Ada apa dengan Crocs?




My very first Crocs sighting would be when I started my teaching gig earlier this year. Most of the students seemed to be wearing bright colourful foam thingy on their feet... There is even one particular kid that wore a bright orange pair that matches his bright orange polo t-shirt and cap. So I thought it was just a new trend for kids...


Then when I went out to shopping malls, I realised that even adults were wearing that foam thingy too! Apakah nama benda itu?

A quick google search had led me to this website. The new haven for comfortable footware.



So what is so great bout the footware? Besides having a wide range of bright colours and designs, Crocs main selling point is its comfortableness. Try slipping your feet into a pair and you'll know what I'm talking about.



After spotting everyone in a Crocs (some of my students even have more than one pair each - yes their teacher takde keje duk checkout what colour of Crocs they are wearing each day.. hehehe...), I thought of getting one for myself. However, even before stepping into the new store in Ikano, I know I wouldn't be able to carry it off due to my flat feet. Kaki dah lar flat, perasan nak pakai bulky shoes plak... Memang nampak macam clown lar kan.


Of all the different styles that were on display in the store, I could only fit perfectly into this pair... Though it looks like any other sandal a.k.a selipar Jepun, it is super comfortable I tell youuuuu... I bet if pakai and jalan satu KL pun tak sakit kaki... hehehe.. ok I'm exaggerating there...



Mr Judge bought himself this pair after spotting a little kid during lunch that wore an identical mini version of it. Comel giler... (I'm referring to the kid k...).



So, what's your take on this new craze? You like....?

My mak has pirated pink and dad has pirated black. i'm eyeing this pirated beige with bunga-bungaan. lawa wooo. And of course, i want to wait for my adoptive friends to buy me the ori waaaaaaaannnnn :D

My take? If you have sweaty feet like mine, don't even attempt! After a few minutes wearing them Crocs, you'll get the "nyit-nyit" sound(bunyi-macam-selipar-jepun-bata-pakai-dlm-bilik-air)due to the friction between your feet and the crocs. You're gonna need some socks to go with them to prevent the "nyit-nyit".

been thinking of getting those mary jane (but the colours sux)ones but they don have that in SA. crocs been here a lot longer than msia but satu dua jenis je (they don have the boutique here). boring gila! alamak, i have sweaty feet...nyit-nyit...

as a friend had bought and tested the croc-like-asadi, he said that it is worth a try, he is very comfortable with them and is recommending it to me, so maybe I'll get one too...

btw, HOLA!

I've got the *nyit-nyit* problem too! & it doesn't just happen with Crocs. Been thinking of getting the selipar Jepun type...but no budget at the moment! =( Izso had a post abt Crocs too and he got the black pair with the red band that you've put as your last pic!

Okie, after reading everyone elses comments, mine will sound like a Sour Grape...So, you blog about a Croc? (hahaha..it rhymes!) hmmm...to me I think it is a bit overrated...too expensive la...yeah, it is comfy, but U.G.L.Y! Sowie everyone...jgn lah marah kat moi! Just my opinion...I'd rather spend that kind of money on an ALDO wedge shoe anytime!

ninjamoo:

u have the 'nyit-nyit' syndrome too eh? hehehe.. try it with a pair of socks dear.. that should take care of that prob.

;)


naddy:
