After trying nine different types of Crocs my conclusion about Crocs sizing is this: Although Crocs have a wide, roomy fit, I found the overall length of Crocs to fit true to size in most all cases. I did, however, find a few exceptions that fit a bit bigger than normal shoe sizing.
The types of Crocs that I found to fit bigger are the Crocs Bistro, Crocs Bistro Pro, and Crocs Specialist II clogs. I will use my comparison photos in this article to help you understand how Crocs fit. I would also recommend you use the sizing resource from Crocs.com linked below:

To navigate this page, you can simply scroll down to view my comparison Crocs sizing photos, or you can click on the specific type of Crocs you are interested in from the list below, and that will jump you ahead on the page to that section:
- Crocs Classic
- Crocs Bistro
- Crocs LiteRide
- Crocs All-Terrain
- Crocs On-the-Clock
- Crocs Crocband
- Crocs Specialist II
- Crocs Bistro Pro
- Crocs Baya
- Crocs Crush
- Crocs Yukon Vista II
When I say that I found the length of Crocs to fit true to size in most cases, perhaps a better way to say it is I found the length of Crocs to be average (meaning, I found some brands that fit longer, and some brands that fit shorter).
For example, here is Crocs sizing compared to Hey Dude:
As you can see above, Crocs have a wider, roomier design. But I also found certain types of shoes that fit a bit longer than Crocs. For example, here are my Crocs Classics compared to Nike Dunk shoes:
As you can see, those Nike Dunks fit a tiny bit longer than the Crocs Classics. And, of course, it will also depend on what type of Crocs clog you choose to buy. Crocs offers these clogs in a couple different fits that affect the width and roominess of the clog.
The main two types of Crocs fits are Roomy Fit and Relaxed Fit. Although both of these fits create a wide design, the Roomy Fit is the wider of the two.
As I mentioned earlier, I also found the length to vary in certain types of Crocs clogs. The Crocs Bistro, Crocs Bistro Pro, and Crocs Specialist II all fit longer than normal Crocs. For example, here are my Crocs Bistro clogs (on the left) compared to normal Crocs sizing:
As you can see, the Crocs Bistro fits longer than the Crocs Classic. If this all seems a bit overwhelming, let me say again, that in my experience, ordering my normal sizing was almost always the correct choice for Crocs. Hopefully my experience with these clogs can help you find the right fit.
In this article, I want to use the comparison photos I took of these nine different types of Crocs clogs. I will also link to my Crocs sizing guides I have for each of these individual styles in case you want to read more about a specific Crocs style. I hope this helps!
Crocs Classic Sizing
I found the Crocs Classics to fit true to size. They have a roomy fit, which is Crocs widest toe box. Do not expect a narrow fit. That said, the length of the Crocs Classics was what I consider to be true to size, meaning it felt comfortable on my foot, and also meaning that when I compared it to other popular brands, I found some brands that fit shorter, and some brands that fit longer.

Below are the Crocs sizing photos I took for the Crocs Classics compared to other brands (all shoes are size 12 men’s). Please note that the pivoting heel strap is where the back of the foot will start, so take that into consideration when comparing these shoes.

Crocs Bistro Sizing
In my experience, the Crocs Bistro was one of the types of Crocs that I felt like ran slightly bigger than normal shoe sizing. It fits bigger than the Crocs Classics. It didn’t feel obnoxiously big on my foot, but it was loose.
Here’s my advice: If you prefer a loose fit, then I would recommend ordering your normal sizing for the Crocs Bistro. If you prefer a snug fit, sizing down is probably your best option. The Crocs Bistro has what Crocs calls a “roomy” fit, which is their roomiest, widest toe box. Don’t expect Crocs Bistro clogs to fit narrow.

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. The sizing for Crocs Crocband is very similar to the sizing for Crocs Classics.

Crocs Baya Sizing
In my experience, the Crocs Baya fits true to size. It has what Crocs calls a “roomy” fit, which, as we have discussed throughout, is their roomiest, widest toe box. Don’t expect Crocs Baya clogs (or really any Crocs clogs) to fit narrow.
Crocs Baya clogs have a wide design, but I found the length of the Crocs Baya clogs to be true to size and pretty consistent when compared to other popular shoes. The sizing for Crocs Baya is very similar to the sizing for Crocs Classics.

Crocs ‘On the Clock’ Sizing
In my experience, the sizing for Crocs On-the-Clock is true to size. These Crocs On-the-Clock clogs are a bit different because they have a closed heel without a heel strap, which gives them a true slip-on design. These clogs are designed for work environments that demand a closed heel shoe (does Crocs make a safety shoe?).
The Crocs On-the-Clock clog 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.
Because the fit isn’t as wide as other types of Crocs, it gives these Crocs On-the-Clock clogs a more secure fit. I found the length of the Crocs On-the-Clock clogs to be true to size and pretty consistent when compared to other popular shoes.

Crocs LiteRide Sizing
In my experience, the sizing for Crocs LiteRide is 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.
It has a sleeker design, which gives it a more athletic fit and appearance. I found the length of the Crocs LiteRide clogs to be true to size and pretty consistent when compared to other popular shoes.

Crocs Specialist II Sizing
In my experience, the Crocs Specialist II clogs do fit a bit loose (looser than my Crocs Classics). I wouldn’t describe the fit as obnoxiously loose, so if you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit, your normal sizing might work. But if you prefer a snug fit, then it will probably be best to size down.
It has what Crocs calls a “roomy” fit, which is their roomiest, widest toe box. Don’t expect Crocs Specialist clogs (or really any Crocs clogs) to fit narrow.
Below are the Crocs sizing photos I took for the Crocs Specialist clogs compared to other brands (all shoes are size 12 men’s). The heel strap is obviously where the heel will begin, so take that into account when using these comparison photos.

