We love Crocs!
Crocs are the best slip on shoes for my kids (and myself) especially in the spring, summer and fall seasons.
I bought water shoes for the kids to wear on our summer beach vacation and they preferred to wear their Crocs down to the beach.
Crocs are versatile! Crocs are easy to slip on and kick off when we are rushing out of the house. They are comfortable for long walks and perfect for walking around the pool or splash pad.
I like the kids to wear Crocs for road trips because they can be slipped on and off quickly. They can also be cleaned easily! I just wipe them off with a paper towel and add dish soap (or use a Clorox wipe) if they are really dirty. My husband sometimes will hose the Crocs off!
The Crocs I like for my kids are the unisex classic clogs. If you buy unisex colors, then you can easily hand them down between siblings!
Two downsides to Crocs:
I don't like when the kids to run in Crocs. My kids still run in Crocs, but I always remind them not to. I feel like the clog could catch the ground in the toe area and cause them to trip.
Dirt gets in the holes of the Crocs. I don't notice the dirt unless the kids are wearing Crocs in the backyard to dig and play in the dirt! My kids wear Crocs with and without socks. Socks keep their feet warm and add a barrier from dirt.
I love Crocs for my kids so much that I bought a pair of adult unisex Crocs in black for myself! I often wear them for school drop-off/pickup. They are easy to slip-on with sweatpants or jeans! I also like to pack my Crocs for vacations, so that I have an easy slip on shoe to wear inside or outside with little hassle.
