PROS

On top of the Croslite foundation, the manufacturers added an additional layer of shock-absorbing material, providing some ever so needed cushioning to your kid's feet. A convertible heel strap features a secure fit, so the toddler won't be able to lose the Crocs even if he tried to. The ventilation ports allow his feet to breathe.

CONS

The actual sizes may differ from the stated ones. 

OUR VERDICT

What we have here is easily one of the best toddler Crocs out there. The foam resin makes these shoes lightweight, soft, and flexible. Nevertheless, the model is surprisingly tough, so you won't have to worry about your kid hurting his feet or tearing the shoes up in a couple of months.

Surprisingly Tough

As the company behind these Crocs for kids likes to put it, the heart and "sole" of the particular product, as well as the majority of their shoes, is the material called Croslite. And, bad pun aside, the material in question is just about all it's cracked up to be. It may seem and feel like rubber but the material is actually foam resin, a component produced and engineered by the same company in order to provide their customers with utmost comfort.

The material is exactly what makes this model soft and flexible, allowing kids to roam free all day long without any feeling of pain or fatigue in their feet at the end of a day. However, despite being incredibly lightweight, the Crocs kids shoes are actually surprisingly tough, which is fairly important as well given that kids aren't necessarily known for being careful and playing it safe. By the way, on top of the aforementioned Croslite foundation, the manufacturers decided to add an additional layer of shock-absorbing material, providing some ever so needed cushioning to your kid's feet. A convertible heel strap features a secure fit, so your toddler won't be able to lose the Crocs even if he wanted to. The ventilation ports allow his feet to breathe. Finally, just like the majority of classic Crocs, these Crocs Kids Crocband Clog are odor-resistant, water-friendly, and completely buoyant, so walking around the backyard is as much of an option as taking a dip in the kiddie pool.

To rephrase our earlier point, what we have here is easily one of the best options for toddlers out there. The foam resin makes these shoes lightweight, soft, and flexible. Nevertheless, the model is surprisingly tough, so you won't have to worry about your kid hurting his feet or tearing the shoes up in a couple of months.

Crocs Can Look Good Too

As you probably know, Crocs do not necessarily have the reputation of the most attractive shoes out there. And even though that reputation is well-earned if you're talking about classic clogs, not every pair of Crocs is created equal. For instance, we could certainly make an argument that the Citilane Roka Slip-On model looks as good as any pair of shoes out there, all while retaining the Croc's signature comfort and convenience.

Of course, not much can be said about looks, except for the fact that these Crocs for kids look more like your typical pair of low-cut shoes than a pair of Crocs, which is a good thing no matter how you slice it. So, aside from the casual, vintage-inspired design, we would rather mention a few elements that aren't there just for looks. For starters, there are the ventilated uppers that will allow your kid's feet to breathe. The twin gore stretch panels will make it easy for any child to slip into these shoes as well as to take them off. On top of the company's trademark Croslite™ foam footbeds, the designers also made sure to add soft, perforated Matlite™ foam uppers. Simply put, both of these elements will allow your kid to spend days on the playground without feeling worn out or tired due to the shoes' uncomfortable fit. And, once you actually decide to order a pair, you'll be pleased to know that there are plenty of sizes to choose from and an even greater number of potential colors.

All things considered, it is hard to look particularly glamorous while wearing Crocs. Which is why we would definitely recommend the model in question to those customers who would rather have their kids sporting a pair of casual, vintage-inspired shoes that combine the comfort of Crocs and the visual appeal of a classic low-cut shoe.

A Classic Design

What we have here is another pair of classic Crocs for kids. They sure aren't the prettiest shoes but what they lack in looks, they certainly make up for in the comfort and functionality departments. Speaking of the former, there are a few things that make this model as comfortable as it is but most of them stem from the company's foam resin material called Croslite. The material is lightweight and flexible, providing both comfort and support for your little one. The molded design of the latter is also part of that supporting structure. And, of course, one of the best things about this material is just how durable it is, enough to offer your kid utmost comfort and convenience before he grows out of these Crocs for kids.

