Crocs is no stranger to stirring up polarizing opinions when it comes to fashion choices and its latest drop does just that -- the Toe Jibbitz was first thought to be a simple April Fool's prank but has since proven to be real. The charms are available to shop online at Crocs.
It may be unsettling as it creates the illusion of human toes poking out of the perforated holes on the signature shoes. Over the classic Croc's forefoot are 13 holes, which means that wearers can waltz around with up to 26 Jibbitz at one time. The Toe Jibbitz are available for a pack of five -- it is priced at USD 19.99 and even comes in three colorways varying in skin tone and toe nail shades.
