Who Knew? A Croc on the Heads of Your Dogs and Cats Make Them Look Just Like the Pope

I used to love Crocs, and I mean LOVE them. However, I discovered in the worst way imaginable that they can actually be dangerous if you’re not careful. Apparently, a wet garden and a pair of Crocs on my bare feet mean someone’s got a torn ACL. Yeah, that someone is me. And get this: It happened not once, but twice, although the second time, I was wearing sneakers. But still, fell in the exact same place two years in a row. Just because I’m clumsy doesn’t mean they’re not awesome shoes, though. My husband swears by them and wears nothing else around the house.

When I first started wearing them, you could only buy them at a feed store in our town. That was way before the days of them having their own stores, of course. The company was founded by Lyndon Hanson and George Boedecker Jr. Originally, the shoe was developed as a boating shoe (which sounds like a horrible idea to me, based on the reason I gave in the first paragraph). However, in 2001, the first Croc was called the “Beach” and was unveiled at a boat show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it sold out all 200 pairs that were initially produced. Since then, Croc has sold more than 300 million pairs of shoes.

I have to say that it was fun being an early adapter of something (rare for me) and they looked so pretty lining the wall of the feed store where I bought them. They’ve come a long way since then! The Classics come in more than 20 colors and they also have a variety of different prints. My hubby’s Crocs are camouflage and his previous pair was brown. Now they even have a fuzzy collection that has removable woolly liners so that they can be worn in winter.

One of the best things about Crocs is that if you put one on your dog or cat’s head, they look like the Pope. Check out this gallery below.
