Her Crocs are hard to miss: lime green, a muted neon. They are spattered with tiny, rubber ornaments like two wearable Christmas trees. Spongebob Squarepants. Patrick Star. A rubber shark. The Starbucks Coffee logo. They bounce into the post-match press conference as if buoyed by their very own bespoke trampoline technology.
It is not for a lack of trying on the part of Cardiff City’s Ffion Price that her team have yet to embrace her zeal for the American foam clog. In fact, if the versatile full-back by night/school teacher by day had it her way, the entire league would be swimming in Crocs rather than the Adidas and Puma slides which dictate the current fashion zeitgeist.
“I would just like to give a shout-out to Crocs,” Price declared in the post-match spotlight after her side’s 8-0 victory over Abergavenny in front of a record Welsh domestic crowd at Cardiff City Stadium. “I have got them on right now. I’ve had a photo in my Crocs and we really are in full Croc mode. So I’d really appreciate it if they sponsored us by now.”
