Mad About Shoes

You’d be surprised to know that our cute Croc shoes are banned in a hospital in Pittsburgh and they are not safe to be worn on an escalator.

According to Sharon Krystofiak, the infection control manager of the hospital, the holes that ventilate the shoes pose a safety hazard.

If there’s a chance you could drop something like a syringe in one of them, we want to avoid that. Some of those holes are relatively large, almost like a dime.”

This policy was put into effect when a nurse was wearing Crocs and a needle stuck her shoes.

Comfort, style and lightweight are the grounds of the skyrocket sale of these shoes. Even I was planning to buy one pair for myself, but another news struck my eyes. They say (and is true) that Crocs are inappropriate to wear while on a lazy trip to the mall because the soft rubbery shoes get easily caught in the escalator. Actually, the soft sole of a Croc does not stand up well to escalators, like a harder-soled sneaker. If the Croc is stuck in the side, it could very well pull down your foot in seconds.

Hence, please make sure that you ride at the center of the escalator step to save yourself from being stuck.

What is the primary reason for a person to buy Nike footwear? Comfort, durability, etc, etc.... And these features stem from one particular aspect of all Nike footwear - the all-weather material they use in most of their shoes and sandals. And, when it is a key strength, would a company dare to stray away and create something different? If it is Nike, it would.

We have always known Nike as an aggressive and innovative company. It lives up to this reputation by introducing its first pair of leather sandals. The sandals have a suede footbed and Nike’s trademark minimalist design - this time criss-cross black straps.

The sandals haven’t hit the markets but going by the looks, we can definitely say that Nike fans would certainly lap it up.
