We've all heard of Crocs which tend to be complete Marmite shoes...you either love them or hate them, but no-one can deny they are practical and are certainly great for children during the warmer weather. And to be fair to Crocs their range has grown substantially from the original Cayman that found them that first fame and now features all sorts of shoes and boots. My favourites from this summers collection has got to be the Beach Line range.
As with most Crocs the Beach Line is made from Croslite,which gives the lightweight durability and comfort we're all so used to, but the Beach Line has a bit of extra style. Based on the traditional deck shoe they have 360 degree lacing systems which give them that authentic boat shoe look and definatley look more like a shoe than a Croc. However in true Crocs style they do come in a range of colours, everything from stunning colour combinations to slightly over the top and wacky.
So that brings us to Mocks.......
A fairly new range to the footwear market they have taken their inspiration from moccasins and with 21st century technology have updated them. Mocks created a new material that has a long and complicated name so they simply named it Mocklite (hmmm....Croslite/Mocklite, I see a trend here). The Mocklite material is soft and flexible and completely washable.
Washable!!! |
All the colours of the rainbow |
Unfortunately Mocks don't do a childrens range yet, a shame as these like Crocs would be fab for kids, won't matter if they get wet and mucky and will keep little feet supported, however for us big kids there is a massive range of mens and ladies Mocks, and like Crocs in almost every colour imaginable you could walk the rainbow with all their colours.
So that brings us back to the question of Mocks or Crocs? Quite simply I don't know, they both have fantastic benefits and a massive range to choose from. Crocs has been around for a while now and have built up a great brand with fantastic new shoes arriving every season without fail, but are Mocks the new kids on the block???
