Crocs are one of the “It” shoes of summer 2020. No, we’re not just saying that to get you inflamed; we’ve got the data to prove it. Searches forCrocs,鞋子一旦寒酸的代名词,傻傻的style and most often worn by nurses and chefs, have increased 32 percent month-on-month according to the global fashion search platformLyst. And that number is only going up.
It shouldn’t come as too much of a shock to hear that the bulky but light-as-air clogs are rising in popularity once more given that athleisure, normcore and dad-approved fashion are now established as long-lasting fashion movements. People seem to be less concerned with clothing that looks sleek, chic or even flattering, and are now intensely focused on comfort. Add into the mix a global pandemic that has many of us stuck at home and wondering exactlywhat walking around our homes barefoot is doing to our arches(hint: nothing good), and it feels only logical that supportive, affordable Crocs would become in-demand among influencers, editors and the fashion obsessed.
While Tim Gunn may have once referred to Crocs as a “plastic hoof,” the foam clogs have come a long way since their initial rise in 2006 and the brand now offers numerous, non-hoof-like styles to choose from.
