This is a random question, but I'm confused and assume there are many wiser than myself who regularly read whiteblaze. So.

What's the deal with Waldies and Crocs? Are these different products by the same company, or made by entirely different companies, or...? They seem far too similar to not be made by the same people, but I swear I've seen Crocs that seem much more "plastic-y", not to mention more "mainstream" than Waldies. And then there's Holey Shoes, which I at first assumed was the parent company...but now I'm not so sure.... Googling all these things just confused me more. Someone help!
