Lots of Croc talk about fabulous footwear.
When I was a kid, the unofficial start of the summer was always marked by a new pair of Crocs. The versatile sandal was iconic and irreplaceable—when it debuted in 2002, the shoe’s durability and novelty quickly landed them on the feet of every toddler, preteen and granola grandparent in the country. But as clogs shifted out of style, the noble Croc spent years as the butt of a cultural joke.
However, after a surprise resurgence (and an Internet-shattering Balenciaga collaboration) that pretty much nobody saw coming, Crocs are cool again… and they’re bringing clogs with them. That’s right, you heard it here first: the clog is the uncontested shoe of the summer. Here’s our roundup of the coolest, craziest and quirkiest clogs you’ll need to make your mark on post-pandemic society.
