Lofu Shoes Could Endanger Crocs

By now, Crocs have become globally notorious for there supreme practicality and comfort, the only problem was that they weren't exactly the most aesthetically appealing shoe on the market. The new Lofu shoes have combined all the best qualities of Crocs with a better good looking, and trendier design.

The material is almost the same as that used on Crocs. Cellulose foam material makes Lofu shoes extremely lightweight, making it feel as if the the wearer has little more than socks on. Another top-notch characteristic that threatens Crocs is the Lofu shoes' extremely durable and very easy to clean surface.
