Do Crocs Stretch Over Time

Would you like to find out if Crocs stretch out over time? Like many other footwears, my croc shoes will stretch over time due to constant pressure on the soles, straps, and every other part of the shoes.

Crocs shoes are very versatile, durable, and comfortable due to the closed resin of the Croslite material but constant use will still make it expand.

I bought my first Mesh Wave Crocs and it seemed a little tight at first. After a week of wearing, I noticed it has stretched out a little and it feels much loose than before. Many people call the Croslite material some kind of synthetic rubber and who could blame them? They share many similarities.

Important truth every Crocs owner should know

As a croc lover, there are some facts I have come to discover over my years of usage that other shoe users are yet to know of. Believe me it makes me feel special because croc shoes are special and you would never know the value of them until you own one.

Merits

There are so many merits of owning Crocs shoes that the disadvantages become insignificant (if there is any). I mean they have so many holes your feet won’t smell!

I start with the mode of wearing. Croc shoes have two modes; the casual and the sports mode. The casual mode is wearing them without while the sport mode is with the straps, and both can be switched easily as well. They are also very easy to put on and off with just a flick of the feet.

Here is another merit. As the “special rubber†that they are, my croc shoes will always fit perfectly with my feet as long as I wear them. They are flexible and can always stretch to your size. Not every shoe can do that.

My croc shoes do well in any type of weather and still remain comfortable and long-lasting. They are 100% shock absorbent as well. These days, I am never too afraid of mistakenly striking my feet against the table that is always painful. This is because I am always wearing my crocs in the house and it will always protect my feet from these aching.

Another merit of the Crocs shoes I have discovered is that it hardly retains water particles for a long time, unlike leather and cotton shoes. This makes it smell-resistant and very easy to clean as well. When I wash or clean my croc shoes, they get dry in time and they are back on my feet again.

My Crocs are extremely non-biodegradable which means they are not easy to decompose and cannot cause any form of pollution. So you can see that crocs shoes also have the survival of the planet in mind. They can instead be recycled by donation, used as decoratives or, resold.

Another merit is as simple as it sounds; they are cool. Croc wears look cool and fashionable with most dressing concepts these days. Check out the LiteRide Pacer Sneaker. They are now worn in supermarkets, workplaces, and even runways. This is not just because of the beautiful color blends, styles, or the fact that they go well with Jibbitz but also because of the cushioned feel and the fact that they are lightweight.

Let’s now get a bit scientific, do you know that crocs shoes are perfect for diabetes patients? One of the things diabetic patients experience is that they tend to have a hard time circulating blood and on their feet, they develop sores and wound infection. Like I mentioned earlier, Crocs shoes offer protection against foot injuries and sheer comfort for better blood circulation.

Demerits

Although they are very important shoe wears with endless benefits, croc shoes are not liked by everyone. In fact, they are not for everybody. So don’t expect to walk into any kind of place with a pair of croc shoes with the confidence of the mayor.

Croc shoes are not that fashionable, truth be told. Yeah, they will do great in casual outings like a trip to the supermarket or yard parties but will not blow anyone away in a wedding party. I mean seriously, even with all that Jibbitz and color palettes, never wear a Crocs to a serious-minded get-together if you do not want to ruin your reputation.

This shouldn’t sound as bad as it is now, but the purpose of crocs is not meant for that. But also, instead of wearing classic clogs like Baya Clogs, try the Yukon Vista Clogs. It looks better for similar scenarios.

Although Crocs shoes are practical, they are ugly. So ugly they are cool and this is because, in the modern world, ugly is now the new cool. (Just see the ever-trendy Uggs).

I have also heard some friends complain that some crocs are expensive. Really? $50 isn’t expensive for a pair of shoes considering the valuable attributes they come with. Croc shoes boast of some of the best comfort in footwear but they are still crocs and should not be expensive. They are also cheap to manufacture too.

I will blame this one the current market of this brand as they are one of the fastest-growing worldwide raking more than 600 million sales over the past decade alone.

Their prices are increasing and some have already surpassed the $100 mark. It’s inevitable, but since they are casual shoes they are quite expensive especially for budget buys.

What type of Crocs should you own?

I always come across this question as a croc user. First-timers will ask me what kind of crocs they should own. My answers are always the same; the one that fits your taste.

The beautiful and one of the most overlooked things about croc shoes is that most of them are unisex and can be worn by any gender or even age, depending on the size.

For men

For men, the first thing to be wary of is the size because male sizes are usually measured quite bigger than women sizes. This should be hard to decipher because you already know your regular feet or shoe size and this will help you chose the perfect croc size for you.

