I noticed this some years back here in Scotland when I had an operation. All the staff wore crocs.
But re Sunanda's original comment, perhaps the popularity isn't for the overpriced branded Crocs, but the cheap and easily-available knock-offs. It's possible the affordability of the manufacturing process, rather than after the marketeers have got to them, that makes them popular.
