My brother bought clog-style shoes for his son and daughter, plus one more pair for a young relative. We took photos and videos the day they tried them on. This page shows exactly what we saw, with no stock photos and no made-up test results.
In this guide
One honest note first: these are not genuine Crocs. One pair has “Fashion” printed on the strap, and we didn’t find the Crocs logo on any of them. They’re the kind of clog-style shoes sold in markets and online everywhere. Many parents buy them thinking they’re Crocs, which is exactly why we’re sharing this.
Key takeaways
- The kids were excited straight away. The light-up charm was the big hit.
- Easy slip-on and off, even for the toddler.
- Light-up charms run on tiny batteries. Check they’re sealed and can’t be pulled off.
- They are lookalikes, not Crocs. Check the logo and the seller before you pay Crocs prices.
First steps in the new pairs
Shoes went on and he was off around the room, smiling. No complaints, no stopping to fix the strap. For a small kid, that’s the main test: will they actually wear them?

The light-up charm
This was the feature the kids wanted to show everyone. Tap the charm and it glows, switching colors. It’s a big reason these sell: real Kids’ Crocs come plain, while these arrive already decorated, with lights.
Parent safety check: light-up charms contain small batteries. Button batteries are dangerous if swallowed. Before you hand them to a toddler, check that the battery compartment is sealed, that the charm can’t be pulled out of the shoe, and keep any loose charms away from young children.
The toddler’s pair
Little feet, big shoes. The wide, rounded front leaves room for toes, and a toddler can push them on without help. On smooth tile, watch the first few steps: clogs can slide on wet or polished floors, real Crocs included.
A pair that’s already been worn
The pink pair shows what a few days outside does: dust in the texture and scuffs around the sole. Plain water and mild soap will clean most of it. See our cleaning hacks.
