In this guide
Classic Clogs
The Classic Clog is the original Crocs design and still the most popular. It has a roomy fit, ventilation holes and a pivoting heel strap. Most are made from Croslite™, which keeps them light and easy to clean. Our guide to classic Crocs explains the design.
Modern Clogs
Crocs also offers newer clog shapes with different looks. The Echo has a sculpted, streetwear-inspired design. The Baya offers a simple, budget-friendly clog. The Bayaband and Crocband add a sporty stripe. Our comparison of Crocs Baya vs. Echo vs. Bayaband vs. Crocband breaks them down.
Platform Clogs
Platform Crocs add height with a thicker sole while keeping the familiar Crocs upper. They are popular with people who want a fashion-forward lift. See our guide to platform Crocs.
Sandals and Slides
For warm weather, Crocs makes open styles. Sandals use straps to hold the foot, and slides have one wide strap and no back. Our guides to Crocs sandals and Crocs slides explain the options.
Slippers and Lined Styles
For colder months, lined clogs and fuzzy slipper-style designs add warmth. Many keep a sturdy Croslite sole for quick trips outside. See our guide to Crocs slippers.
Boots
For rain and cold, Crocs offers boots, from rain boots to padded designs. Our guide to Crocs boots covers them.
Work Clogs
For kitchens, hospitals and long shifts, work clogs such as the Bistro have closed tops and slip-resistant soles. Our comparison of the Crocs Classic Clog vs. Bistro Clog explains why closed styles matter at work.
Comfort Technology Styles
Some Crocs use other comfort technologies, such as LiteRide™ foam, which Crocs describes as softer and lighter than its original Croslite. Our guide to Crocs LiteRide explains more.
How to Choose the Right Type
Imagine planning a week of wearing Crocs. A Classic Clog handles errands, a sandal suits a beach trip, a lined clog keeps you warm on a cold evening and a work clog gets you through a busy shift. Each type has its place.
