Call them ugly, call them unfashionable, but one thing you can’t call Crocs is “uncomfortable.” Indeed, comfort is one of the reasons this colorful, hip version of a clown shoe has won bazillions of fans worldwide.
But in wintery climes, there’s one big drawback to the classic Croc: The snow can infiltrate all those little holes and frost your tootsies.
Never fear, Mammoth is here.
Mammoth is a new style of Crocs made toasty warm with a synthetic shearling lining called Croslite, which provides waterproof protection and is detachable and machine washable. Other winter-friendly features: The holes on the side are “false” holes, and the heel is a little higher to give increased protection from snow and slush.
It comes in sizes for men, women and kids, in a variety of colors. Retail price is $39.99 for adult sizes, and $29.99 kids. It’s available locally at several stores, including Mountain Chalet, 226 N. Tejon St., or at crocs.com.
