Breathability and sweat

Classic Crocs breathe through their vents, which keeps feet cooler in summer. Lined Crocs trap warmth, which is great in winter but can feel sweaty indoors if your home is warm. If your feet run hot, lined Crocs may feel too warm except on cold days. If they run cold, lined Crocs are a big upgrade.
