Crocs surprised its devoted fans when the footwear brand announced a partnership with pet supply company Barkbox and released ‘legitimate Dog Crocs’ for a limited-time only.

Crocs announced the news on Instagram this week with a post that read, ‘When owners start looking like their dogs >>>’ and showed a human wearing tie-dyed pink rubber shoes while their pups showed off a matching ‘dragon fruit’ pair and a ‘green slime’ option.  

On the Crocs website, the brand explains, ‘You asked, we woofed! They’re here – your very own Crocs made just for your four-legged best friend.’ 

The two colorways are both glow-in-the-dark and come in three sizes ‘to accommodate paws of all sizes,’ with matching classic lined Crocs available for adults.

Many followers were excited, although they had questions about their particular pet – and on TikTok, commenters were split, especially because of the high price point.
