Fit

Sneakers fit closer than clogs, so don’t apply Classic Crocs’ “size down” rule. Start with your usual sneaker size. Wide feet should check the fit notes and reviews for the specific version.

Who the Pacer is for

Think of the Pacer as a comfortable, casual everyday sneaker: school runs, errands, travel days, a light walk. People who like Crocs because of the soft foam, but need laces and a closed heel for walking or dress codes, are the target. If you need a stable shoe for running training or long hikes, choose a dedicated running or hiking shoe.

Care

Most Pacer versions use textile or knit uppers, so they don’t rinse clean like a foam clog. Spot clean the upper with mild soap and cool water, and air dry away from heat. Heat damages Crocs foam.
