I’ve seen them everyday, every single day so I guess they are good for the rainy weather — specially for the K-I-D-S. Even so, people will litter the streets with this colorful cartoonish footwear which I believe not my style at the moment. Eleven months back, I was kind of excited to buy one but I couldn’t even describe all the styles to wow my friends, to begin with.
I recalled there were few children had the accident that involves Crocs using the escalator. The girl’s foot was trapped and could not be released until fireman arrives. There had been at least two such incidents reported in the Chinese newspaper of Crocs shoes being caught in escalator. While they are cute, I have always wonder whether the shoes provide enough support since they are so soft and comfy.
In Sweden, it was reported that Crocs have been banned from Hospitals. That also happened in Singapore as well. The girl might have lost two of her toes.
The standard beach style costs HK$268 while the children’s version is HK$198. And if you think you want to buy a pair, please be extra vigilant when wearing them if you’re using the escalators - or better still, use the lift.
But despite the high comfort levels, I still can’t see myself wearing a pair of Crocs in the public. For those who are in Hong Kong who loves Crocs, ok take a deep breath, here’s the address. Crocs - HK G/F, 22 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong. Tel: 2810 0469.

K lives in Hong Kong, who loves music, homes & architectures, movie trailers and all things . My life in this city project a lot of things - it’s all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls.
Blue, that was horrible. So I guess, I’ll stick to my Havaianas.
Weng, HK people are devotedly “hooked” with latest trends, one can either wear something flattering to be seen. Fashion here is crazy, it’s their thing. If you have money, they buy it even if a dress looks crappy on them, (for as long as there’s a familiar big logo name). People will stand up in the line forever just to catch the latest hot goods. In one way or another, people have something to think about before they buy these crocs. Safety first, right?
Inthesity, you’re right they’re quite expensive.
I’ll stick with my converse.
