The Huckberry x Crocs Classic Western Boot is a new footwear style created in collaboration between the brands to provide wearers with a way to easily handle an array of tasks. The shoes toe the line between being quite casual and rather rugged, which makes them a laidback option that's perfect for wear when tackling outdoor activities. The shoes feature the signature silhouette of Crocs Classic clogs, but have been extended upwards to give them a Western boot aesthetic that also provides added protection.
The Huckberry x Crocs Classic Western Boot is constructed using EVA for the lining to give it a waterproof form, while a series of roper-style pull tabs allow for easy on and off.
