菜SanSan
About this episode

The company was founded in 2002 ,the same year it debuted is classic clog   ,the name crocs was inspired by  crocodiles ,who live on land and in water . 

When crocs shoes were first (released ) ,they were intended for a consumer when looking at them   as a functional things  ,probably gardeners   people that were on boats ,

People that walked  all day on their feet ,people that were on a line at the kitchen .

The part of what makes them so functional is material , a proprietary closed-cell resin calls  croslite ,that’s slip (resistant ) ,light weight and  easy to clean .

Produce a molded shoes is certainly simpler  in a lot of ways that simply than assembling a sneaker , the most underrated advantage they have over the marketplace  is that it’s clear that they are able to  kind of do  things ,that other companies are not be able to do because of their scales , because of   their production capability.
