Even if you think you “hate” Crocs, the brand’s surprise range of styles, colors, and collaborations might just win you over. From clogs with sleek leather-like looks to sporty sandals and designer partnerships, these eight picks blend comfort with surprise style. Slip into any one of these, and you’ll be Croc-curious after all!
1. Classic Clog in Matte Black
Sleek, stealthy, and so minimalist. Matte-black Classic Clog mutes the usual bright-plastic look and pairs as easily with jeans as with shorts. It’s the perfect “incognito Croc” for the bold-color shy. Slide them on, and enjoy the same ultralight comfort Crocs are famous for—without announcing your shoes to the world.
2. Crocs CitiLane Roka Slide
The CitiLane Roka looks more like a sporty sandal than a clunky clog. It’s water-friendly, quick-drying, and comfortable enough for all-day wear—ideal for beach outings or casual strolls. Even Croc skeptics might appreciate this low-profile, functional design.
3. Crocs x Salehe Bembury Pollex Clog
Designer cred alert! The Pollex Clog, a collaboration with award-winning designer Salehe Bembury, features sculptural soles and earthy, luxe hues. It’s a statement shoe that says, “Yes, I wear Crocs—and I’m fashionable.” Avant-garde and artistic, it can turn anyone who thinks Crocs aren’t fashionable.
4. Leather-Effect Crocs Santa Cruz Loafer
Who says Crocs cannot masquerade as real shoes? The Santa Cruz Loafer utilizes leather-like material and a moccasin style to deliver loafer vibes with the light comfort of Crocs. Slip them on for a smart-casual look that will have colleagues doing a double take.
5. Crocs Classic Lined Clog
For the “winter Croc” naysayers, the Classic Lined Clog offers a fuzzy liner that transforms Crocs into a warm indoor slipper. It’s like walking on a cloud for your feet. After feeling that soft warmth, you might forget all about your preconceptions.
6. Crocs Swiftwater Mesh Wave Sandal
Breathable and adventure-ready, the Swiftwater Mesh Wave Sandal pairs mesh uppers with an aggressive sole. It looks more like tactical gear than pool toy. Perfect for hiking, river crossings, or urban trekking—this practical design can win even the most doubtful into the ranks of Crocs not just being for the backyard.
7. Crocs Classic Graphic Clog
Allow personality to take center stage with fun graphics—from camo to emojis to bold prints. The Classic Graphic Clog still has the signature silhouette but adds attention-grabbing Jibbitz charms. It’s a lighthearted way to test the Croc waters: if you still despise them, at least you’ll have gone out with a bang.
8. Crocs Men’s Yukon Vista II Clog
Yes, Croc Clogs do. The Yukon Vista II Clog is durable, weather-resistant, and even stylish. With an adjustable cuff and lugged sole, it’s built for the outdoorsy type. Anyone who thinks that Crocs aren’t durable or versatile will be chewing their words when they trudge through the muck in these.
