If you have a collection of Jibbitz charms, you might wonder whether you can use them on any pair of shoes. Are Jibbitz universal? The short answer is no. They are designed for Crocs with holes on the upper, though they can sometimes work with other shoes that have similar holes.
In this guide
What Jibbitz Are Designed For
Jibbitz are the official charm brand of Crocs. They are designed to clip into the holes on top of Crocs footwear. Each charm has a button-style back sized to fit those holes securely. Our guide to what Jibbitz charms are explains the brand.
Which Crocs Do Jibbitz Fit?
Jibbitz fit Crocs styles that have holes on the upper, including:
– The Classic Clog and many clog variations.
– Many platform styles.
– Many kids’ styles.
– Some sandals and slides with holes on the straps.
Our guide to classic Crocs explains the design most associated with Jibbitz.
Which Crocs Do Not Fit Jibbitz?
Some Crocs styles do not have holes on the upper, so they cannot hold charms on top. These include many closed work clogs and some boots. Lined Crocs usually still have holes, but the lining inside can make charms feel snugger.
Do Jibbitz Fit Other Shoes?
Jibbitz may fit other shoes that have similar holes, such as some lookalike clogs. However, hole sizes vary between brands. Charms may be too loose and fall out, or too tight to push through.
Imagine trying your favourite charms on a cheap lookalike clog. Some slide in easily but fall out after a few steps, while others will not fit at all. That is why Jibbitz work best with genuine Crocs.
Do Other Charms Fit Crocs?
Many non-Jibbitz shoe charms are sold for Crocs. Some fit well, but quality and fit can vary. If you want charms designed for Crocs, choose official Jibbitz. Our guide to pins for Crocs explains the difference.
Tips for a Good Fit
Push charms fully through the hole, and avoid stretching holes by pulling charms straight out. Our guides on how to put Jibbitz on Crocs and how to remove Jibbitz from Crocs explain the best techniques.
Final Thoughts
Jibbitz are not universal. They are made for Crocs with holes on the upper, such as the Classic Clog. They may fit some other shoes with similar holes, but the fit can vary, so genuine Crocs remain the best match.
Have you ever tried Jibbitz on shoes other than Crocs?
