Tried and Tested: taking Crocs new boots on a trial through London

In celebration of ‘Croctober’, we enlisted presenter Maxine Williams to trek through the city in the brand’s new Classic Unfurgettable Leopard Knee High Boot

As the days get shorter and wardrobes start trading sandals for something warmer, Crocs™ has found a way to stay in rotation all year round. To see if their latest creation could really take on the chill, we sent our presenter, Maxine Williams, out to Primrose Hill and Camden to put the Classic Unfurgettable Leopard Knee High Boot through its paces. On a day out in London, we see Williams play football, run around, and then hop on the tube to test out the shoe in action.

Launching October 23, the boot is Crocs’ tallest silhouette to date, standing at 90cm tall. The boots are made from plush, vegan leopard-print fur and detailed with 17 Jibbitz™ charms, chains, and metal embellishments that can be rearranged for a more personal touch. Practical design details, like a backstrap and clip fastening, keep it wearable beyond the novelty factor, while the signature Crocs cushioning makes it as comfortable as the brand’s classic clogs. The campaign enlists the likes of Millie Bobby Brown, who was photographed wearing her pair in the driver’s seat of her car.

This launch is part of Croctober, an annual month-long celebration of self-expression, creativity, and community. As Crocs’ Chief Marketing Officer Carly Gomez explains, “Croctober is our love letter to the fans. They’ve always been the heartbeat of our brand, and this year, we’re celebrating their creativity, individuality, and boldness in ways they have truly only dreamed of.” 

Croctober brings new drops, surprise giveaways, and even a 12-hour TikTok shop livestream on “Crocs Day” – all centred on fans who push the brand into unexpected spaces.

Watch the video above to check out the shoes in action. Head here to shop the new boot.
