A load of old croc....

I like Crocs! There I've said it and I never thought I would. There must be some part of my brain that resists just following trends and fashions because, as with other things in the past, I resisted the urge to buy some Crocs about four years ago when they first came on the scene. I remember being on holiday in Fowey, Cornwall, at the time and thinking what a great idea they where. A variation on the beech jellies kids always used to wear and sort of laid back and fashionable at the same time. They seemed to capture the very essence of being on a coastal holiday and yet I didn't buy any I suppose because I noticed too many other people had already jumped on the bandwagon and I didn't want ti appear to be copying others. Well this year, mainly due to a wet campsite and having nothing else suitable with me, I thought I'd take the plunge and do you know what they are probably the best pair of casual, dossy shoes I've ever owned. Really comfortable, water proof (well they do let water in the sides but who cares when you're rock pooling or paddling anyway!) they slip on or, when you move the strap around the back, they stay on like sandles, they are so light you hardly notice they're on, they treat your feet nicely with their trade mark "Crosslite" foot bed. In short they are brilliant every day summer footwear. Actually I only mention all this because I notice, quite coincidentally, that Crocs are advertising on, of all places, Tonbridge Blog via google ads. Must be because I mentioned beach holidays and Cornwall and boats and that type of thing in previous posts. I now notice that they have a complete range of clumpy looking shoes, flip flops, boots and sandles just sitting there on their web site waiting for new feet to slide into them! I can feel a second pair coming on....
