Doogie Lish Sandtiger, 32, is known as the “Croc hunter” but it’s not as risky as it sounds because he’s in pursuit of the trendy, rubber-like shoes.

Sandtiger owns 2,077 pairs of Crocs – though that number can increase any day – in an array of colours, styles, designs and limited edition collectibles, some from around the globe.
