Crocs Shoes That No Longer Look Like Crocs

When my daughter was young she wanted a pair of Crocs for Christmas. Looking them up online, I thought they were the ugliest shoes I'd seen in a long time and didn't think they were worth $35 for a pair of plastic shoes. But, being the good mom I am, I bought her several pairs. I bought her the kind with holes, a solid pair and a pair of flip-flops. I found the cute Jibbitz that go in the holes as well. They're a cute way to accessorize children's Crocs.

My daughter didn't wear them as much as I would have liked for the money I paid, so I found myself trying them on. Luckily, my daughter had already assumed her adult women feet so that we were close enough in size. It was one particularly wet day when I opted to put them on instead of wearing my nice tennis shoes. I thought with the Crocs, I could simply hose them off if they got muddy.

I found them to be extremely comfortable and caught myself wearing them every time it rained. Unfortunately, we don't have that many rainy days in Texas and I begin to find myself wearing them more and more when it wasn't raining.

I'm still not crazy about the style of them, but I can't let go of how comfortable they are. So, part of me feels guilty for wearing a clunky ugly shoe, yet part of me enjoys the comfort.

Today, I stumbled upon Pgrundy's hub about Crocs called "Don't Feed the Crocs". As I read her hub and the comments that followed I realized that I shouldn't be ashamed of enjoying the comfort. Someone's comment about Crocs making a Mary Jane Croc made me want to look to see what other styles they had. You can tell in my comments on her hub exactly when I stumbled upon a new style I hadn't seen before. I found the Olivia. As I began to do more research, I found so many other cute styles they now have. So many, that I felt this discovery now needed it's own hub.

Lena Crocs are a really dressy heeled shoe. It is the shoe featured in the box below. I wouldn't have any problems wearing this shoe with just about anything. It comes in three colors:

When most people think of Crocs, they picture the style called "Cayman". It's the clog type shoe with holes and a strap that flips around to the top letting you use it like a slide. But, there are so many new styles you must see. These are just a few of the newer ones that I found:
