Crocs the shoe, not the animal. (healthful) Video Here

I have to tell you that I am a ‘huge’ fan of Crocs. If you have never tried them, you should really slip on a pair of these fantastic feeling shoes. I am a diabetic, type 2, so I have to be very, (and I mean very) careful of my feet. They have to be in extremely comfortable shoes whenever I can, and that means that I virtually live in my Crocs.

If you have worn Crocs before, and have strayed away from these delightful forms of footwear, hurry back to a Crocs store and take a look at how much the company has expanded their line. Now, you may be asking me an obvious question here. What does Crocs footwear have to do with healthy computing? Easy! The more comfortable your footwear is, the more motivated you will be to move those feet, especially if it feels like your walking on puffing marshmallows.

The accompanying video of myself showing you a few different styles should only wet your appetite. These shoes are the most comfortable things I have ever slipped on my feet. I can stand on concrete for over 8 hours a day and not get sore feet, calves, knees, hips or back aches. There are styles of Crocs that are dressy enough to ware with semi-casual clothes, right up to dress pants and they look like they fit right in.

The old saying goes, ‘if your feet hurt, you hurt all over’ and that makes sense, especially to me, a reflexologist. Your feet have over 7200 nerve endings that travel all over your body and not having comfortable footwear can make life a drudgery. At Christmas, I showed my Crocs to a few of the male family members. One of them laced them up, took two steps and said ‘where can I buy a pair of these?’. Another colleague of mine did some research on the Crocs shoe brand, and he said that he can almost always find something negative about a product on the internet, but told me that there was not one bad report regarding these shoes.

Here is an article to shows how to tell the difference between real Crocs and a fake.

Well, I think you can tell I have formed an opinion about these shoes. If you are a heavy computer user, and want a change from sitting down for hours on end, elevate your notebook, slip on a pair of Crocs and do some computing standing up! Now that’ll get you out of a rut.
