Crocs Rock!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I am on my feet a lot during the day and have to have comfortable shoes. I don't really care what they look like either! When I first came across crocs it was on the feet of a close friend. I thought they looked interesting, not gorgeous just interesting. She followed my gaze and told me they were the most comfortable shoes she had ever worn. As we have the same size feet she tossed me one to try on. It felt like heaven and I knew I would have to buy a pair! Crocs, for those of you who don't know, are made of very lightweight rubber. They are a bit like a clog with holes around the sides and on the front. The footed has raised rubber bits in a footshape. The sole and shoe are moulded as one. The sole is ridged to make it non-slip. Crocs come in a huge range of colours including pink, blue, green and yellow to name a few. I usually...

Ronald's Crocs!

Advantages: very light and comfortable
Disadvantages: look massive

...Everyone of us have their own impression on each item that we intend to buy. With crocs cayman shoes, I was'nt very convince of getting a pair of this shoes because I don't really like the style and design, it looks huge. I actually remember Ronald Mcdonald's shoes! But besides of that, I saw a lot of people wearing them including big time celebrities! I quite wonder what does it have to make everyone crazy enough to buy them and look silly afterwards. On the otherhand, I think they look great for children but not for adult! As I continue critisizing crocs, my very close friend got a pair and have told me that it's the most comfortable shoes she ever had. She prefered wearing them when she's out and doing her favourite weekend shopping in a car boot sale. Crocs never let her down! But still i'm not convinced. THE ENCOUNTER...

Crocs for your feet?

Advantages: Lightweight, comfortable, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Look a bit strange on your feet

...I find it absolutely fascinating that a shoe can become a worldwide phenomenon in a matter of just a few years but it would seem that is exactly what has happened with Crocs shoes. I was curious to find out more about why that should be so I did a bit of research, ended up buying a pair, and now want to tell everyone what I discovered along the way. Originally, Crocs Shoes were designed with the intention of creating a boating/outdoor shoe which had a slip-resistant, non-marking sole. Three guys from Colorado developed the Crocs shoe and by 2003, Crocs Footwear had become something of a phenomenon, seemingly accepted as an all purpose shoe for comfort and fashion(?). As demand for the shoe grew they expanded the product line, added warehouses and shipping programs for speedy assembly and delivery. Today, Crocs Shoes are...

The Other Athens

Advantages: fun, charming and diverting city with plenty of interesting things to see and do; great variety of bars and restaurants
Disadvantages: has some shonky areas, may bring you to spend more than you'd like

...The city of Athens, Georgia, USA, is one of those eclectic university towns scattered all the way across the country. If you're an American and a seasoned college student, you know all about what that means - an infinite variety of bars, pubs, theatres and crack houses. And, of course, a vast number of students to take advantage of whichever of these vices may take their fancy. In this particular case, it's the enormous campus of the University of Georgia which has set up shop in this interesting town. Athens is about 70 miles from Atlanta, anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half drive depending on various things - the traffic, whether there is a thunderstorm present, or if someone has managed to cark it somewhere along the road and has thus blocked it in some manner. Once you're out of the suburban and ugly sprawl of Atlanta you...

Review of Athens

Are you ready for Mr Croc?

Advantages: Bright illustrations, simple fun text, interactive features
Disadvantages: Tabs and pop-ups can be fragile

...Mr Croc is a bright, lovable and mischievous crocodile who features in a series of children's stories written by Jo Lodge. This was the story that originally introduced my two year old son to the delights of Mr Croc and we have since gone on to read and enjoy several others in the series. 'Ready or Not, Mr Croc' follows Mr Croc as he is getting dressed, giving the author the opportunity to introduce little ones to clothing items and colours. This is beautifully incorporated into the simple text, rather than being one of those boring baby books. With Mr Croc, children will be learning and storing up information without even realising it. The book starts with the simple refrain 'Mr Croc, are you ready or not?' which is repeated throughout the story. Firstly, Mr Croc is busy putting on his 'blue jeans', then his 'yellow jumper', 'red...

Review of Ready or Not Mr. Croc - Jo Lodge

What An Old Croc!!

Advantages: Pop-ups and moving parts.
Disadvantages: The moving parts can be damaged by eager little hands!

