Although it might be hard to equate a Crocs clog with luxury footwear, the brand has slowly worked to upgrade its lineup to appear much more elevated. With recent collaborations with brands like Barbour, the Crocs brand has added sophisticated details to its products that make them seem much more luxurious. Now, the brand is taking matters in-house with a new release that takes the Classic Clog and turns it into a winter-ready luxury slipper you can wear outside. While the latest release utilizes the traditional and signature clog silhouette from Crocs, subtle upgrades have elevated the design into a slipper that works for almost any cold-weather environment. Just in time for the start of the colder months, these lined Crocs bring an elevated style that many aren’t used to seeing from Crocs until now.
