partnership with internationally-recognized golf instructor Hank
Haney. The Crocs Golf with Hank Haney collection will launch in the
spring of 2012 and feature a number of men's and women's styles that can
be worn both on and off the course.
The new collection strikes the perfect balance of utmost comfort for
which Crocs shoes are known, with technical engineering for the casual
golfer. Each of the four Crocs Golf with Hank Haney styles were designed
with input from Haney based on his experience
over the past 35 years instructing more than 200 touring professionals
from the PGA, LPGA, Champions, European, Japanese, Australian and Asian
tours.

shoes for the recreational player. All of the styles feature Croslite(TM)

other golf shoe.

Green, Espresso/White, Navy/White and White/Sea Blue. The women's
Braden will be available in White/Fuchsia, White/Turquoise and
Electric Blue/White.

CrosMesh(TM) upper, the Drayden allows for cooling ventilation on warm
days, making it the perfect shoe for warm golf climates. The Drayden

"I spend a lot of time in and around the golf course so functionality
and comfort are extremely important to me," said Haney. "Crocs listened
to my input and suggestions, and I believe the Crocs Golf with Hank
Haney collection provides golf fans with a complete golf shoe that
combines style, performance, and all around comfort. From the range to
the clubhouse, the collection features a variety of styles for both men
and women."
"The Crocs Golf collection is a natural brand extension for Crocs as it
offers a casual alternative to the traditional golf shoe," said Dale
Bathum, senior vice president of product development for Crocs. "They
still provide all of the same technical engineering, but with the
comfort and innovative design consumers have come to expect from Crocs
footwear. The launch of this new line continues to showcase the depth
and breadth of our styles. Currently, we offer more than 250 styles of
Crocs shoes, ranging from the original clog-style shoe to wedges, flats,
