The Crocs That Could


Once upon a time, there was a shoe; a boat shoe. Unlike Cinderella’s neglected glass slipper, this shoe would never part ways with your foot. Specifically engineered, this shoe was made from a technological material called Croslite. Though this shoe was formed with simply aquatic intents, the trend spread. This shoe became a necessity for your foot, than for your preferences, and ultimately your occasions. When you welcome these shoes to embrace your foot, this relationship is guaranteed a happy ending, thanks to Crocs. At least, that’s the story Crocs is selling in their mission’s statement. When it comes down to it, what is their objective? Crocs aims to create the identity of their shoes.

The unassuming, humble beginnings of this footwear set the stage. The setting begins in Boulder, Colorado with a boat shoe and then expands globally as trendy footwear. The character is then enabled to transition from, “simply comfortable” to styles weighing over a hundred.
 Crocs personifies their character casually, and in a well-rounded way. These shoes could be that all-American basketball star or the friendly gamer down the street; as long as they are easy-going and friendly. These companions can accompany any outing and enhance any statement. Crocs not only support your arches, but also your ventures and seasons.

This mission statement narrates, as if “About me” blurbing on an E- Harmony profile. Accept, instead of searching for that perfect soul-mate, you’re hooking up your feet with a sole-mate. The results of this companionship result in a relationship that leaves the customer knowing and loving. The qualities of these personified Crocs will not disappoint. Those who sport their knowing foot ware relationship, “feel the love.” Your foot-shoe match-making has proved a success.

Crocs’ Joe Plumber shoes were never intended for greatness. Through a chain of events, their amiable qualities attracted the masses. Crocs’ identity wasn’t about boating anymore. Comfort, choices, and occasion became prioritized. Their purpose multiplied and accessorized. After many people were satisfied with their ideal convenience, Crocs became highly sought after footwear.  Their identity went from simple boat shoe to sophisticated professional wear.

After reading Crocs: the Mission Statement  from start to finish, I would scrutinize that their identity is conversationally wrapped up in this character’s rise to fame. As shoes, described like a relational person, coming into its own, Crocs stands proud. As if winking at the admirers, these shoes say, “hey friend, try me on.”
