Adding Jibbitz is one of the most fun parts of owning Crocs. It only takes a few seconds per charm, but a few simple tips make it easier and help your charms stay secure. Here is how to put Jibbitz on Crocs the right way.
In this guide
What You Need
– Your Crocs, clean and dry.
– Your Jibbitz charms.
That is all. No tools are needed.
Step 1: Choose the Hole
Decide where you want the charm to go. Holes on the top of the upper are the most common choice, because they show the charm clearly. Our guide on why Crocs have holes explains their purpose.
Step 2: Angle the Charm
Hold the charm with the button-style back facing the hole. Tilt it slightly so one edge of the button goes into the hole first.
Step 3: Push It Through
Gently press the rest of the button through the hole until it pops into place. You may need to squeeze the area around the hole slightly to help it through.
Step 4: Check It Is Secure
Give the charm a gentle tug. It should stay firmly in place. If it feels loose, push it in again or try a different hole.
Tips for Tight Holes
New Crocs can have slightly tighter holes. Work slowly and avoid forcing the charm with too much pressure, which could damage the hole. Pushing from the inside of the shoe outwards while guiding the charm from the outside can make it easier.
Arranging Your Charms
Imagine decorating a new pair of white Crocs. You place your initials near the toe, a small charm on each side and one favourite character in the middle. Spreading charms out keeps the shoe flexible and makes each charm easy to see.
Avoid filling every hole, especially on the bending part of the upper, because too many charms can make the shoe feel stiff.
Kids and Jibbitz
Older children often enjoy adding charms themselves. For younger children, remember that Jibbitz are small parts and are not suitable for children who put objects in their mouths. Check charms regularly.
Removing and Swapping Charms
When you want a new look, you can remove charms easily. Our guide on how to remove Jibbitz from Crocs explains how to take them out without stretching the holes.
