10 Alternative Ways To Use Your Crocs

10 Ways to Use Crocs & Jibbitz

Crocs have come a long way from being the shoes you chucked on to take the bins out. Although, let’s be honest, they’re still bloody good for that too.

From beach missions and quick errands to curating a whole outfit around the things, Crocs are the kind of footwear that can do a bit of everything. Then of course, there’s Jibbitz - the wee charms that let you make your pair look a little more you.

So, whether you’re already a Crocs convert or still wondering what all the fuss is about, here are 10 ways to wear, use and personalise your pair.

1. Everyday Wear

There’s a reason Crocs have become the default shoe for just about every mission under the sun. Heading out for coffee? Crocs. Running errands? Crocs. Popping down to the shops? You already know. They’re lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and comfy as. Why would you pick anything else?

2. Take Them to the Beach

Crocs and the beach are a pretty solid pairing. They’re easy to get on and off when you’re heading onto the sand, and their Croslite™ material is waterproof, making them handy for wet conditions. Plus, unlike your fave white sneakers, you don’t have to breakdown when they get a bit sandy. Give them a rinse afterwards and you’re good to go.

3. Sports-mode: Activated.

When the day calls for a bit more speed, flip that heel strap back and you’re officially in Sports Mode. Beach sprint? Dairy dash? Running late because you thought you had another 20 minutes? Strap secured. It’s the difference between casually cruising and being locked in. Now, are you actually going to run anywhere in Crocs? That’s between you and your Crocs.

4. Get Stuck Into the Garden

You’ve got the gloves. You’ve got the tools. You’ve got absolutely no idea what you’re doing. At least your footwear’s appropriate. Crocs are an easy choice for pottering around the garden, with a comfy fit and an easy-to-clean design that doesn’t mind getting a bit dirty. Chuck them into Sports Mode when you’re really getting stuck in.

5. It-Girl Summer Styling

If your idea of Crocs starts and ends with the Classic Clog, allow us to broaden your horizons. The Crocs Jandal bring a more pared-back take to the range - perfect with relaxed denim, linen, and easy summer dresses. Whether it’s the Miami Flip or the Getaway Platform, they’re both the kind of shoe that slips straight into your wardrobe and upgrades it instantly. ALL the girls are wearing Crocs Jandals. Trust.

6. Ultimate Travel Bud

Travelling is where easy footwear really earns its keep. The Classic Clogs are lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and handy for just about everything – perf for the plane! If you wanna feel stylish for those vacation pics, opt for Crocs Sandals, espesh if you’re going somewhere sunny. Plus, when you’re packing, they weigh absolutely nothing. No extra baggage fees for you. Yahoo!

7. Keep a Pair by the Door

This one is less glamorous but arguably one of the most useful. Keep your Crocs by the back door for when you need footwear RIGHT NOW. Taking the dog out, checking the mail, or when Mum’s making your grab the groceries from the car - no laces, no fuss. Just slide in and go.

8. Let the Kids Go Wild With Them

If you’ve got little ones, Crocs make a pretty good blank canvas for letting them show off their personalities. North Beach currently stocks Toddlers and Youth Classic Clogs in a range of colours, alongside Jibbitz to customise them. Let them pick their favourite charms, create their own combination and change them whenever they feel like it. Just be prepared for the possibility that a seven-year-old's definition of “matching” may differ slightly from yours.

9. Add Jibbitz for an Instant Personality Upgrade

Plain Crocs? Fine. Crocs covered in tiny charms representing your favourite foods, hobbies, animals, letters and random little things you love? Much better. Jibbitz are designed to pop into Crocs shoes with holes, including most clogs, sandals, slides and even some boots. They’re also easy to remove and swap around, so your Crocs can have a little wardrobe of their own. Go minimalist with one or two, spell out your initials, or cover the things in charms. There are no rules here.

10. Create a Jibbitz Theme

If you’re going to personalise your Crocs, you may as well commit. Pick a theme and run with it. Foodie? Build yourself a tiny feast. Sports fan? Represent your team. Travel obsessed? Turn your Crocs into a miniature holiday scrapbook. You can also use letters and numbers to spell out names, initials or whatever message you feel like putting on your feet. For Classic Clogs, Crocs says you can fit up to 13 Jibbitz per shoe, so there’s plenty of room to get creative.

How to Personalise Crocs With Jibbitz

Adding Jibbitz is ridiculously easy. Support the top of your Crocs with one hand, then push the base of the Jibbitz through one of the holes with the other. To remove it, push the base back out through the hole while pulling the charm from the top. From letters and numbers to food, animals, sports, characters and symbols, there’s a Jibbitz for pretty much every personality. North Beach currently stocks a selection both in-store & online that can be purchased individually or in packs, so you can build your collection as you go.

How to Clean & Care for Your Crocs

A little bit of care goes a long way. Crocs are pretty low-maintenance, but every now and then they deserve a little bath.

For standard Croslite™ Crocs:

• Hand wash or spot clean with mild soap and cold water.
• Some Croslite styles can be washed on a gentle cycle, according to Crocs' care guidance.
• Remove Jibbitz and other accessories before cleaning.
• Air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated spot.
• Keep them away from direct sunlight and high heat.
• Never leave them sitting in a hot car for extended periods.

If you've got a Crocs style made from a different material, check the specific care instructions before giving it the full hose-down treatment.
