Crocs are so iconic and have become super popular for their really weird design, comfort and all of the vibrant colors. Making them is a short fast process because they have machines do it.

The main material Crocs are made of is a foam that’s call Croslite. It’s not regular foam, it’s a closed cell resin type of foam. It’s super light, it can actually float, but there is also lots of cushion. Those are reasons why Crocs can be super comfy.

The whole process of making a Croc starts with molding the foam into a mold that is the shape and design of the shoe. These molds are carefully crafted to have the parts of a Croc like the holes and heel strap.

After shaping the foam the shoes go into a heating machine to make the Croc more firm . The heat helps with durability and appearance and making sure that Crocs can withstand being worn daily.

Crocs are designed with strange things like placed holes. These holes give them their look and make them lighter, giving your feet airflow which makes them suitable for various activities like walks or water based adventures.

During the making of a Croc other parts like heel straps are attached in models. The end result is a pair of Crocs that has both looks and a comfortable shoe.
