Manolo says, here is the long article about how popular the Croc have become, for as we all know if something it is very popular it must be very good.

“There’s no doubt that they are very, very hot right now,” said Michael Wood, vice president of the marketing firm Teenage Research Unlimited. “The key to it is they’re comfortable, they’re practical and they’re fun … and they’re also affordable so you can buy into the trend without making a big investment.”

Jen Mosher of Tuscaloosa, Ala., said she got her first pair of Crocs for Christmas in 2002.

“I stuck them on to wear for slippers and haven’t taken them off since,” said Mosher, 39, a University of Alabama microbiology graduate student who’s often on her feet in a lab.

She now has the original Crocs in nine colors dark blue, royal blue, yellow, orange, red, purple, green, black and the tan ones she wears as dress shoes.

She cleans them by throwing them in the dishwasher.

It has now become clear, that despite the best efforts of the Manolo once again, the nation it is sinking into the slough of bad shoes, and just when the curse of the Uggs had abated.

The Manolo must reiterate this point, that the Crocs they are suitable only if you are less than 10 years of the age, the point at which the vividly colorful plastic things are cute.

If you are taller than these girls, the Crocs they should be avoided.
