]]> Kids Kerri and I have written before about the rubber Crocs clogs and their imitators before (she likes them, I’m not completely sold). Today, I found out that the daughter of one of my blog friends, Jo, was wearing imitation Crocs when they got stuck in an escalator in Singapore earlier this month.

On Saturday, two-year-old Chong Shiyr’s right big toe was ripped off in a Singapore mall after her rubber clog — an imitation of a Croc shoe — got stuck between the escalator gap and the side wall.

Her toe was found nearly three hours later but could not be reattached as it was too badly damaged.

Crocs public relations manager Tia Mattson emphasized the safety of Crocs shoes while reminding everyone of the dangers of escalators and moving sidewalks.

Have you and your family ever had a harrowing experience on an escalator, elevator, or moving sidewalk?

]]> Four out six kids at a get-together we went to yesterday were wearing Crocs. Two were wearing authentic Crocs that are worth about $25, one (my son) was wearing knock-offs from Walmart that cost $9, and I’m not sure about the last little guy.

I’ve got a pair of real Crocs myself and while they’re sorta kinda comfortable, I still prefer to wear proper shoes. They’re definitely a convenient pair of slip-ons for kids to run around in the backyard, though. So I’m off to Walmart again soon to pick up an extra pair.

Besides the huge price difference, does anybody know how the Walmart knock-offs differ from the real thing?
