Week 9: Blinged Out Crocs

www.crocs.com

Crocs, Inc. is a shoe manufacturer founded by 3 friends - Scott Seamans, Lyndon "Duke" Hanson, and George Boedecker, Jr. - to produce and distribute a foam clog design acquired from a Quebec company called Foam Creations. The shoe had originally been developed as a spa shoe. The first model produced by Crocs, the Beach, was unveiled in 2002 at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show in Florida, and sold out the 200 pairs produced at that time.

Born in Boulder, Colorado as a simple, comfortable boat shoe, today Crocs footwear can be found across the globe and in more than 250 styles for men, women, and children.  With distinct collections, Crocs offers colorful, lightweight comfort for any occasion and every season.

All Crocs shoes are uniquely designed and manufactured using the company's proprietary closed-cell resin, Croslite, a technology that gives each pair of shoes the soft, comfortable, lightweight, non-marking and odor-resistant qualities that Crocs wearers know and love.  Crocs footwear is ideal for casual wear, as well as for professional use and recreational activities.

More than 100 million pairs of Crocs footwear have been sold!
