Pittsburgh Steelers Jibbitz (Set of 2)

Introducing officially licensed NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Jibbitz. A sore foot is a smiling foot when you give it some Jibbitz bling! These small grommets are a great way to customize your shoes. Jibbitz are the great way to show your NFL team spirit! Pittsburgh Steelers Jibbitz are fun pieces that fit inside the holes of Crocs, the fun new accessory for your Crocs shoes! Simple and easy to install, start decorating the rubber shoes with jibbitz- accessories which fit into the little holes on the shoes.


Kids croc shoes have been around for several years now. In 2002 they took the world by storm, and now you can see them on little feet in every country. They are specially ergonomically designed (like they do with space rockets) so that they are almost weightless, which means your child is not constrained by heavy clumpy shoes when taking their early steps.

After a while, the croc will change it's shape to support the little foot wearing it, which makes each pair of kids croc shoes unique to its wee owner. But there are loads more reasons why my kids choose to wear croc shoes (and why I let them).

  1. They come in an amazing array of bright child friendly funky colors, which means I can usually easily tempt mine into putting them on, and what's more keeping them on.
  2. You can put little stickers on them, ones that you get your kids to make at home (mine just put little sticky glittery stars on theirs, a very inexpensive alternative to buying charms for them). This makes them more interesting and appealing to the child, and they are less likely to take them off and throw them at passers by, whilst in their push chair.
  3. Use nail varnish with stencils (you can make the stencils yourself), to get them to design on them. Stars, circles and other shapes are the easiest. You can also use any spare (waterbased paint) you have around.
  4. They are very light, so make easy packing when travelling. With the baggage weight limits that most airlines have these days, that's a real plus.
  5. They are soft enough to wear in the house, keeping those little feet safe from bumping into furniture legs, stepping in the dog food bowl, (or worse) and cracking their toes off the side of doors.
  6. But the best thing of all is that they can easily be cleaned. I put them in the washing machine, with a tad of disinfectant (you should see what my ones get their feet into). They wash well and dry overnight, or quicker during the day in the open air.

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you see now why I choose kids croc shoes.

Now, a word about buying them. Because of their weight, they are ideal for buying on line, as they usually come with either free, or very cheap delivery or shipping charges, and this is where you can get the best deals.

However, beware, there are some 'alternative' crocs around, which may be cheaper, but often a bargain is not really what it seems. These 'alternatives' are not made from the same lightweight resin, and are often just cheap plastics. The best way to tell is the price really. If the price seems to good to be true then rest assured it probably isn't the true croc. Don't you hate it when what your parents always told you turns out to be right after all?

They will not support the foot properly, and will probably start to smell during use. The real croc is almost indestructible, believe me, yes they have tried everything, I like to put it down to them being creative! So the authentic kids croc shoes will outperform in the long run.

Customer Review: Crocs Ace Golf Shoes
I consider these golf shoes to be a minor miracle. With Crocs Aces, I can now walk nine holes of golf without foot pain, something I've been unable to do for at least the past ten years. I've worn golf shoes from FootJoy, Etonic, New Balance, Nike and others but never without forefoot pain until the Crocs Aces. They are comfortable, have good traction, and keep my feet dry in damp grass. I've worn them for more than a dozen rounds (nine holes) and so far they seem to be reasonably durable although I don't expect to get more than one season out of them. But at this price I have no problem with that -- I'll just buy a new pair next year. Note that they fit smaller than Crocs Caymans. Also, based on a review I read elsewhere, I always wear socks with the Aces.


What are high quality boots? We know brand names that are associated with quality for example Doc Martins. In the past they have been so well thought of that the police and the military have used them. We all know this, if not consciously, then unconsciously. The name Doc Martins is another word for excellent footwear.

But how do we really know that they are good quality. We are basically relying on there reputation and probably don't study the seam and the weight of the boot itself. It's a pair of Docs so why not buy them. Everyone else does. This article is going to give a brief overview of what to look for when buying high quality boots.

First all have a look at the heel. The boot may look very nice from the top with just the style you are looking for, but a real quality boot will have a leather heel. If you look closely at the heel you can see that the leather is stacked. This is a mark of quality. Cheaper shoes tend to have laminated heels.

The stitching is also a major factor. We all know the famous yellow stitching of Doc Martins, yet if we look closely at this stitching we will see it is very intricate, and if weren't for the color would hardly be noticeable. Cheaper shoes tend to have bigger stitching that not only looks unattractive but also comes apart after a short space of time. Boots don't have to be perfect. The main aim for a shoemaker is to get it to fit the feet. That's where the real quality comes in.

So by far the best way to check the quality of the boot is to try it on. But don't just sit there admiring the style, walk around the shop. A good quality shoe or boot should be comfortable. There should be absolutely no rubbing on your feet and you should feel support on the ankles.

Remember though to think why you are buying the shoes. They maybe of fantastic quality, but if you buy Doc Martins for mountain climbing they just won't last. Hiking boots are best for this and for these you maybe looking for slightly different features. For example grip and cushioning.

If you want quality shoes you will mostly like have to pay a lot of money for them. Real boot makers no doubt make the best quality handmade shoes. You can also get excellent quality in specialist shops that have a small client focus. Shops like this tend to try and attract people that want quality, so have a look. Discount shoe shops will not necessarily be of the highest quality, but this in the cheap prices.
