what material are crocs made of

Crocs are made primarily from Croslite , a proprietary closed-cell foam resin that is mostly based on EVA/PEVA-type plastic material. That material is what gives Crocs their lightweight, cushioned, water-resistant feel.

What that means

  • Croslite is not ordinary rubber. It’s a molded foam-like polymer used for comfort and durability.
  • Crocs has also increased the use of bio-circular content in Croslite, including plant-based byproducts such as cooking oil, in some products.
  • In simple terms, Crocs are best described as a foam plastic shoe with a proprietary material blend.
