Although we haven’t managed to get our hands on them, Crocs‘ new range of winter boots made with their trademark Croslite technology look pretty good.
The shoes have come a long way from the initial can’t-be-missed Croc sandals that broke across South African shores a couple of years ago and the range has widened to include a large variety of footwear. For winter 2013, the range even includes a lightweight hiking boot.
The Crocs converse-esque sneakers also featured in the January 2013 Readers’ Issue of Getaway Magazine. Our editor Cameron Ewart-Smtih wrote
I’ve come to love my Crocs for travelling: they’re light, they don’t smell, you can wash them in a machine and they’re extremely comfortable. Oh, and did I say they were light?
You can wear them smart (people simply assume you’re a rock star), you can wear them casual, you can wear them with shorts or jeans and at a push you could even do a fair day hike in them. They’re widely available and will work for women too.
