American Klompen: CROCS!!!


I've made a GREAT discovery!!! CROCS are the American version of klompen!!!

Klompen are Dutch wooden shoes that are great for wearing out in the garden. They get wet and muddy and you simply just hose them off. I've often thought of buying them for my family, but travelling with carry-on luggage changes the way you do things. Plus, klompen aren't cheap!

Now I know that CROCS have been around for a while, but they are ugly, and I just didn't see the sense in them until recently.

I discovered CROCS down at the beach-- there's actually a CROCS outlet store. We now all wear our CROCS outside, and leave them at the door. Three cheers for the American version of klompen!!!
