Everything you need to know about Crocs

It’s the 21st century trend that no one saw coming – but we’re so glad they're making the waves they deserve! Crocs are the footwear on everyone’s wishlist in 2024, bringing comfort like no other to feet of all ages.

From the classic unisex styles for everyday wear, to platform designs and Disney-inspired prints, discover our guide to the best Crocs to suit the whole family – plus answers to some common FAQs to help kickstart your new obsession…

What Crocs size should I get?

Finding the right shoe size when you’re shopping online can be difficult – but luckily, we can help. If you’ve never worn a pair of Crocs before, here’s how to find the right size for you:

  1. Head over to the product page of the Crocs you want to buy.

  2. Click the ‘What’s My Size’ hyperlink (located just under the list of available shoe sizes).

  3. Answer a few simple questions and let our TrueFit technology find the best Crocs size for your feet.

Don't forget - Crocs don’t offer half-sizes, so you’ll need to round up or down, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.

What’s more? If you do have wide feet, most Crocs claim to have a roomy fit – meaning wider feet should slot perfectly into a standard size.

Can you put Crocs in the washing machine?

The PCCR material that makes up the Crocs composition may not be able to withstand high temperatures, causing them to warp if you do decide to put them in the washing machine. Crocs should be hand-washed at all times to avoid damaging your shoes. However, if your Crocs feature a lining, the brand recommend to put the lining in a mesh fabric, or use a delicate machine wash cycle of no more than 30 degrees.

Are Crocs meant to be worn with socks?

Crocs style isn’t one-size-fits-all – meaning if you prefer to wear socks, you absolutely can! Our advice would be to dress accordingly to the weather: if it’s cold out, socks might just give you the extra cosy feeling you need to keep warm. Sun’s shining? Let your feet breathe and enjoy the sock-free life as you go about your summer business. The choice is yours!

How to style Crocs

Put simply – you can style your Crocs however you like! If you want to show off the latest colourway or the new Jibbitz in your collection, opt for tapered trousers or jeans, so your shoes can become the focal point of your outfit, catching the eye of passers-by. Alternatively, if you’re choosing comfort above all-else, but your chosen Crocs don’t technically go with your ‘fit, try wearing baggy or wide-leg trousers to disguise your look from the ankle-down. It’s a win-win situation – you get to stay comfortable and the world’s none-the-wiser! Feeling energetic? Don’t forget to put your Crocs in sports-mode to really look the part…
