No. 1 bestselling Crocs are on sale, starting at $35: 'So comfy, light and airy'
These expert-approved clogs with over 504,000 five-star fans are hard to beat for foot pain: 'I forgot I was wearing shoes.'
Achy feet? You're in luck: Crocs are on sale for as low as $35 at Amazon. There are plenty of colors to choose from, so you can score the distinctive clogs die-hard fans say provide "comfort no amount of words can begin to describe" at a delightful discount. Whether you're wearing them to putter around the house, beautify your garden or kick back in comfort, these slip-ons are sure to be your new go-to.
If comfy cool is your jam, this is the shoe for you. Beloved by chefs, medical workers and kids alike, Crocs are lightweight, easy to clean, quick-drying and water-friendly.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
Crocs' Classic Clogs are among the most popular shoes out there (they're even Amazon's No. 1 bestsellers in the entire category of Clothing, Shoes and Jewelry) and they rarely go on sale. The price depends on color and size, but you'll get the best bang for your buck with the slate gray. The most popular color, black, also has a great markdown going at up to 25% off.
Why do I need this? 🤔
There's a lot of hype around Crocs. They are the epitome of foot-pampering footwear. First of all, these unisex shoes are lightweight and breathable; they’re even perforated for air circulation. But it's their soft rubber construction and arch-supporting, shock-absorbing sole that make them truly superior. "They're wide and extremely lightweight," adds California-based foot surgeon Diane Koshimune.
People love to say that their favorite shoes are "like walking on air," but I can confirm that in the case of Crocs, that's the truth. So can thousands of Crocs enthusiasts.
What reviewers say 💬
Shoppers cannot get enough of these shoes — they have over 504,000 five-star ratings.
Pros 👍
"They are so comfy, light and airy, with great cushioning for walking all day long," trumpeted one shopper. "I used to think they were just plastic gardening shoes, or just comfy clogs for nurses and doctors. But now I am seeing Crocs everywhere ... They have become a highly sought-after fashion item!"
"I've worn every sole, every orthotic, every thick support whatever shoe there is out there for severe chronic pain and plantar fasciitis that never improves," said another fan. "I saw the sale on these and kinda went sure, OK, I'll see. They came the next day and then I wore them for the first time during a volunteering shift to care for cats ... and the result was wild to me. Absolutely 100% of my weight (and then some, it feels) is always digging into my heels and making everything worse. I wore these Crocs and today and all the weight was distributed into the front of my feet, which lessened the burden on my heel and it was more bearable to walk."
A third fan confessed, "I always thought that Crocs were a crock. Just another fad, and a weird one at that. Then my doctor recommended them because I have wide feet exacerbated by bunions. They're perfect!" The reviewer added, "I walked for about 45 minutes in these shoes — in town on flat surfaces — and they were so comfortable. I forgot I was wearing shoes!"
Cons 👎
Some reviewers noted that these clogs run a little big, and it may be necessary to experiment to find your perfect size. "They can run a bit large, so I recommend sizing down if you are in between sizes," shared a helpful wearer. "For example, I usually wear a size 8.5 in women’s shoes, but I ordered a size 8 in these clogs and they fit perfectly."
Another customer added, "They do seem to loosen up a bit with time ... [however, they're] comfortable, easy to slide on and go."
"I love these Crocs and wear them regularly for dog walks," said a final fan. "Buyer beware — they definitely do shrink if you leave them outside in the sun (even if they aren't in the sun). While you don't have to throw them out, it will take a few weeks of cramming your foot inside to reshape (yes, they can be reshaped)."
"Back in the day, I used to tease (borderline bully) people who dared to don these monstrosities in public," said a convert. "Fast forward to about 15 years later and I understand the hype. Crocs are literally the most comfortable shoe that my feet have been graced to walk in. It's like ... having your steps be absorbed by a cloud."
