The reason why wearing Crocs on the escalator is prohibited is mainly because it is easy to cause safety accidents, especially for children wearing Crocs. It is easy to cause accidents when wearing Crocs on the escalator. The main reasons are:
The toe of Crocs is wide (about 20% wider than normal shoes). In order to ensure comfort, the plastic is very thick and the upper is very high. Therefore, even if you stand in a normal position, the toe is much closer to the serrated part between the two elevator steps than normal shoes; at the same time, due to the lack of friction between the plastic sole and the foot, people's usual standing habits will cause the shoe body to move forward. In addition, the friction between the plastic and the elevator is relatively large, so it is not easy to detect when it is caught. By the time the foot feels it, it is already impossible to pull it out, which is easy to cause accidents.
In short, the material of Crocs is soft and it is easy to fit when rubbing against the surface of metal or other objects. If you don't have time to lift your feet, it is easy to fit the front and side teeth of the escalator step, causing suction and rolling into the gap between the steps and the apron board.
