I just got this back from the good folks at [Crocs](http://www.crocs.com/home.jsp) shoes > [@](#): > > Bob, > > This is a rumor, said to have started with a camp counselor who boiled a Croc, and cut it into pieces, substituting the actual shoe with candy before he fed it to the camp children. Although Crocs are non-toxic, there is little, if any, nutritional value in the material we use. We highly recommend you do not eat or attempt to eat your Crocs. > > Thank You > Crocs Internet Services Now we know.

Hey, tell that to my dog. He’s never met a shoe that wasn’t edible.
