Why consumers are boycotting the "divine" Crocs sandals

According to recent research by podiatrists, this type of sandal can affect your health, especially children.

Another notable drawback of this most unpopular type of sandal (once called “the world's ugliest sandal”) is not its design, but its effect on human health.

Crocs can affect your feet

Although Crocs are breathable and have become the most popular plastic sandal in the United States, podiatrist Megan Leahy of The Illinois Bone and Joint Institute says that Crocs are not particularly suitable for “everyday use.”

While Crocs have an arch design, they don’t have heel support, Leahy says. These types of sandals don’t provide good heel support, and when the heel isn’t stable, the toes will grip tightly, which can lead to problems like tendonitis, toe deformities, calluses, and toenail problems.

Crocs plastic sandals are chosen by many people in the summer.

Dr. Leahy also said that this statement is not only true for Crocs, but also for other types of slippers or open-heeled shoes with similar designs.

Therefore, although wearing Crocs sandals in the summer will feel comfortable and fashionable, when choosing summer shoes, you also need to carefully consider the above issues.

Crocs are unsafe

Crocs slippers use specialized plastic material Croslite (a material extracted from cellular plastic containing antibacterial and deodorizing substances). When worn, under body temperature, this material can automatically deform to fit the shape of the foot.

In addition, the manufacturer also advertises that this product is designed in European style, with an arched design inside to support the foot, a non-slip sole, and a color that is difficult to fade, making the foot always feel comfortable. Because the material of this type of sandal is light, non-slip, super durable, and long-lasting, people who often do outdoor sports love to wear them.

However, because Crocs sandals are made of quite soft material, since they became popular in 2006, in most countries around the world, there have been frequent incidents of children getting their feet stuck in elevators while wearing Crocs sandals.

Crocs are unsafe

Crocs sandals have too many fakes

There are many companies that copy Crocs and produce fakes, the price of a pair of fake sandals with similar designs is only about 1/10 of the genuine product. The fakes are not made with the specialized Croslite material, but the design is very similar to the genuine product.

Therefore, if you buy a fake product, it not only does not have the same advantages as the genuine product, but also has the disadvantages as Dr. Leahy warned above. Therefore, when buying sandals, you must be very careful not to buy fake products.
