Are Crocs made of Alligator Hide?

I am here to clear up any misapprehensions about Crocs including whether any alligators have died in the making of these shoes.

Question: What’s the deal with Crocs? Are they shoes or are they sandals?? And, more importantly, are they made of alligator hide? I refuse to wear something made out of alligator hide. What’s wrong with you that you think it’s ok to kill harmless gators and put them on your feet?

Answer: One question at a time, please. [easyazon_link identifier=”B00LUP5OXW” locale=”US” tag=”greatbookgood-20″]Crocs[/easyazon_link] are versatile. Some are shoes and some are sandals. What’s your fancy?

Second, NO, [easyazon_link identifier=”B010WEYY32″ locale=”US” nw=”n” nf=”n” tag=”greatbookgood-20″ cart=”n”]Crocs[/easyazon_link] are NOT made out of alligators. After all, alligators and crocodiles are separate species. Isn’t the correct question, “Are [easyazon_link identifier=”B002JCSSSS” locale=”US” nw=”n” nf=”n” tag=”greatbookgood-20″ cart=”n”]Crocs[/easyazon_link] made of CROCODILE hide?”

Question: Are you playing with me?

Answer: Maybe a little.

Question: Fine. Are [easyazon_link identifier=”B010123E6S” locale=”US” nw=”n” nf=”n” tag=”greatbookgood-20″ cart=”n”]Crocs[/easyazon_link] made of CROCodile hide?

Answer: Certainly not. They are made of Croslite (proprietary foam for the comfort and cushioning of the feet). No crocodiles are ever harmed in the making of these shoes. Does this look like a maimed crocodile to you?

Question: Ok. You’ve convinced me. Now about this drink called Gatorade….

Answer: Um, I give up.
