In this Crocs Crocband Review I want to highlight the design features that separate the Crocs Crocband Clog from the Crocs Classic Clog. I own nine different types of Crocs clogs so I can give you a nice perspective on what makes the Crocs Crocband unique, and how Crocs Crocband sizing compares to other Crocs clogs, and other popular shoes.

My Thoughts on Crocs Crocband Clogs
Crocs Crocband Weight
My size 12 men’s Crocs Crocband clogs weigh 0.60 pounds per shoe. This put the Crocs Crocband weight around the middle of the pack when I weighed the nine types of Crocs that I own. Here I am weighing my Crocs Crocband size 12:
Below is a table comparing how the Crocs Crocband weight compares to the other Crocs clogs that I have tried. All the weights listed below are based off of one size 12 men’s shoe. I also provided links to those clogs in case you want more information on them:

Crocs Crocband Design
- Partially Vented – These Crocs Crocband clogs have a partially vented design. They have the standard vent holes on the top of the shoe, but they don’t have the side vents like the Crocs Classics do. Here is a look at the toe area of my Crocs Crocband clogs:
- Sportier – The thing that really stands out about these Crocs Crocband clogs is the unique midsole strip that gives this clog a much different appearance than the standard Crocs Classic Clogs. This Crocs Crocband clog is also offered in a wide range of vibrant colors that help it stand out a bit.
- Design – The Crocs Crocband clogs have the standard pivoting heel strap. As I mentioned earlier, they don’t have the side vent holes like the Crocs Classics do, but they are made using the same type of Crocs “Croslite” foam for a comfortable, lightweight design.
Potential Drawbacks to Consider
- Breathability – Because these Crocs Crocband clogs don’t have quite as many ventilation holes as the Crocs Classic clogs, they won’t be quite as breathable and won’t be able to release debris and water as quickly. Still, they do have some ventilation, which will help air flow, but if you want to maximize breathability, there are better options (Crocs Classic or Crocs Baya).
- No LiteRide – I personally love the Crocs LiteRide insoles, and although these Crocs Crocband clogs have the same comfortable “CrosLite” foam cushioning common to Crocs Classics, they don’t have the LiteRide insole. If you are unfamiliar with the LiteRide insole, it provides extra foam cushioning under the foot. The LiteRide insole is offered in several Crocs clogs.

In the video below, I tried to capture how soft the LiteRide insoles are (again, the Crocbands do not have LiteRide insoles):
Crocs Crocband Sizing
In my experience, the Crocs Crocband fits true to size. It has what Crocs calls a “relaxed” fit, which means it isn’t as wide as other types of Crocs. Now, to be clear, don’t expect a narrow fit. It still has extra space in the toe box area compared to many other types of shoes, but this isn’t the widest fit that Crocs offers.
Crocs Crocband clogs have that relaxed toe box which gives the clog a casual, comfortable fit, but I found the length of the Crocs Crocband clogs to be true to size and pretty consistent when compared to other popular shoes.
Below are comparison photos I took for Crocs Crocband sizing. As you can see, the toe box area is wider than most other types of shoes (but not as wide as Crocs Classics).

Where to Buy Crocs Crocband
The Crocs Crocband Clogs are very similar to the Crocs Classic Clogs, but they have a sportier, more colorful design that gives this type of Crocs a different appearance. Yes, just like the Crocs Classic Clogs, these Crocband Clogs have ventilation around the toe box, and have an open heel with heel strap.
But it is important to note that the ventilation is a bit different with these Crocband clogs, and doesn’t feature the side vents that the Crocs Classics have. Also, because these Crocband clogs have a “relaxed” fit, they aren’t quite as wide as the Crocs Classics that have a “roomy” fit.
