A trip to our local outlet mall rarely goes by without a visit to Crocs, so my nine-year-old can add to her seemingly infinite supply of Jibbitz.
However, this weekend the Croc store was chock full of frightful footwear in celebration of spooky season, and I was compelled to share some of the spoils.
The first style I spotted was the Wookiee shoes, which admittedly aren’t the most Halloween-esque of the bunch, but still seem to fit the bill. They’re furry on the inside, come complete with a set of Wookiee-inspired jibbs, and could theoretically make for a safer Trick-or-Treating experience for the Star Wars kids.
Right around the corner, the Jurassic Park Crocs caught my eye — and their eye caught me. Similar to the Wookiee feet, this pair is also not intrinsically spooky, but any shoe that watches you seems to qualify for the list.
Sizing up to a more obvious celebration of the season are the Count Chocula pair; yet another brand partnership, if not an unexpected one. Let’s all hope there are no common ingredients afoot.
At last, the All Hallows hoofers! These shiny, black clogs come in orange and purple, and are perfect to fill with any number (well, 26 to be exact) of seasonal Jibbitz.
The brand-deals continue among the Jibbitz population, too — a full card of Hocus Pocus or The Nightmare Before Christmas designs will set you back about $20, and both offer shoe options as well.
Some are quaint and whimsical, like the candy corn and the candy apple. Others pay homage to classic horror characters like the Wolfman, and more recent scream-kings like Chucky and Michael Myers.
Further investigation at crocs.com reveals even more options, including the amazingly-named I Am Bat Clog, a classic skull print, and a furry blue monster. Treat aficionados will appreciate the Hershey and Reese’s pairs, and it’s nice to see a glow-in-the-dark product that isn’t green. There’s even a Dia de los Muertos pair, which might be my favorite. And to kick it all home, CrocSocks come in bat, snake, skeleton, and many more styles.
