crocs

Mason's birthday is coming up and I've been scouring the internet, trying to find the perfect gift. He is in dire need of some new sandals. Currently he is wearing the sandals from last year. They still fit but we are reaching the barely stage.
I have never worn a pair of Crocs shoes but I found some very cute kids shoes. I know they are very lightweight and comfortable.
Mason loves Lightning McQueen. Crocs happens to carry a McQueen shoe. But, as I kept searching, I found a Mickey shoe where the description fits more of what I'm looking for. Phrases like, "secure fit upper designed for active kids" and "bacteria and odor resistant" (his current sandals apparently do not share this description). Then there are the cool kids athens flip-flop. But the last time I tried to get Mason to wear a flip-flop, he did not like the thong part between his big and second toe. To tell you the truth, thongs never have been comfortable...but I guess that is a different story.
Of course, I had to keep searching and got a little distracted and wished I owned a pair since our current weather resembles much of the state of Washington rather than a desert climate. Then I saw these and wondered, "Where in the world do the 'exotic beaches of malindi' reside?" So I had to google Malindi and found this. Interesting. Never thought of Kenya as having "exotic" beaches. Now I have to add Malindi to my list of "places to see before I hit 70" because truly, I want to enjoy my vacations rather than hobble through them with a fannie pack and a bright pink cap that says, "The World's Best Grandma". Because you know I'm totally going to wear that when I'm 70.
So back to the Crocs...
I would love to know your thoughts. :)
