Crocs are made primarily of a material called Croslite, which is a closed-cell resin material made from a polymer called ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)
. The production process involves creating a foamy structure using a process called injection molding, where molten plastic is injected into a mold and cools before emerging in its new shape
. The result is a breathable, loose-fitting, water-resistant shoe that supports and cushions the soles of your feet
. Some key aspects of Crocs include:
- Materials : The primary raw materials used in Crocs are ethylene-vinyl acetate, croslite, leathers, color dyes, rubber, and various chemicals for the foam production process
- Environmental Impact : Crocs is working on reducing its environmental impact by eliminating materials such as leather and wool, and by exploring sustainable materials and product ingredients
- Bio-based Material : In September 2021, Crocs introduced a new bio-based material into their product lines, which contains their main material, Croslite
- Sustainability Goals : Crocs aims to reduce product emissions 50% per pair by 2030 as part of their goal to become net-zero by 2030
Customers generally appreciate the comfort of Crocs shoes, and the light blue color is a popular choice among buyers
. However, some users may find the foam material to be less durable and long- lasting compared to traditional rubber or leather soles
