Are Crocs considered a water shoe?
Crocs are the perfect water shoe due to their water resistant and easy to clean material. They are also buoyant and light, so they won’t weigh you down in the water. The ventilation ports also add breathability that makes moving through water easy and drying them off quick. That said, Crocs lack arch support, so exercising, walking for an extended period of time, or working in them is not recommended by foot specialists. The plastic construction may also lead to sweaty, stinky feet and even blisters.Crocs™ provides a wide array of boating shoes for any aquatic adventure, complete with ventilation ports to allow for breathability and to enable water to escape the shoes in case you should encounter rough seas.
