Crocs Crafts New Looks: Wedges, Peep-Toes, Sneakers

They're getting it!

Instead of spending hours on new ways to sell classic rubber clog, the team behind Crocs shoe realized variety in business is key.

Thanks to their new thinking, the numbers have seen a dramatic increase. In fact, 54% of current sales come from the new line of wedges, flats, and peep-toes.

CEO John McCarvel said of the epiphany:

"Our main focus today is getting new customers to understand that we're no longer just a clog. I think this is our biggest challenge as a brand today - getting people to take a look at us in a different way. We had to innovate our way out of the situation we had put ourselves in."

And that they did!

As we've previously discussed, Crocs is no longer falling down a bankrupt black hole and if business keeps going the way it is, it's going to be a while before they ever have to worry about that again!

Take a look at some of their new styles (below)! What do U think??

World's Most Expensive Flip-Flops

As if designer shoes weren’t expensive enough, now flip-flops have joined the high-end line. Sort of.

Chipkos has just released a one-of-a-kind pair of sandals said to be worth $18 $18,000!

The flip-flops were hand-painted by El Lay artist David Palmer and are being sold to help raise money to protect 100,000 square feet of endangered rain forest land.

At the same time, Chipkos is introducing their newest line of eco-friendly sandals which will reportedly protect one hundred square feet of the rain forest for each one sold.

Chipkos' Chief Nature Ambassador, Priya Jaggia, reveals:

"We believe that people are ready for a wearable badge to express their support for nature conservation.”

Fashion and charity? Nice.
