Popular Shoe Brand Offers Apparel
In addition to offering new high-top and slipper footwear models, Crocs has now branched into apparel and accessories such as t-shirts, hats and backpacks. The traditional t-shirts, fitted t-shirts and tank tops are 100% cotton. Designs such as flowers or the Crocs crocodile mascot are offered. Crocs is known for their wide-range of product colors. The traditional-style backpacks as well as the sling-back style are made of honeycomb rip stop nylon. Even rain poncho slickers are shown on the website www.crocs.com.
Will the new Crocs apparel be as popular as their shoes? Time will tell.
Crocs’ roots are in Boulder, Colorado. The founders wanted a boating shoe with a slip-resistant sole. Since 2003, the company has enjoyed the popularity of their creation. Owners say they love them for their comfort and light weight. Despite their unique appearance, Crocs has fans of all ages internationally. Shoes usually cost around $30.

Crocs shoes have almost a cultish following. Owners of the shoes brag about them almost as much as Mac users brag about their computers.
