New from Crocs: Retro, Stylish Crocbands

Can it be? A Croc that's not ugly? The folks at Crocs, Inc., have finally hopped on the style bandwagon with a new collection that's so attractive, it'll fly off the shelves in record numbers.

What are Crocs?

If you've never tried on a pair of Crocs, you need to do so. Slip on the Beach style (the clunky-looking almost ugly clog). They're the most comfortable Croc style offered because the footbed cradles the bottom of your foot like a soft, airy glove. Don't just try them on - walk in them. You'll become a fan in the first few steps. Here's why.

All Crocs shoes are made from a genius, proprietary closed-cell resin material called Croslite. Barring further scientific discussion, Croslite allows Crocs to produce shoes that are, "soft, comfortable, lightweight, superior-gripping, non-marking and odor-resistant."

Why wear Crocs?

Bottom line: they're unbelievably comfortable. The shock-absorbing footbed provides a very comfortable walking experience. You'll swear you're walking on a cloud. Some may say it's an ugly cloud, but they're easily the most comfortable shoes you'll ever wear.

They're very easy to keep clean, which makes them perfect for any activity. From daily chores to gardening to boating, Crocs can handle anything.

They're breathable, thanks to the upper holes.

They're fun to personalize with Jibbitz, decorative little charms are available where Crocs are sold.

What makes new Crocbands so appealing?

Finally, an attractive and stylish Croc! The retro styling of Crocbands is very attractive, timeless and classic. It combines the look of retro sneakers with the ease of a barefoot slip-on. Moreover, that stinky shoe syndrome will be a thing of the past thanks to the odor-resistant characteristic of Croslite.

They'll virtually never get dirty or become stained like conventional retro sneakers. Traditional sneaker materials of canvas and leather eventually become so stained and stinky that they're unwearable after a short period of time.

Did I mention they're attractive?
