These shoes have been on the market since ages and every time I saw them I just thought: eewww – they are not really nice. They are not girly or pretty at all. I just could never understand why people wear them. But all the times I asked somebody who’d wear these shoes they told me they are comfy and for nothing on earth they would change them.

However, I still wasn’t keen on them and was convinced I’ll never buy a pair myself ... until last November.

My mum came up to me and told me in a most subtle way that she really fancies buying a pair of Crocs. OMG! I mean why? She’d explain to me that there is a special kind of Crocs she wants to have – the Crocs Mammoth. They are especially made for winter and they’re waterproof as well. Mum wants them for wearing them around the house and to keep her feet warm in the cold winter.

Alright, I did pop around the Crocs shop in Westfield/ London and wanted to buy mum some for Chrimbo.  The shop assistant said I better buy them one size bigger as they are relatively small. I decided to try them on as my mum has the same size as me. And you know what? They were the most comfy shoes I’d ever wear. They still weren’t pretty and I refused to look down on my feet but they FELT like heaven. That’s ace! Unbelievable ... even if I didn’t end up buying a pair for myself as I prefer gorgeous shoes over comfy ones.
