Posted by: GeorgeGSmithjr on: January 5, 2009

Crocs™ shoes are worn all over the world. From the busy streets of Tokyo, the rolling Kansas plains, the London Underground and even the canals of Venice – if you turn around, you’re likely to see someone wearing a pair of Crocs™ shoes.

Our Crocs™ Athlete, Carlos Dias of Brazil, has spent the year participating in the 4 Deserts. At the end of November, he did the final leg of the competition – the Last Desert in Antarctica. Crocs™ shoes in Antarctica!?!? We truly are worn all over the world!

Running in temperatures of 37 below zero and facing strong winds – Carlos persevered and demonstrated his commitment to his sport. In doing so, he become the first South American athlete to run the Antarctic. All of us here at Crocs, Inc. are extremely proud of Carlos and all his accomplishments and we wanted to share them with you!
