I picked a friend up at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport on Tuesday and her daughter’s Croc got caught in the escalator. Luckily a quick thinking man on the escalator behind her scooped up her daughter before it got to her toes.
The front end of the Croc was all black and mangled!
I have a 15 month old daughter and if she gets Crocs at all, she won’t be wearing them anywhere near an escalator.

My dad used to wear those things over his work shoes…I think they were called ‘rubbers’ HA! yeah. Anyway, you working men know what I’m talking about. My dad was at the mall once and got his stuck in the escalator & it ripped it right off his foot. Crocs aren’t any different than any other shoe with loose parts as the post above states…it’s a good safety reminder nonetheless since just about every kid (and adult) in America now has a pair.

There were a few stories out about this issue a couple of months ago…and I freaked for a bit. But…they said it’s no different than other soft shoes.

Maybe it’s just that crocs are so much more visible.

Although. I do make the kids jump off the escalator at the top/bottom.

Holy Croc crap! I think I just involuntarily kicked myself after seeing that picture. I hope my friends would shoot me, if I ever went in public with orange peels on my feet.

My 22 month daughter loves her Crocs also…… BUT they will not be going to the mall either.

We are wearing our crocs just at home. I think that crocs are very comfortable to wear them at home, but we never take them for work or to go shopping.
