Crocs

I saw Crocs in the sports shop, thought about it, then they came up on a quilting blog as the most comfortable shoe to wear. I mulled it over a bit, then went and tried a pair on, and fell in love.
To understand fully what a big step this is for me, one must understand that I am really a 'two pairs of shoes' person. I usually have only one pair for summer and one pair for winter.
Alarmingly, as I have lost weight and my shoes have become too big, I now have two pairs of winter boots, a pair of knee boots waiting to be grown into (or should that be shrunk into?), a pair of walking sandals and two pairs of open heeled sandals. Recently I acquired a pair of closed summer shoes and then I fell for these Crocs.
I feel like Imelda Marcos. I now have eight pairs of shoes! Something has to go, but its not going to be my Crocs.
Note also the shocking pink. My new 'lievelingskleur'. (Dutch which translates directly to favourite colour, but to me sounds like 'love colour')
My Crocs are everything they say they are. Comfortable, washable, washable, comfortable and so on. The memory foam really does remember.
Do your feet a favour and get some.

Oh, those just look so yummy that I had to let my feet have peek. (Yes, today has been a long day and my feet are providing me with good company this evening.)
Seriously, they look fabulous. I want some!
Hi Ash
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my crocs - I have a red pair, of course! and a pink pair too. We bought them for sailing, walking on coral beaches etc but I wear mine ALL the time, they are great - enjoy!

oh Ash... They're hot here too. Almost everyone is wearing them LOL.. well, I think so.
I am so impressed you have only eight pairs of shoes.
And while your Crocs are spunky, my new pink mod-flower Birkis are funky!
I have two comments:
1) Boy, do those look silly!
2) Boy, do those look comfortable!
Hey! I found you doing a search for "crocs netherlands"
I'm a Canadian living in Rotterdam and my mother has been RAVING about people wearing these crocs back home.
Did you find them in Holland? if so, where?!
Please email me with the info if you found them here. Thanks!

Hello Ashley,
A friend of mine KNOWS how much I love my spectrum yellow Crocs and sent your site to me so we could share our "happy feet". Especially since I will be in the Netherlands in September seacrhing for museums with sampler collections. Any hints?
Love your site-Nan