...This book is aimed at pre-school children. -Style, Format and Illustrations - The book has thicker than usual pages but not quite as sturdy as a board book. The pages are very brightly coloured with pink, blue, yellow, purple and red backgrounds. It is a pop-up book which never fails to appeal to young children. There are six double page spreads across which Mr Croc spreads himself and pops up doing different actions when you slightly open and close the book, e.g. his eyes open and close and his hand moves up and down to wave. Simple, bold illustrations and limited repetitive text which is great for young children to commit to memory and join in with. - Content - On each page the reader is invited to join in with Mr Croc with different actions, e.g. ~ Mr Croc says..... Blink your eyes. Just like me! ~ Mr Croc says...

Review of Just Like Mr Croc! - Jo Lodge

The Crocs are everywhere

Advantages: Fun, light and above all else comfortable
Disadvantages: Jimmy Choo doesn't have to worry!

...Welcome to the wonderful and bright world of Crocs where celebrity fashionistas, medical and care professionals, those on their feet all day, those who walk everywhere (that would be me!), those with problem feet - oh and the boating community for which this footwear was developed all live! I am a convert. I couldn't see what all the fuss as about untl I got given some (my sister bought my Mum the same pair as my Mum bought and I have the same size feet as my Mum). But from the moment I put them on (apart from bed and a couple of occasions when I have had to wear "proper" shoes) they have been my footwear of choice this summer. The question posed on the website www.crocsfootwear.co.uk is simple - WHY CROCS? The 10 Reasons given (which I shall give my humble opinion on ) are as follows: Reason 1 Nothing is softer or more...

Crocs 'Snappy' footwear! (Sorry, I couldn't resist....)

Advantages: Comfortable, Durable, Waterproof, Fab!
Disadvantages: Not very stylish

...will ever come across. There are also styles for working in, geared towards both the on-your-feet medical and catering professions (eg; Professional) and office workers (Mary Jane and Alice), and for wet weather (Georgie boots), cold weather (Mammoths and Nadia boots) and lots of flip flop types, like Capri, Athens and Ithica. They have even developed the Cyprus - a heeled shoe that even I have to admit looks a trifle odd. In America they have released You by Crocs - more normal looking shoes that use the Crocs technology with more conventional footwear to offer more comfort in your fashion. DO THEY ONLY COME IN DAY-GLO COLOURS? No, luckily the boffins at Crocs offer some more colour alternatives to the radioactive versions you might be more familar with. My Caymans are a rather fetching pale lavender, while the fella went all...

Don't mock my Crocs

Advantages: Easy to clean, comfortable
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for what they are

...OK, I've managed to ignore the ubiquitous crocs for the last two summers now, but all of a sudden something changed. One of my friends mentioned that she was thinking of purchasing some Crocs, which led me to investigate the Crocs website. Whilst there, I discovered the 'ten benefits of Crocs' top reasons you gotta have 'em " 1. Really soft, super comfortable, molds to your feet 2. Barely there, weighing only 6 ounces 3. Vented so air passes through, keeping feet cool and even more reasons 4. Non-marking slip-resistant soles* 5. Bacteria and odor resistant 6. Ultra-hip Italian styling 7. Port holes allow water and sand to pass through 8. Can be sterilized in water and bleach 9. Easy maintenance, just wipe clean 10. Orthotic molded foot bed for ultimate comfort and support" (From Crocs...

Athens - Haven't You Grown Since I Saw You Last?

Advantages: Vibrant, cheap excellent public transport. Famous historic sites. Eating out
Disadvantages: Not as 'Greek' as it used to be. Poor air quality. The drivers!

...I'd been to Athens before, but not since 1973 so I was fully expecting a lot of changes, and to a greater extent I was right. For example, I was probably amongst the last tourists to be allowed full access to wander all over the famous Parthenon on the Acropolis hill. Since then it has been fenced off and variously concealed behind one piece of scaffolding or another, and is rumoured to stay that way for decades. I remember that summer of '73 with some trepidation - it was damned hot to be in a city and the traffic was truly awful, with blue fumes from two-stroke 'pop-pops' everywhere. Since then, cars have got a lot cleaner, but regrettably more numerous. Of course, going there in the October half-term holiday helps with the air-quality too! WHERE IS IT? It's the capital of Greece and lies in the province...
