Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the rubber clog sandal trend has made an unexpected comeback – and it’s here to stay. It’s not just the OG brand Crocs that’s in demand; Other footwear brands have also jumped onto the bandwagon to come up with their own version of these chunky, hole-y shoes. Though many have given them hate for being ‘ugly’, fans of such shoes swear by them for their comfort, waterproof nature, and general practicality.
If you’re one of those who falls into the latter camp, you’ll have a field day at the first-ever Skechers Foamies concept store in Singapore, which quietly opened its doors at Paya Lebar just recently. This new store has rows and rows of Foamies shoes all in attractive colour-coordinated displays, along with a customisation zone where you can jazz up your shoes with Cali Bits shoe charms – the Skechers equivalent of Crocs’ Jibbitz.
Don’t be mistaken, though – the Skechers Foamies collection doesn’t just comprise sculpted clogs. It also includes sandals, slip-ons, and fitted flip flops made from a flexible, cushioned foam material, all sans the holes. These are also available at the concept store, along with other accessories like backpacks, socks, caps, shoe bags and shoe-cleaning materials.
The Skechers Foamies concept store is located on the first level of SingPost Centre at #01-113, just a stone’s throw from Paya Lebar MRT station. Don’t confuse this with the Skechers outlet store in the same building, which is located at #01-101/102.
