I remember it like it was yesterday. The first time I tried on a pair of Crocs. It was like being hit by a wave of comfort. I didn’t want to stop walking around the store. I was in disbelief. I had been wearing tennis shoes for comfort all my life, but those couldn’t even hold a candle to the amount of comfort I was currently feeling in that pair of Crocs. But, I wasn’t always this open to wearing Crocs.

From the first time I slipped a pair on my feet, I did a complete 180 and fell in love right then and there. I started looking at them, trying them on every where I saw them. But I still didn’t buy a pair, because I couldn’t get over the design and the colors. I was holding back because I knew there was no way I would wear them in public.

There I stood in the shoe store, with a pair of green Crocs on, not sure what to do next. “Walk around,” my friend said. I cruised up and down the aisles. I was almost too proud to admit how right he was. It was like clouds were forming under my feet with each step.I had never felt that kind of comfort. But, as I walked passed a mirror, I was still skeptical about how they looked. Although they were the most comfortable shoes I had ever tried on, I decided to pass on buying them that day because I was still a little turned off by the way they looked.

I still had my doubts about some of the Crocs styles, though. A few of them still had that cumbersome, bulky look to them that I just couldn’t swallow. It was tough trying to convince myself to not judge a book by it’s cover, like I had originally done, even after I had bought a pair of Crocs. And then one day at the mall, while shopping at a high end shoe store, I came across the most beautiful shoe ever.

Still, even though I myself had become a part of the Crocs community, I wasn’t totally sold on them. I still had only seen casual Crocs, and I thought they could never make a pair that would be dressy enough to wear out at night. But then, my thoughts changed when I was at a high end shoe store, and in the distance the most wonderful pair of Crocs caught my eyes. They were dressier than the dress shoes I had at home. I tried on a pair just to see if shoes that nice could still match the comfort of the previous Crocs I had worn, and it did. I was in awe. I wondered just how many different styles of Crocs were out there.

As soon as I got home, I rushed over to the computer to get on the internet and check out www.crocs.com. I was floored. The different styles seemed like they went on forever. There were heels. There were wedges. There were metallics. Shoes that could be worn with dresses, and shoes that could be worn with slacks. I was in my paradise. All I had to do was browse to www.crocs.com, and comfort and style were at my fingertips. Now, when it’s time to go out for the night, I decide on wearing either my Hanalei, Rio, or Postiano’s, and my feet are wrapped in comfort, yet I still am dressed to impress.
