Cushioned Open-Toed Sandals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Crocs Just Debuted a New Classic Sandal Design

— June 25, 2022 — Fashion
Crocs may be known for its iconic clog silhouettes, but now the brand is helping consumers step into summer with its new Classic Sandal design.

Crafted around the brand’s signature Classic Clog style, the new sandal features an open-toe design with two wide, chunky straps running across. Like other Crocs shoes, the sandals are made with a Croslite™ foam cushion in the sole. This not only helps to make the sandals comfortable for extended wear, but also provided extra support for the foot. And for those who like to customize their Crocs, the sandals also feature hoes that can be filled with Jibbitz™.

Best of all, the Classic Sandal will be available in six eye-catching sorbet-hued shades, as well as three versions of a dip-dye effect.
