
But this is not all the advantages of the material. In addition to these qualities, you can add to them its hygiene - Croslite has an antibacterial property, which, together with a well-thought-out ventilation system for the legs, prevents them from sweating and unpleasant odors.
In addition, the Croslite material repels liquid and does not sink in water. It is easy to wash and dries quickly. It is hardly possible to find a more suitable shoe for outdoor activities than Crocs, given the fact that its sole contains special grooves that prevent slipping.
But everyday models, such as shoes and boots, are able to please their owner very much: they do not tear, do not fade, do not get wet, are easy to clean, do not lose their ability to fit the leg even in cool weather. Manufacturers claim that insulated winter models retain heat even in 20-degree frost.
Collections and models Crocs
Crocs manufacturers foresaw that, having appreciated the convenience and enjoying outdoor activities in it, people would want to purchase models for the cold season. Therefore, Crocs has more than 250 models for every season and every taste. And if you estimate the number of sizes that the Crocs size grid contains, you can say with confidence that absolutely everyone will be able to choose shoes for themselves. A strict model, frivolous, plain or colorful - no matter what you choose, in any case it will be light and comfortable shoes. But let's see what the manufacturer offers us.

How to determine your size?
In order to properly purchase shoes, you will need the recommended TM Crocs size grid. Reviews of "croxomaniacs" confirm the correctness of the manufacturer's recommendations for the selection of shoes, which, in turn, read:
- Measure your leg length. The measurement should be taken in the evening. By this time, the legs swell and increase in size.
- For demi-season and winter shoes it is advisable to measure the foot in socks. Since their thickness affects the required shoe size.
- The accuracy of measurements should be up to a millimeter.
- It is necessary to measure both legs, and take the maximum value for the final result.
- When you have a Crocs dimensional grid in front of your eyes (in centimeters or in millimeters - no difference), the manufacturer recommends rounding the result up.
