veryone knows that standing on Lego is the worst pain known to man, but standing in Lego Crocs – how bad can they be? And are they really worth £199? I got hold of a prototype pair to test how my feet would survive.
The package arrives. My Lego Crocs are here! Little does my first Zoom of the day know I’m still wearing my pyjama bottoms, let alone these comedy monstrosities under the table. They’re keeping my feet warmer than my usual Homer Simpson slippers, so for sheer thermal efficiency, I’m already a reluctant fan.
It takes an hour to get anywhere in London, but with my feet jammed inside two portable Jenga towers, today it takes me two. I clamber precariously up the stairs on the bus, and hang on for dear life down the escalator to the tube. At least I’ve been brought up well enough to never put my feet on the seat. Wouldn’t want to brick the upholstery.
