Kids love Crocs because they are cool, comfortable, and easy to put on and take off.  Once kids start wearing Crocs they never want to wear any other shoes.

Why do parents love Crocs for their kids so much?

Because they are good for them!  Their unique appearance may identify Crocs shoes and sandals for kids, men and women, but Crocs shoes and sandals have a lot more to their appeal. While the fun factor plays an important part in pleasing people who wear them, the comfort and convenience offered by Crocs have supplemented their attractiveness.

They’re decently priced, interchangeable, springy and light with the feel of “marshmallow fluffiness”. The holes punched in the toe of Crocs footwear allow for a soothing breeze to cool a sweaty foot. Those who wear Crocs all day swear that the springy material Crocslite holds up like nothing else. Crocs wearers are drawn by the “No slip grip on the sole” with the aerating holes on the toe area and by Crocs feather-like weightlessness (a mere 6 ounces). Crocs shoes are made of a proprietary nonplastic resin formula (known as Croslite). Croslite material is soft, bacteria-resistant and has a strangely “natural” feel. It is known for its anti-microbial, slip resistant, anti-odor that provides the ultimate in comfortable wear because it ergonomically molds to the shape of your foot. Durable and comfortable Croslite has a feel of lightness and springiness.

Here are a few specs from Crocs™

Anatomically designed Croc’s heels are designed to support the rotation of foot. This prevents heel spurs. They also hold the medial arch steadily in place.
Ergonomically designed The average pressure on the sole of a regular shoe is 51N/cm². This is enough to tire your feet in a few hours. Crocs, at most, apply 22N/cm² of pressure — less than half of that applied by a normal shoe.
Wide and stable The width of Croc shoes and sandals enable greater weight distribution. This provides stability to your movements and can be of great help while lifting and carrying things.
Shock absorbing The firm characteristics of Crocs’ springy foam reduce the load on your feet to a minimum. These shoes and sandals also reduce the impact on thighs, knees and calves while walking.
For all seasons Crocs shoes and sandals are safe to wear in any season, wet or dry. They also offer excellent standards of slip resistance.
Allow ventilation The holes in Croc shoes allow air circulation. This keeps your feet cool and reduce sweating. The colorful range of accessories also increases the appeal of Crocs shoes and sandals for kids, men and women.
Easy to clean and maintain You hardly need effort to clean your pair of Crocs. Use soap with cool water.
Odor-free The foot bed in a Croc sandal or shoe does not allow microbes to breed. The closed cell resin is anti-fungi and anti-bacteria, keeping the Crocs odor-free.
Customized Crocs work as personalized shoes as the patented closed cell resin molds to your feet. The resin actually moulds to the shape of the foot for a customized fit.

What do the doctors on WEBMD have to say on the health and safety of Crocs shoes for kids?

“Crocs shoes do provide protection, compared to going barefoot, or wearing flip-flops or sandals,” says Donna M. Alfieri, DPM, associate professor at the N.Y. College of Podiatric Medicine. “They offer some arch support and cushion, the holes in the shoe allow air in and keep the feet from sweating, and the antimicrobial properties of Crocs could help prevent infections in kids’ feet.” Kids’ crocs come in so many different styles and colors, kids everywhere are wearing the shoes that fit their feet and their personality.

“In addition to the support and protection kids get from Crocs, the great thing is they want to wear them,” says Hal Ornstein, DPM, chairman of the American Academy of Podiatric Practice Management.

Ornstein, who sells a special therapeutic line of adult Crocs, called Crocs Rx, through his private practice, says that his own children wear Crocs and love them.

“My kids wear Crocs all summer long,” says Ornstein. “Instead of having to tell them to tie the laces on their sneakers and worrying about them tripping over untied shoes, Crocs are convenient and they like them — they’re cool.”

“I generally like Crocs for kids for their convenience factor in the summer,” says Russell G. Volpe, DPM, a professor of orthopaedics and pediatrics at N.Y. College of Podiatric Medicine. “They make a great beach and pool shoe — easy on and easy off.”

Kids love Crocs — that much is obvious. Sit on a bench near a park and more than half of the kids that pass by will likely be sporting a pair. For kids who avoid shoes in the summer or consistently forget to tie the laces on their sneakers, Crocs are finally a shoe that fits.

“Other trends have really affected shoe-wearing in children in a negative way,” says Ornstein. “So Crocs, which kids like to wear, have been a breath of fresh air.”
