However, there are reports that there have been a number of cases in which the feet of young children wearing such shoes have been rolled into escalators abroad. The reporter investigated this.

Hole shoes are clipped by escalator
Because of the many holes in the surface, this type of sandal is vividly called "hole shoes." The shoes are simple in design and easy to wear. They are also regarded as the trend coordinates of sandals. However, according to sources, there have been many accidents attesting that wearing such shoes can easily be rolled into an escalator and cause safety accidents.
According to media reports, in June last year, at the Atlanta Airport, a 3-year-old boy wearing a CROCS “hole shoe†caused a deep-seated wound due to the escalator pinching his toes. Of the seven escalator accidents that occurred at the airport last year, two were related to CROCS. In Singapore, a two-year-old girl wearing a hole in a shoe was also caught in an escalator and the big toe was torn off by the elevator.
According to statistics, from June to November 2006, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan received a total of 65 complaints about the wearing of CROCS sandal wearer's foot caught by an escalator, including toe folds, nails being lifted and other injuries, and the cause of the injury. Mostly on the escalator, the shoes caught between the gaps caused toe injuries, foot injuries or toenail injuries. Most of the victims were children.
Analyze the reasons
Soft and non-slip texture
Why is wearing this hole shoes prone to accidents? A few days ago, the reporter contacted Zhan Hongling, director of activities of CROCS Shanghai. "Until now, we have not received a complaint." She said that the accident did not directly relate to the quality of the shoes themselves, and should be used improperly by children. "Because when the escalator is in use, the child should be accompanied by an adult or holding it. This is not related to what shoes to wear."
At the same time, the headquarters of the company had previously issued a statement that many of the escalation accidents that occurred in 10 countries, including the United States, were caused by "the escalator user's own misbehavior," rather than the shoes themselves.
Mr. Wang, a children's shoe consultant in a supermarket in Chengdu, believes that the hole-shaped shoes themselves are very soft texture, and parents generally buy shoes for children to buy larger ones, coupled with its non-slip is very good, the possibility of problems is relatively large. "This shoe itself is relatively relaxed. The child's feet move in and out, and if he does not pay attention, he may run into the edge of the escalator." Mr. Wang analyzed that due to its strong grip, the child's feet are not easily removed. Therefore, it is easy to cause injury.

What are the sales of hole shoes in Chengdu? A few days ago, the reporter saw on the first floor of the Chengdu Taihua Shopping Mall and the new Zhongxing Plaza that there were a lot of people who rushed to buy Dongdong shoes, and their prices were very cheap. The selling price was generally 20-50 yuan per pair. However, most of them did not mark the brand names, and they felt very light in their hands. The work was also very rough. The reporter came close to hearing that there was a strong plastic smell.
In Chengdu Wangfujing CROCS counter, filled with various styles of hole shoes. Men's shoes, women's shoes and children's shoes are available, and the price is above 200 yuan. "I have been selling for a long time. I have not heard that wearing this will cause problems." The salesperson looked blankly. She told reporters, "When the business is good, it will sell hundreds of pairs a day."
The reporter observed in the store for about ten minutes and there were six citizens who came to consult and purchase. One of the parents also took his daughter to try it on his own. "Now the child is active and easy to sweat. Heard that this can absorb sweat and it is lighter to wear. Try it." The parent said he was unaware of the escalator pinch. Several other buyers also stated that they did not hear that the escalator would pinch their feet.
