Why Ugly shoes are this year's hottest trend
Love them or hate them, one of this year鈥檚 hottest trends is 'Ugly' shoes. Sales of dad sandals and Birkenstocks have soared. Crocs have just reported record sales worldwide of 拢465 million in the three months to the end of June. Just a few years back Crocs were named among Time magazines 50 Worst Inventions, and the company almost went bust. Now it鈥檚 collaborating with celebrities and social influencers, and some of the styles and colours are selling out. Presented by Winifred Robinson.
