Crocs

Are you searching for a super-comfy pair of clogs to wear at the beach, by the pool, or around the home? Check out the JD Sports Australia range of Crocs shoes for kids and adults, available in different styles, including the Echo and Classic Clog. These ultra-quirky items of footwear are purpose-built for casual settings, providing breathability, a lightweight frame, and underfoot cushioning.

Why Are Crocs Shoes So Popular?

Since landing in 2002, Crocs shoes have been at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to comfort and casual style. Not only do they make good use of the brand’s signature Croslite (a waterproof material initially seen in the boating industry), but they also boast a colourful appearance that’s unlike that of other footwear options on the market.

You may be wondering whose genius idea it was to take Croslite and implement it into casual footwear. The credit goes to Scott Seamans, Lyndon Hanson, and George Boedbecker Jr. While on their travels around the Caribbean, these three innovators saw potential in boating clogs and quickly secured the rights to the design from then owner Foam Creations.

The first model of Crocs, the Beach, launched not long after, and its presence at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in Florida didn’t go unnoticed. Every pair—all 200 of them—was snatched up, proving that demand for these unconventional shoes was high. Years later, the brand (now a household name) remains a go-to for people who value comfort, whether they’re working from home or doing their weekly shopping at the supermarket.

The Different Types of Crocs

The visual appeal of Crocs has only increased over the years, with new colourways and variations dropping on a regular basis. One such variation is the Echo, a style of clog that seamlessly balances the brand’s signature comfort with a streetwear aesthetic. That’s right: these fully moulded shoes are designed to be worn as you explore the urban environment, drawing inspiration from sport-style footwear.

Another variation is the aptly named Crocs Classic Clog, which, to no one’s surprise, is the most fundamental version of the shoe. This model leans into the mantra of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,’ with the standard shape and performance features being present. This contrasts with the Mega Crush, which sports a unique platform base and an updated rubber tread. For those who want to make an even bigger statement, this collection is up to the task.

Personalise Your Clogs with Crocs Accessories

Crocs shoes are highly customisable thanks to Jibbitz charms. These are a type of accessory that can be pinned into the holes of your clogs, building upon an already inspired concept.

The appearances of Jibbitz vary from cartoon characters to other decorative symbols, but what they all have in common is that they add an extra layer of personality, a feature not usual among your traditional clogs, slides, and sandals. This level of individualisation is enabled by the Crocs’ relatively understated silhouette, which embraces a simple ethos: less is more.
