Summer's Craziest Shoe Fad Likely to Carry Over Through Winter

With the colder temperatures creeping in, that means morning frost, damp grass, and even a little snow isn't too far off. Fans of the ugliest shoes on earth, a.k.a. Crocs, who thought that they might have to give up their comfy shoes in favor of more season-appropriate footwear can now take comfort in Crocs' latest creation: fur-lined Crocs.

The fashion world and anyone else with even a modicum of style, however, will now have to endure yet another season of the eye-sore shoes. The landfills that will one day be filled with unwanted Crocs (once the fad passes), also collectively weep.

Hoping to cash in with the colder weather, Croc is now introducing a waterproof, fur-lined version of the popular rubbery shoe called the "mammoth". It's expected to be a smash-hit, quickly surpassing sales of the wintertime rival Ugg-boot. If there's more than a couple inches of snow, however, these shoes aren't going to do you a bit of good, so Crocs better get working on a "boot" version fast.

If the temperature heats up unexpectedly, wearers of the furry Crocs can take out the removable lining. The shoes are also available in more autumn-friendly colors, including khaki, oatmeal, sky blue, chocolate and black.

The newest addition to the Croc family has been on sale in Croc-stocking stores, and at mall kiosks that also sell the shoes for about three weeks now. They are priced at $39.99 in the U.S., and £34.95 in the U.K.

Both celebrities and everyday people alike have become fans of the shoes, with sales of the original Croc surpassing 20 million worldwide in the last 12 months.
