Crocs, Inc. :From Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Crocs, Inc. is a shoe manufacturer founded by entrepreneur George B. Boedecker, Jr. to produce and distribute a plastic 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 Crocs Beach, was unveiled in 2002 at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show, and sold out the 200 pairs produced at that time.

About This Product:Crocs come in a variety of styles. They are usually manufactured in their own facilities in Canada and Mexico, as well as contract manufacturers in Italy, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and China.

The shoes are produced in a wide array of colors depending on the model.


Crocs also sells other fashion accessories.
Jibbitz are decorations which can be clipped to the ventilation holes of the Crocs. These include designs mainly aimed at children featuring Disney characters. The company has also released a line of purses that are also produced in a wide array of colors.

A "Fuzz Collection" with permanently attached woolly liners extend the range into winter wear.

Crocs also recently entered the golf shoe marketplace. Crocs acquired golf shoe manufacturer, Bite Footware and have introduced a croc styled pair of golf shoes, the Crocs Ace.
