Cowboy Crocs: The Strange Boots You Didn’t See Coming
October is known for beautiful fall colors, cool mornings, and pumpkin spice lattes. We see a line of Oktoberfest beers available at restaurants and in stores. Larger-than-life skeletons start showing up in yards of houses half their height. October is the start of the 4th quarter for many businesses.
Turns out, October is also notable for Colorado company Crocs. It is Croctober.
To celebrate Croctober, the company known for its casual, lightweight, vented, and easy-to-get-on-and-off foam clog is debuting a cowboy boot.
You'll have to wait until Oct. 23 (Croc Day) to order your limited-edition metallic Crockskin cowboy boots with spinning spurs. For just $120, you can get your own pair of Crocs Classic Cowboy Boots.
The popularity of Crocs is fascinating and very profitable. The combined revenue of Crocs and their recently acquired HEYDUDE for 2022 was $3.6 billion. Crocs are sold in more than 85 countries.
Crocs is based in Broomfield, Colorado, and started in 2002 as a slip-resistant boat shoe that could float. That's right, this shoe was made for water activities.
Crocs are fully customizable with so many colors, designs, and Jibbitz charms that can be clipped to the ventilation holes of your Croc.
People love to hate Crocs. It doesn't seem to matter. When you look at the popularity of all the foam slides and shoes now available in the footwear market, there's no denying they are the spawn of the ease and comfort of Crocs.
