The following day, I was confronted with a TikTok post that I immediately shared with the Clog House: NYC-based fashion/lifestyle content creator Caroline Sacks, a.k.a. @caro__beth, predicted that everyone would be clomping around in these waterproof slippers in the transitional weeks to come. “I was on the hunt for the oh-so-sold-out Tazz Slipper and came across its ugly stepsister, the Tasman X,” Caroline says of her kismet discovery. “The chunky shoe reminded me of waterproof sandals from my childhood (e.g. Keens, Merrells), and the neon pink gave me, a seasonally depressed New Yorker, immediate serotonin,” She adds: “Sure, it isn’t as effortlessly cool as the Tazz Slipper, but neither am I.”
