• "Cruggs" is the colloquial term for the Croc Mammoth Shoe—a cold-weather variation of the Crocs plastic clog, lined with synthetic fur. Because this particular model of Crocs resembles Ugg Boots (the other major footwear trend of the mid-'00s) it has gained a nickname that implies a hybrid between Crocs and Uggs.

• Cold Weather Crocs

  One of over 40 variations on the Crocs design, Crocs Mammoths differ from basic Crocs in several ways. The synthetic fur lining adapts what was previously a semi-sandal into an insulated, winter-ready shoe. Rather than using a strap system, these Crocs are held on by the snug fit of the thick lining. Lastly, Cruggs leave out the side-holes standard on most Crocs, presumably for extra insulation.

• Criticism

  Crocs Mammoth shoes have been met some of the same withering online fashion criticism as their fur-less predecessors.

  • "The only thing in the world I hate more than Crocs are Uggs. Evidently, the two have mated, spawning this vile demon bastard footwear spotted recently in Houston. Where it is 100 degrees."

  • "Help me, people. I’ve had enough…I’m ready to have a Croc & Ugg bonfire party. I’m sure the melting Croc material will tear a hole in the ozone from the fumes, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take to eradicate these eye sores."
