Susan Says: Outside-the-Box Crocs

Crocs has come out with a new line of shoes and they aren't even kissin' cousins to the original styles for fun, fashion and comfort.

Crocs shoes are made of their trademark known as Croslite which is a proprietary material, not plastic nor rubber.  Croslite is anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor.  The material can be cleaned with plain soap and water and the footbed has nubs which creates a massage-like feel.

I was most impressed by the Carliana Peep Toe Ombre flat, which is color blocked from heel to toe:

I also liked the Sexi Aliana sandal which is a t-strap inspired by Italian gladiator styling:  

And check out the Cyprus II which is a wedge style with a 3 1/2 inch heel with t-strap design:

The Sammilee has a croc footbed but is made of snake embossed leather:

 

The Amstera, which has 2 3/4 inch heel, is available in nude with a leather upper and crocs insole:

Another great thing to know is that, when you are ready for a new pair of Crocs, you can donate your old ones!   Crocs, Inc. and Soles4Souls have developed a program whereby your lightly worn Crocs can be re-conditioned and re-donated to people who are in need of shoes in impoverished nations around the world.  Three millions pairs of shoes (and counting!) have been donated so far.  Participate by mailing your Crocs to Soles4Souls, 315 Airport Road, Roanoke, Al  36274.   You can visit www.soles4soulsfundraising.org/crocscares to learn more about helping this drive.
