My hubby saw something on TV about the woman who started making the little doodads you mentioned. If I have the story correct, she and her children were making them for fun, decided to try to sell them online so started a website, got her parents to helping make them, got so busy, she rented a building and hired help to make them. Her daughter was at the swimming pool when a man saw them and ask her about them. She told him her mother made them. He gave her his card told her to have her mother call him. He bought the business for $2 million. All of this is supposed to have happened in a year to a common housewife. Why couldn't we have come up with this idea??!!

I saw that too, she was on Oprah. The guy at the pool was the inventor/designer of the crocs.

Janet, you're definitely NOT too old to wear them. I have a pair and I really like them and we're about the same age. I have a black pair because I ususally keep my shoes pretty basic. My daughter has a navy pair and a pastel mulit-colored pair. You really should get you a pair. I love them in the summer because I can just slip them on and off.
