Crocs, Inc., World Leader in Innovative Casual Footwear, Debuts New
Styles with Patent-Pending Toning Technology
NIWOT, Colo., Nov 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
The U.S. Surgeon General recommends every American walk a minimum of
10,000 steps a day for better wellness. Now, people can make every step
they take count more with the new Crocs Tone(TM) collection from Crocs,
Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX). Unlike current athletic or flip flop options where
toning features are highly visible, Crocs Tone(TM) works through a
proprietary and purposefully concealed three-layer design to stimulate
leg muscle activity while walking in great-looking, affordable shoes
that can be worn for multiple occasions.
"Despite the toning categories exponential growth, the market is missing
casual lifestyle shoes. The Crocs Tone(TM) collection fills that void,"
said Dale Bathum, Global Vice President of Product. "With the
versatility and foot health attributes of our proprietary Croslite(TM)
technology, we have the ability to design sleeker, more stylish
silhouettes that stimulate muscle activity in the upper and lower legs,
so that women have the opportunity to realize the benefits of toning
without sacrificing style or comfort."
The Crocs Tone(TM) collection, built on patent-pending, leg-shaping
technology, is comprised of the Skylar Flat (MSRP: $49.99), a sling-back
flat, and the Skylar Clog (MSRP: $59.99), a sleeker-version on the Crocs
Classic clog, with the Skylar Sandal (MSRP: $49.99) and Skylar Flip
(MSRP: $49.99) styles rounding out the collection in Spring 2011. Each
of these styles is available in fun, bright color combinations including
Black / Neon Pink, Espresso / Electric Blue, Light Grey / Rose, Citrus /
Oyster and Watermelon / Oyster for women sizes 4-12.
"Women want to look and feel great in their shoes, yet be comfortable
above all else. These new styles represent the best of both worlds while
providing the added benefit of toning," said Alison Deyette, nationally
recognized style expert, and founder ofwww.AliOnTheGo.com.
"Slide into Crocs Tone(TM) shoes for any occasion - a stroll with the dog,
Saturday outlet mall shopping with the girls, on the morning commute, or
even walking from the car to the gym."
How Crocs Tone(TM) Technology Works
Developed by Crocs leading biomechanics engineering and product design
teams, Crocs Tone(TM) technology utilizes Crocs proprietary Croslite(TM)
material technology, along with a purposefully concealed three-layer
design:
|
|
|
1.
|
|
A carefully designed, sculpted, spherical outsole creates a
variety of walking rhythms to spark a spectrum of muscle activity,
enhancing the wellness benefits of Crocs Tone(TM) shoes.
|
|
|
|
2.
|
|
A Croslite(TM) material footbed cradles and supports the foot,
helping to ease muscle fatigue in the feet and legs and providing
relief to the musculoskeletal system.
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
A cutting edge toning ring provides stability so that there are
gentle shifts in foot movement while walking to stimulate upper
and lower leg muscles.

Starting today, the collection will be available for sale at www.crocs.com,
Crocs stores and Dick's Sporting Goods.