Now, as for functionality, we would first like to mention the convertible heel straps that ensure a secure fit without fringing on your kid's comfort. There are also the non-marking outsoles that will allow your kid to walk around the house without damaging the floors or leaving any kind of marks. The ventilation holes will make sure your little one's feet have enough room to breathe and the odor-resistant properties of the shoes will prevent the Crocs from accumulating an unpleasant aroma after a day at the playground.

Again, this is a classic pair of Crocs designed for little kids. They definitely aren't the most stylish shoes out there but the kind of comfort they provide and the sort of functionality they offer are more than enough to make up for any shortcomings in the looks department.

Play in the Rain

A quick glance at these Crocs for kids will tell you that this is a bit of a different model compared to the classic Croc design. Naturally, these aren't your everyday shoes and they aren't called rain boots for no reason. This is a pair of shoes that will allow your kid to freely roam outside when it is raining cats and dogs. And, thanks to the model's design, you won't have to worry about your child getting his feet wet and catching a cold as a result of that.

Of course, rain boots are not necessarily known for being the most comfortable type of footwear out there. But these are Crocs we're talking about and if there's one thing you could always count on them, it is a comfortable fit. The particular model is no exception since it utilizes the same fully molded Croslite™ material that ensures the sort of lightweight cushioning that makes Crocs as comfortable as they are.

As for other aspects, it should probably go without saying that the shoes are as waterproof as any decent pair of rain boots is. The pull-on handles located at both sides of the boot will allow your kid to easily put them on. And even though this isn't necessarily a pair of shoes that is designed for indoor use, the non-marking outsoles make it possible for the young one to walk around the house without ruining the floors.

To sum it up, we would recommend these Crocs for kids to those families that live in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and other rainy states where you simply cannot afford to stay outside every time it rains. With these boots, your kid will be able to have some fun in the rain.

A Day at the Beach

Even though the classic Croc design includes ventilation ports that allow your kid's feet to breathe, let's just say that those may not cut it when it is 90 degrees outside. And even if they do, your little one may not want to go to the beach wearing the classic Crocs for kids. For these kinds of scenarios, you might want to get your child Crocs Kids' Classic Flip.

As the name of the product suggests, what we have here is a classic flip-flop design that incorporates some of the same solutions usually reserved for the regular Crocs. For instance, the company's trademark Croslite™ foam cushion that is responsible for their shoes' iconic comfort. Though the sort of cushy feel they provide isn't necessarily synonymous with regular flip-flops, the lightweight design of this model makes them about as light as a regular pair of sandals. That said, dissimilar to those shoes, the model comes with a stretchy heel strap that will make sure your kid doesn't lose these Crocs walking around the beach. There's also a soft TPU toe post that will prevent blisters and chafing. All in all, the shoes are easy to wear and you won't have to worry about your little one getting wet as they dry as quickly as the next pair of flip-flops.

So, in case we haven't made ourselves clear, Crocs Kids' Classic Flip is essentially a pair of flip-flops that offers all of the standard advantages of this type of shoes. And as for the drawbacks, the company's Croslite™ foam cushion and the model's overall design ensures more than enough comfort for your kid to enjoy a nice day at the beach.

What Are Crocs for Kids?

A lot of people love to hate on Crocs. And, honestly, part of it is well-deserved. Crocs are definitely one of the least attractive types of footwear out there and the price isn't always as low as you would expect out of a product like that. So, if you're an adult and you do not feel like getting yourself a pair of Crocs, we can certainly see your point. However, it is a whole other question with children. As a responsible adult, it is up to you to decide what type of footwear your child will be wearing throughout the day, and there's nothing like Crocs for kids when it comes to comfort and health benefits. First of all, these shoes are especially light, so your kid will be able to run around all day without the feeling of pain and fatigue in his feet. They're also completely odor-resistant since, unlike sneakers and other types of shoes, they allow your kid's feet to breathe. However, dissimilar to flip-flops and other opened toe shoes, Crocs actually offer some arch support and their usually closed-toe design prevents the child from stubbing his toe and hurting himself.

And if your kid doesn't feel excited about the prospect of wearing Crocs either, you could always make it up to him with a remote control car or an electric go-kart.