Crocs All Terrain Sizing
These Crocs All Terrain shoes are a bit more difficult to give sizing advice on. Why? Well, they have an adjustable heel strap, so the fit is customizable. Obviously, this can be very helpful in allowing you to find the perfect, most comfortable fit for Crocs.
In my experience, I would describe the sizing for Crocs All Terrain as true to size. It has what Crocs calls a “roomy” fit, which is their roomiest, widest toe box. Don’t expect Crocs All Terrain clogs (or really any Crocs clogs) to fit narrow.
Crocs All Terrain clogs have a wide design, but I found the length of the Crocs All Terrain clogs to be true to size and pretty consistent when compared to other popular shoes (and pretty consistent when compared to Crocs Classics).

Crocs Bistro Pro Sizing
These closed-toe Crocs Bistro Pro clogs are similar to the Crocs All Terrain from above in that they have an adjustable heel strap which allows you to customize the fit to the unique length of your foot. Obviously, this can be very helpful in allowing you to find the perfect, most comfortable fit for Crocs.
In my experience, the Crocs Bistro Pro LiteRide does fit a bit longer than Crocs Classics, but again, the heel strap is customizable. Still, if you prefer a snug fit, sizing down may be your best option. It has what Crocs calls a “roomy” fit, which is their roomiest, widest toe box. Don’t expect Crocs Bistro Pro clogs to fit narrow.

Crocs Sizing Conclusion
Do Crocs Run Big or Small?
In my experience, Crocs fit true to size in most all cases. As we have discussed above, there are some styles that fit a bit looser than other types of Crocs.
You can expect the sizing for Crocs Bistro, Crocs Bistro Pro, and Crocs Specialist II clogs to all fit a bit longer than Crocs Classic clogs. They aren’t obnoxiously loose, but if you prefer a snug fit, sizing down those specific styles may be your best option.
For all other types of Crocs that I have tried, my normal sizing fit true to size.
Are Crocs Wide?
Yes, Crocs are wide. Crocs are offered in two main types of fits: Roomy Fit and Relaxed Fit. Don’t expect either of these fits to be narrow, but the Roomy Fit is the widest option.
Expect the toe box area of Crocs to be much wider than other types of shoes. For example, in the photo below I tried to capture just how much wider the toe box area of my Crocs are compared to my Vans slip-on shoes:
The main takeaway is, yes, expect Crocs sizing to have a roomy, wide design. The Relaxed Fit option will be less roomy than the Roomy Fit, but still do not expect the Relaxed Fit design to feel narrow. If you are interested how this might affect weight, visit my article that explains the weight of Crocs.
Should I Size Up or Down for Crocs Half Sizes?
Most types of Crocs do not come in half sizes. If you normally wear a half size, then this can create a difficult decision regarding sizing. Here’s my advice:
Although Crocs are wide, in my experience, they are not big regarding length. As I have said throughout this Crocs sizing guide, I think the best way to describe the length of most Crocs clogs is “average”.
**Verify Your Crocs Sizing**: Crocs.com now has its own sizing resource page which helps you find the right fit for your foot. Click here to view this sizing resource available at Crocs.com (paid affiliate link takes you to Crocs.com).
If you size down, I do think there is a reasonable chance the Crocs are too tight. If you are stuck on a half size, I would probably advise you to size up most types of Crocs clogs. But, there are exceptions.
In my experience, the Crocs Bistro, Crocs Bistro Pro, and Crocs Specialist all fit looser than other Crocs clogs. If you wear a half size and are buying one of those styles, I would recommend sizing down.
Do Crocs Stretch?
Yes, in my experience, Crocs do stretch out a bit over time. Don’t expect the amount of stretch to be enough to affect Crocs sizing decisions, but the foam material is very flexible, and I notice that over time, the Crocs seem to adapt to the shape and length of my foot.
Are Crocs Adjustable?
Some types of Crocs are adjustable. These adjustable Crocs have adjustable heel straps so you can better customize the fit of Crocs to your foot.
Here is an example of my Crocs All Terrain clogs which have an adjustable heel strap:
But, it is also worth noting that the pivoting heel strap used in normal Crocs does have some give to it. No, it isn’t adjustable, but it is flexible, and it helps the Crocs fit comfortably against the foot. In the video below, I tried to capture how flexible the foam heel strap is:
Do All Crocs Fit the Same?
No, don’t expect all types of Crocs to fit the same. As we have discussed above, the width of Crocs can change depending on what style you choose. Some Crocs Clogs have a Roomy Fit, which is the widest option, and then some other Crocs Clogs have a Relaxed Fit, which is a bit more narrow.
In my experience, Crocs sandals do not fit as wide as Crocs clogs. To see examples, visit my Crocs Crush Sizing Guide.
Also, the length of Crocs sizing can vary depending on style. For example, here are my size 12 Crocs Bistro Clogs (left) compared to regular Crocs:
As you can see, the Crocs Bistro Clogs fit slightly longer.
That said, in my experience most types of Crocs Clogs have a similar, true-to-size fit. In most cases, ordering your normal sizing will be the best option.
How Do You Know What Size of Crocs to Get?
Again, in my experience, ordering your normal shoe sizing is best for most types of Crocs clogs. I have detailed exceptions throughout this article that I feel like fit a bit looser (Croc Bistro, Crocs Bistro Pro, Crocs Specialist II).
