Crocs, those ubiquitous clown clogs everyone seems to be wearing, has announced their plans to bring 13 new designs to stores this fall. They're breaking the clog mold and evolving into a full, fashion-focused line of comfort footwear. The new Fall 2007 line integrates leather, canvas and suede and includes three new men’s models, four new women’s models, two new unisex models and four new kids models.
Most of the new designs are quite cute, ranging from sassy wedge boots, high heeled Mary Janes, and rugged hiking shoes. But what would happen if Crocs and that other passe footwear juggernaut, Ugg, had a baby? The Croc Mammoth. One of the new winter designs is a shearling lined clog. The strapless slip-on maintains the traditional Swiss cheese style clog overflowing with wooly comfort to keep feet cozy.
