fake ori

you can if you want

sejak kecil berumur 15 tahun, saya gunakan lines tersebut sebagai motto hidup saya. yalah, zaman kanak-kanak nak ade motto lah, visi lah mislah, tapi tak faham ape benda alah tuh semua. dan sudah menginjak dewasa nih, saya semakin sedar pulak, memang saya ini jenis yang akan berusaha dapatkan apa yang saya nak. bak kata pepatah

hendak seribu daya tak hendak, takleh nak wat apa seribu dalih.

ataupun terinspirasi dari lirik

jika kau fikirkan kau boleh, kau pasti boleh melakukan

TERBARU,
saya ada keinginan yang mendalam untuk discover tentang kasut berjenama CROCS ini.

layari sini untuk maklumat lanjut ya!

sekalipun dari segi rupa paras, ramai yang regards sebagai as ugly as muka buaya, tetapi kebaikan atau kelebihan yang ada padanya undeniable, tidak dapat dinafikan.


n3 saya kali ini adalah berkaitan dengan lambakan jualan non-original crocs di pasaran gelap yang dikatakan sama sebiji macam original dengan harga yang sangat mampu dibeli. untuk rekod, original crocs, bagi orang2 macam saya harganya sangatlah priceyy. mahal okeh.

jadi di paparan ini, saya akan banyak link kan beberapa link hasil pencarian saya dalam misi mencari kebenaran pasti tentang original and fake crocs ini. beberapa fakta akan kita kongsikan bersama.

1. seorang blogger ini, dia dapat bargain di pasar malam tempat dia tinggal untuk crocs kids dengan harga RM30. diantara comment yang dia terima, tertulis begini. mungkin elok untuk rujukan sesiapa nak compare antara crocs original and fake.

…and i can tell you how to differentiate between ori & fake crocs..hehe. there are actually a few things that u can check to determine whether it’s ori or not. 1) ori crocs comes with a hanger attached(unless it went missing when my customers tried it on); 2) the logo of ori crocs is clear & shiny; 3) the sizing for ori crocs is put as W5, W7, M8, M9, C10/11, C6/7 & so on but not put as size 32 or size 40 etc; 4) the writings at the sole is ‘boulder,colorado’ not ‘boulder.colorado’; 5) jibbitz are all removable. as for jibbitz, ori jibbitz will have prints at the back about choking hazards, patent pending among other things but fake jibbitz will not have the prints and will also be of a different material.

can check on more comments from the same link

2. from the article how to spot fake crocs from this link, it says

Crocs is now one of the most "copied" footwear brand in the market. With more than 6 million pairs sold worldwide in 2006,

ia juga ada menyebutkan, walau sebaik mana pun pihak ketiga mampu meniru rupa paras Crocs, namun mereka mgkin tidak dapat meniru material yang digunapakai oleh Crocs, iaitu croslite. Merujuk answers.com croslite bermaksud,

Croslite™ is a proprietary Closed Cell Resin material which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ material is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. It is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. Its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibit bacterial and fungal growth and are non­toxic. This versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water.

3. Cik/ Puan ini pula menceritakan pengalaman beliau puchasing non-original Crocs from an e-bay. Menurut penjual ebay, it was an overrun product which explain its cheaper price. Truely, she was dissapointed to have the fake one since she used to wear the original product. For more details of the experience, click here

4. from the forum i read, they said that the fake one will cause blister, while the original one was super duper comfort and light. dari segi pembuatan, kekemasan adalah antara benda yang paling senang nak dispot while comparing with the original. the fake one is not that kemas.

5. from my personal opinion pulak, kalau nak pakai crocs just sebab jenama, beli yang fake pun takpe. tapi kalau nak mengubati penyakit ke (sebab crocs asalnya direka khas for diabetic patient), eloklah guna yang original untuk mendapatkan hasil yang berkesan. Link dari sini memberitahu

TheCentre for Medicare and Medicaid Services has approved a model of Crocs with molded insoles as diabetic foodware, which help wearers avoid foot injuries. Footwear such as Crocs and flip-flops came under scrutiny in 2006 when children suffered injuries after the shoes became caught in escalator mechanisms. This was due to the softness of the shoe's material combined with the relatively smaller size of children's feet

kalau nak guna sekadar menepati sedikit (minimum) ciri comfy boleh juga yang fake tuh. tapi mungkin material dia tak tahan lasak dan mudah lembik laa.

itu aje ulasan untuk kali ini. nak tahu lebih lanjut harus bertanya kepada yang pernah experience kedua-duanya sekali. kuasa membeli di tangan anda. jadilah pembeli yang bijak. bandingkan harga, bandingkan kualiti.

***update***on 14th sept 2009

i have bought and used the non original crocs. some facts that we can share regarding the difference between the original and non-original
1. pattern: original is more tidy, and smart looking. non-original is quit slovenly.
2. weight: original is more light comparing to the non original about 0.003 gm. though, the non original can be still consider light in weight
3. comfort: i'm trying the original one at the showroom boutique. i can feel the different in term of the comfortness. the non original have more cushion compared to the original one (it based on the trial at showroom boutique only).
4. blister: using the non original one, you may get blister if wearing it without the layer of sock. however, as what amyyna from colorado have said, the original one also can cause blister.

it is worthy and satisfying even with the non-original crocs. why pay more?
