Crocs to make trainers

Comfort footwear specialist Crocs is to produce a trainer product for release next summer.

Available in four colours, the Axis will contain the company’s signature Croslite, creating a custom-fit for the wearer and making the shoe lightweight, just-style.com reports.

Spring/summer 2009 will also see Crocs launch a new collection of t-shirts, hoodies and accessories for men, women and children, the news provider said.

The news follows the launch of the Malindi, a new sling back shoe for the summer from Crocs.

According to mpdclick.com, the shoe is "a stylish, fun flat that allows feet to breathe in warm weather" and also features Croslite material.

In addition to these new styles, the company has launched a range of replacement heel straps to enable its clogs wearers to customise their shoes.

The Strapitz, which are designed to fit into strap fastenings on Crocs’ clogs, are available in a range of bright colours and feature images including frogs, flowers, tigers and angel wings.
