Crocs bring back precious memories of middle school, a time when brightly colored plastic shoes filled the halls. Now people consider them to be atrocious with cruel commentary towards those who still bravely embrace the comfy rubber shoe. I, for one, still proudly wear my pink Crocs and gleefully embrace all others who sport their jibbitz-blingin’ footwear. Here are five reasons that Crocs were, and ever shall be, the best shoes ever.
1. They’re versatile AF
I’m serious here people. It doesn’t matter if you are a 46-year-old man who enjoys hunting or if you are a 13-year-old girl who is getting ready to go on your first date, there is a pair of Crocs for you. It can go with any outfit and match any personality, guarantee you no other shoe brand can boost the same level of versatility.
2. Never going out of style
These bad boys have been around for years (since 2002 to be exact, they’re practically ancient). I’ve been rocking the same Crocs for eight years and have never let me down. My light pink Crocs were there in my middle school braces phase, my softball career, pre-prom errands, and even moving in to my college dorm. The rubber they are made out of is durable and the color and style options make the possibilities endless.
3. Easy to clean
Here is a horror story in six words, “New shoes then mud happened, ruined.” Don’t worry if you teared up, it happens to the best of us. Now buckle up for some amazing news (it’s about to get crazy)…Crocs are washable. There I said it. These bad boys can be bleached, wiped down, thrown in the dishwasher (I swear Mom’s do the weirdest shit sometimes, but hey it works), and hosed down outside. Staining your precious new shoes is no longer a fear with this fabulous footwear. From the beach to the mud to plush carpet of your home Crocs will be ready for any adventure.
4. So. Many. Options.
Have you ever walked past the brightly lit Croc store or gazed upon the online selections? There is a pair for every occasion and every style. I’m pretty sure the Dr. Seuss book “Red fish, blue fish” was actually written while he pondered the numerous possibilities of Crocs. There are heeled Crocs, baby Crocs, no-hole Crocs, furry Crocs, Croc sandals, boot Crocs…seriously these people are money making geniuses. Next time you can’t find the perfect shoe to match your new outfit, consider buying a pair of Crocs; it’s life changing.
5. #Comfy
Don’t knock ‘em until you try ‘em. Honestly I could just leave that there and be done with this point, but the adoring public deserves so much more. Close your eyes and imagine with me (well don’t actually close them because then you can’t read this and won’t be able to picture anything remotely close to what I’m trying to describe, but you get the idea). You are gliding across the ground, with little clouds made of fairy dust and happy thoughts strapped to your feet; nothing can go wrong today, not today, because you are wearing your Crocs. These beautiful rubber clogs keep your feet fresh and young with no sign of fatigue in the future. You’ve been dreaming of a time when you could beat that stupid coworker of yours on Fitbit without having to ice your feet at the end of the day and here it finally is…glorious and majestic.
My mom always told me to find something I’m passionate about; I guess it just happens to be Crocs. Go buy a pair and join the movement, Croc-wearers are officially the “in-crowd”.
