... And good Crocs getting hit or miss. We (father, mother, child) are convinced Crocs-carriers of the first generation. Once these are gradually durchgelatscht, had to be replaced the 'fleet'. Perhaps we have simply had bad luck - but this is our personal experience at our Order odyssey. We have four pairs ordered from different suppliers. But we got three pairs of 'Made in China' and a pair of 'Made in Italy'. The Crocs 'Made in Italy' are the way we were used to it. The Italy-Crocs are odorless, right out of the box. If you look at the footbed, the plastic is completely matt, when pressed with the thumb has this typical soft-touch feel. The plastic used is an absolutely homogeneous mass, not trapped impurities, etc. ride soft, airy, as usual. Quite different is the chemical Crocs from China. Carton opened - a stinging smell of kerosene / cheap plastic, or worse. The footbed shines oily-greasy, when pressed with the thumb gives the material, with a larger force, reluctantly a little after. The plastic used looks unclean from, the material lumps are included, small rod-like residues, there have been partially formed bubbles, some of which have been merged. Running can be heard with each step a quick, smacking sound, because the foot sticks briefly on footbed with every step. After a few minutes the feet begin to sweat. Is this some kind of patented PCCR plastic foam which has the Crocs made it so popular? Our personal opinion: No, never. Rather, the sludge from Fukushima. But apparently enough so the mold in order to call themselves 'original Crocs'. My wife has retained her Italy-Crocs, the rest we have returned. Dear none Crocs as a China-toxic waste dump on her bare feet. Too bad to get good Crocs has become like Russian roulette - no, Chinese Roulette.
