Episode description

It's hard to think of a shoe that's had a better decade than the Croc. So how did the widely reviled foam clog transform from dadcore into high fashion darling? The answer tells us a lot about how anything gets to be cool. Today on Schmeitgeist, the unlikely Crocs cult and the inner workings of the trend curve.

Schmeitgeist is a weekly pop culture podcast from ABC Everyday about why we love what we love, hosted by Ange Lavoipierre.