It also will depend on your current location because American and EU sized usually vary and all you need to do is know the differences and how to read the inscriptions underneath the shoe. They normally come in M4, M5, M6, M7, etc.

Crocs for men aren’t that hard to choose as you will need something of sturdy look and quality because you know, men have a harder gait and stronger feet. The first brand that comes to my mind when I want to recommend crocs for men is the Yukon Vista Clogs.

This shoe is very adjustable for men on the go. The design is built for activity and looks way classier than the classic models. I could wear this to the office without thinking twice and still look good. The leather is comfortable and very sturdy for a long-lasting experience.

The SwiftWater Mesh Wave is another awesome choice for men, just look at how attractive it looks. I have seen real men use this for small exercises like jogging in the park. They are affordable compared to Yukon Vista and the strap at the back gives it a very secure feel.

The Crocs LiteRide Pacer Sneaker is a croc sneaker, they are my favorites and there isn’t much to be said about that. It looks cool on the eye and it is very light and comfortable to wear.

They are also stylish for casual occasions and look much cooler with jeans, shorts, and chinos even without a pair of socks. There is the Crocs Classic Boat Shoes as a great alternative loafer.

For women

Crocs for women come in different sizes labeled with the ‘W’ sign. Lefts quickly peruse through some of the best fits for a lady.

I’ll start with the Neria Pro Li Clogs for women. This model is seriously attractive as well as it is comfortable. Some complain to me that it is a little tight when worn for longer periods and there is an absence of breather holes too. Nevertheless, I will always recommend them because of their smart look and awesome design that fits perfectly with any outfit.

If you want something a bit more loose, try the Mercy Work Clogs. This looks pretty much like the classic brands but this comes with a special anti-slip design and very stylish. It is common in the medical world for nurses and doctors but is still be worn in casual fashion especially when you’ve got some really nice stockings to go with it.

Although the Classic Leopard Print Clogs is unisex, I feel it is more appealing to women because of the leopard print which withholds the nice features of the classics with a beautiful pattern that would suit some of your favorite outfits. They are very cute and comfy while being affordable at the same time. Don’t worry about the print washing away because it is durable.

Another great choice is the Serena Sandals which look like sandals. It has an extremely stylish modern-day design and lightweight as well. The flat concept oozes some real elegance and comfort to make you look good on any outfit whether on trousers or skirts.

There is also the Capri V Sporty flip flops which is another unique brand from Crocs. The high heels give good comfort and balance and they look pretty good on a woman’s feet.

If I were to get a pair for my wife, I will go for the Crocs Women Serena Sandals because of its unique design and attractive simplicity. They are also very affordable making this brand a steal compared to the rest I mentioned.

For kids

Children’s crocs are cute and are labeled with C and J. The C obviously stands for children while the J stands for Juvenile; that is for kids younger than 4 years of age.

My Crocs list is incomplete without the formidable Croc band clogs and the Croc Band for Kids is awesome. I got a pair each for my kids and they have refused to take them off ever since.

They are not only durable and comfortable, but the Crocs band also gives the sheer balance with the straps on and they are always good to go. They come in various kid sizes and are unisex too.

On the Child Classic Glitter Clog, the glitters don’t wear out that easily and your child is always looking great. Although it will be a better fit for female children, I love this pair because they are sparkly and classy too. You’ll also find out how you can clean and maintain them.

The Child Fun Lab Crocs brings out the best in your child’s outfit by looking simple, cool, and fun at the same time. I bought this for around $50 plus shipping fees so it is one very affordable gem.

They are my best pick and I am still happy I made the choice. The design has an inbuilt Jibbitz, some nice straps, and very lightweight. They also possess breather holes to keep my kid’s feet always dry and free from moisture. It is also my kid’s best shoes!

Sex	Best Crocs choice	Why I chose this
Male	Crocs LiteRide Pacer Sneaker	Best sneaker Crocs with max comfort
Female	Crocs Women Serena Sandals	Coolest Crocs for women with unique design and comfort
Child	Child Fun Lab Crocs	Best Crocs for kids with breather holes and cool design

In conclusion…

Croc shoes will definitely stretch with time and this can be mitigated to some extent by applying good maintenance policies.

To get the best deals also, simply check the various brands and styles online and make your pick. It all depends on your taste and for me, you will always have the best deal when you follow your instincts. It is a reflection of your taste and desire in terms of design, color, and size.

Only you know what fits for you and making the right choice should be almost as easy as a stroll in the park.
