From the Oscar’s to the Love Island fire pit – there’s no doubt Crocs have made a pandemic comeback.
On Thursday, the chunky shoe-maker reported record sales of $640m (£465m) in the three months to 30 June – nearly double the same period last year.
And the trend shows no sign of slowing down – the firm raised its revenue outlook for the rest of the year.
The company’s boss said there was strong demand for the shoes globally.
“We continue to see strong consumer demand for the Crocs brand globally,” chief executive Mr Rees said.
People have turned to the footwear company for foamy clogs to pair with their lockdown outfits.
Boosted by customers staying at home, the Colorado-based firm said on Thursday that digital sales were up 25.4% and make up more than a third of total sales.
