How Do They Make Crocs?

Because of Crocs unique and colorful design, consumers have to wonder how to make Crocs. Some suggest Crocs are made of plastic; others insist the shoe is made of rubber. Well, the debate can end. Crocs are made of neither material.

Crocs are made of a non-porous resin material, now known as croslite. Crocs are made to be skid resistant and waterproof. Also, the shoe needs to comfortably support the feet. However, since Crocs are initially marketed to boaters and water sports enthusiasts, the biggest problem is how to make Crocs not only water resistant, but also able to repel the water managing to get inside the shoe. Thus, the unique design.

Crocs have holes specifically designed to allow water and sand to pass through the shoe. In addition, the inventors of crocs want a shoe that is easy to keep clean. Because the material is non-porous, neither foot odor nor odors associated with outdoor sports will be absorbed in the shoe.

In bright, fun colors, manufacturers know how to make Crocs appeal to the customer; and appeal they did! First created in Colorado, the shoes took the fashion industry by storm, and Crocs are now sold worldwide.

So, after a day of fishing, the wearer need not worry about fishy smelling shoes. Simply take the shoes, wash them in soap and water, and let them dry. Likewise, if a child likes to find every mud puddle in the neighborhood, do not worry. Unlike other shoes, Crocs will not take a day to dry. Within a few minutes, the shoes are ready to go on the next outdoor adventure.
