So she stepped on the escalator, I was beside her and then my sister was behind her, one step behind her. Midway through she started screaming, she started saying, 'my foot, my foot.' And so I immediately grabbed her, and then, I already knew then that her foot was caught on the escalator. So I grabbed her.

Medium of people buying Crocs shoes\u003cbr/\u003e34. Wide of people buying shoes\u003cbr/\u003eAt rail stations and shopping malls around the world, there are reports of people, particularly young children, getting their toes caught in escalators. \u003cbr/\u003eThe one common theme seems to be the clunky, soft-soled clogs known by the name of the most popular brand, Crocs.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the largest United States subway systems, the Washington Metro, has even posted ads warning riders about wearing such shoes on its moving stairways.\u003cbr/\u003eThe colourful rubber Crocs shoes have been a footwear sensation. \u003cbr/\u003eRepresenting a consumer demand for comfort over elegance they have become popular across the world with adults and children alike. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to reports appearing across the United States and as far away as Singapore and Japan, entrapments occur because of two of the biggest selling points of shoes like Crocs: their flexibility and grip. \u003cbr/\u003eSome report the shoes get caught in the \"teeth\" at the bottom or top of the escalator, or in the crack between the steps and the side of the escalator. \u003cbr/\u003eOlivia Moreno's three year old daughter had her foot badly injured when the Croc shoes that she was wearing got stuck in an escalator in a mall in the Filipino capital, Manila, recently (August 19, 2007). \u003cbr/\u003eOlivia was so cross when she learnt that this wasn't an isolated incident that she wrote about her experience on the internet.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe Hong Kong Consumer Council says that in 2007 June there was a spate of 6 accidents involving children of under 10 years wearing the plastic sandals, who had their feet caught and jammed into the escalators causing injuries to the foot. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Japan, the government warned consumers last week that it has received 39 reports of sandals, mostly Crocs or similar products, becoming stuck in escalators from late August through early September. \u003cbr/\u003eThe reports of serious injuries have all involved young children. \u003cbr/\u003eCrocs are commonly worn by children as young as 2. The company introduced shoes in its smallest size, 4/5, this past spring.\u003cbr/\u003eMost of the reports appear to have involved small children, some as young as two years old.\u003cbr/\u003eOlivia re-tells what happened to her daughter. \u003cbr/\u003e\"She started saying, 'my foot, my foot.' And so I immediately grabbed her, and then, I already knew then that her foot was caught on the escalator,\" related Moreno of the horror of seeing her daughter crying and bleeding on the foot.\u003cbr/\u003eShe took her daughter immediately to the hospital and although two toes were badly bruised the hospital diagnosed it as nothing serious.\u003cbr/\u003eThe shoes were given back to them immediately after the incident after someone picked it up from the escalator.\u003cbr/\u003eStill, despite costing $30-$65 or three to six times the average worker's wage, the popular shoe brand has a loyal following among the middle class in the Philippines.\u003cbr/\u003eJojo Serrano, mother of seven-year old Joaquin, says she knows about the incidents involving the shoes but would still let her son use them and, although worried that it can lead to accidents, would just take the proper precautions while her child is in the mall.\u003cbr/\u003eThe shoe's advertising says they are \"an all purpose shoe for comfort and fashion\", but Hong Kong based physiotherapist Ada Yu said the design of the shoes is too loose to fit the foot. \u003cbr/\u003eYu says if the material of the shoes gets stuck in the gap of the escalator then the foot could get caught. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says that children are particularly vulnerable as they can't resist the force of the escalator's pull. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Beijing, one shopper says he is wary about buying the shoes after hearing about the stories about injuries.  \u003cbr/\u003eAnother says that so long as you are careful there should not be a problem. \u003cbr/\u003eCrocs has around 10 outlets in big shopping malls in Beijing, most of them are in shopping malls aim for high-end shoppers.\u003cbr/\u003eCrocs Inc., is based in the US state of Colorado. \u003cbr/\u003eThey declined a request for an on -camera interview but in a statement said it does not keep records of the reasons for customer-service calls. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the company said it is aware of \"very few\" problems relating to accidents involving the shoes, which are made of a soft, synthetic resin.\u003cbr/\u003eKeyword-wacky\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read
