Crocs Are Like Hawaii

If that didn't make sense, let me explain:

Everyone always raves about Hawaii, right? So, years ago in my teenage perverseness or whatever, I decided "Who cares about Hawaii?" How great could it be? Sure, pictures I'd seen showed a pretty piece of the earth, but there are lots of those. So I never had a desire to go to Hawaii, and I never understood why it was such a big deal.....Until I actually went there. I hated to jump on the bandwagon, but I couldn't help it. Hawaii was gorgeous and fun and relaxing and one of the most beautiful places I've still ever seen (granted, I haven't seen TOO many places, but I'd still wager it's one of the prettiest).

So then Crocs. Crocs are a fairly recent rage in the shoe industry. Everybody has been babbling about how great Crocs are, how comfortable, how their kids just have to have them. So I didn't feel any interest really in getting the shoe that everyone else is wearing, though I was curious what made them so great. They looked like they had the potential to be comfortable, alright, but having the latest fad didn't appeal to me so much....until I actually wore them. While I was in Colorado a few weeks ago, I saw that my friend had some so I just had to see what the big deal was. And they are so comfortable!! Way more so than I expected. So that Croc bandwagon going by? You'll see me on it. (And my friend also convinced me to try Dansko shoes---I'm a convert, even though they're on the spendy side. My feet used to always hurt, no matter what shoe I got. Now, thanks to my friend and her pointing me in the direction of Crocs and Dansko, my feet feel good for the first time in ages.)

So in case you still don't see how Crocs are like Hawaii, let me just tell ya: they're both worthy of all the hype.
