Crocs are the rubbery shoes that (sm)
a lot of people wear these days - they are kind of ugly (sorry for those who like them) but they make sore feet feel so much better! Crocs is the brand name - they usually have holes all over the top and kids sometimes put little charms called jibbets in them. But they are very soft and very helpful for achy feet :-)
