We like to talk about how our footwear is Proven Feel Good. We like that phrase because we feel like it summarizes everything we are. It’s not just the comfort – although that’s a huge part of it. It’s about the way it makes you feel. From the smiles on children’s faces, the relief we provide those with foot pain, and the casual versatility we give to those on the go – we’ve proven throughout the years that we will help you get that Feel Good feeling at the end of the day.

For me, feel good also means helping others. What we started last year and continue to do in 2009 through our SolesUnited program is proof that we can help people worldwide. The Samaritan’s Feet donation of 50,000 pairs kicked off the New Year with a bang. Now, Crocs™ has teamed up with Brother’s Brother Foundation and  Children International to donate 10,000 pairs of clogs made from recycled materials to impoverished children in Ecuador.

Now – what do all these shoes mean? It means that these children won’t have to go barefoot anymore. It means they will be able to avoid cuts and scratches that often turn to infection and disease. It means they can feel good – in ways that we often take for granted.

As I’ve said before and I’ll say repeatedly as we continue donations like this at home and abroad – this makes me proud to come to work each day at Crocs, Inc. Take a minute and check out each foundation and think of ways that you can help out in your community or abroad!
