I spent $300 on Crocs — these are the actually-cute styles I wear every week

I’ve been a fashion editor for over a decade, and at no point in my career did I ever think I’d write what I’m about to write. Ready for my big reveal? I wear Crocs. Well, I do now, that is. Despite rave reviews from friends and family members about how comfortable Crocs were, I just could not bring myself to wear rubber clogs.

What finally convinced me? A collaboration with one of my all-time favorite brands, that’s what. I was strolling the mall when I caught sight of, what’s that, a Marimekko print in the Crocs display window?! I beelined it into the store and, in record time, went from a Crocs hater to a Crocs superfan in five seconds flat. Half an hour and $300 later, I was walking around with a bag full of Crocs.
It’s been a few months since I jumped on the Crocs bandwagon and I have to admit, I regret waiting this long to buy a pair. They feel amazing on my feet, never rub or cause blisters, and yes, there are some actually-cute styles out there.
I don’t know where you are on the Crocs spectrum. Maybe you’ve known about their virtues for years and years, or maybe you still need convincing like I did. Either way, I’m here to share my recent haul with you to inspire your spring and summer footwear purchases. I’m pretty proud of the bright, fun finds I snagged, and I think you’ll like them, too. Best of all, they’re all wonderfully comfortable and will only enhance your fab outfits this season.
Marimekko Classic Clog
My fatal flaw? I have no chill when it comes to things I like. I have multiples of many things in my wardrobe, now including these floral print clogs. Hey, hear me out — I can’t wear the same pair outside that I wear around the house. I live in New York City, after all. All jokes aside, these are hands-down my favorite from my latest shopping excursion. The colors are vivid, the print is iconic Marimekko and the shoes themselves are lightweight and comfy with or without socks… so I bought two pairs. Also, I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve received while wearing these. I basically had a full photoshoot with some salespeople in Nordstrom who couldn’t stop fangirling these Crocs.

Marimekko Classic Sandal
I was initially on the fence about these Crocs sandals, but decided to go for it because I’m a sucker for anything Marimekko. Now that I’ve had them for a week or so, I’m glad I grabbed them. The soles on these are squishier than the clogs and I wear them a ton around the house. When the weather finally stays warm, I plan on wearing these out with white jeans for a pop of color.

Kids’ Marimekko Classic Clog
Fun fact: If your foot is small and narrow enough, you can probably get away with wearing kids’ size Crocs. My adult clogs are a women’s size 8, and as luck would have it, that means I can also fit the youth size J6. So, of course, that meant I just had to have these pink and red Marimekko clogs, too. (We’ve already established that I’m an awful shopaholic with no off switch, so don’t judge me.) These are more playful and whimsical than the adult version; I can’t wait to wear them with dresses all summer long.

Something weird happens when you go into a Crocs store. You go in for one thing, and then suddenly you see all these other cute things, and boom
