Croc Sandals

[patrick]

Folks, if you are thinking of getting a pair of Crocs, try to get it from Penang. I know one shop there where you can get 15% discount. Of course genuine lah! But sorry I cant publish his name here otherwise he may lose his dealership.

So if you should decide to get any Croc, pm me for contact. Best is to call up first and check if they carry the model, size and colour you want. If he doesnt, you can ask him to get the stock ready for you.

Happy Crocking!!

I just read about this sandal yesterday on the paper. Patrick, have you owned one alreday ? any feedback ?

[sinleong]

there are many imitation ones... and they look and feel almost the same...

The first time I saw the "Croc" Sandals was a few years back at a Food & Hotel Show. I was thinking to myself, smart guys it was a good replacement for the "clogs" that were used by the chefs in the kitchens. It was only available in 2 colours at that time if I am not mistaken.

Then somehow it took the market by storm and now Tom, Dick and Harriet wants a pair to walk on the streets with. Especially the children.

Now, whenever I see someone walking around in a pair, original or otherwise, I would wonder if they were in the food service business.

what attracted me in the paper's description was such : the sole made of resin is able to transform with the foot temperature to map the foot contour of the wearer.. is this true ?

[AllUrban]

My chiropractor (Back in Motion, at PJS10) recommends them (and sells them) for a few reasons...

-conforms to the foot for better support of spine
-light
-resin is antibacterial and therefore, odourless
-easy to clean
-solid and reliable

Dont own a "croc". But tried on them at the store. It is damn light. It feels like you are wearing nothing. Even the imitation ones feels just the same.

Patrick, are u talking about this crocs product? Looked very fashionable.. My mum just got a pair from Penang. Not sure it's imitation but it sure very light & helped her..

[orchipalar]

Err...those that we used to wear with wooden sole in the old days..."khek" in canton...is that similar?

there is a report this croc sandals can sometimes stuck on the elevators in the complex and pose a danger to the users especially the children ,they may fall.Tell me i am wrong.

If immitations are quite similar then why buy the ridiculously expensive "genuine" ones? Maybe you can get genuine immitation ones from Bangkok!!

[birdy]

So, anyone can share how to differentiate the genuine from the immitation? As usual lar...everything has the shadow ... so, the immitation is just like the shadow of genuine.

Yes, it happened in Singapore and was reported in the newspapers.

Yeah, I bought 4 pairs of Croc (for my wife, 2 children and myself) from Bangkok last year. It is very durable and comfortable. Good for shopping and walking.

Not sure which aspects of feedback you are looking for. The main reason I bought the croc is the selling point on "antibacterial and therefore, odourless". I have nasty sweat such that if I sweat in socks, bare feet its ok. But if I sweat in sandals etc, it stinks! Even I find it repulsive. As such, I wear socks most of the time. But sometimes I like to be really casual and yet not repulsive. Hence I tried the Crocs. And it works!! So far...so good! I still sweat but no odour! What do you know!!
