Crocs were first invented as shoes for sailors thanks to their lightweight, comfortable and slip resistant design. Today, they’re a global footwear staple, with dozens of styles available for all kinds of lifestyles.
Ideal for everyday wear, Crocs are a great option whether you’re going to the beach, travelling or just relaxing at home. The range includes a variety of unisex designs, as well as styles that are made specifically for men, women and children.
If you’re looking to purchase a pair, here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular Crocs styles and what you can expect to pay for them, alongside our live price comparisons from Australian retailers.
Crocs Classic Clogs deals
The Classic Clog is the iconic style that made the brand a global name. Featuring a backstrap and holes for ventilation, they’re easy to clean, comfortable and lightweight. The pivoting backstrap also makes them very versatile and allows them to be worn two ways – forward so you can more easily slip into or out of them, or at the back to give a more secure fit. The Classic Clogs are a unisex favourite and are available in a wide array of colours. They have a recommended Australian retail price of $79.99, though you can often find them on sale for as low as $39.
Crocs Women’s Classic Platform Clog
The Classic Platform Clogs are a take on the Classic Clogs, but offer a slight elevation – 1.6 inches to be exact. They’re designed and marketed for women, but honestly can be worn by anyone. The Classic Platform Clogs are made from the same Croslite material as the Classic Clogs and adopt essentially the same design, except for the added height and some additional holes in the backstrap that give the option to add Jibbitz. These are perfect for someone who wants a pair of Classic Clogs with some extra height and a trendier silhouette. The retail price for these shoes is $99.99 but they can occasionally be found on sale from around $49.
Crocs Unisex Baya Clogs
The Baya Clogs are very similar to the Classic Clogs, but have a slightly sleeker profile as well as advanced toe box ventilation that helps drain water and debris. The other big difference is that the Baya Clogs have the word ‘Crocs’ cut out on the sides of the shoe. This style is available in nine colours, so while there is some variety, it’s not as much as with the Classic Clogs. With a retail price of $79.99, the Bayas are often heavily discounted and you can pick them up for as little as $35.
Crocs Classic Lined Clogs
Offering a warm alternative to the Classic Clogs, the Lined Clogs feature the same iconic design but add a soft, fuzzy liner made from 100% polyester that makes them even more comfortable and helps keep your feet warm in colder weather. This style is perfect for someone who loves the comfort and versatility of the Classic Clogs but wants some extra warmth during the winter without having to wear socks. With a retail price of $94.99, this style can be found on sale for as little as $45 (especially during the warmer months). The Lined Clogs also come in a platform version if you’d prefer a bit more height.
Crocs Getaway Flip
The Getaway Flips are Crocs’s own version of thongs. They feature the classic between-toe design as well as Crocs’s own Free Feel Technology that gives the shoes a soft, flexible feel so you feel like you’re not wearing anything. The straps are also extremely smooth and the shoes are very lightweight, meaning they’re easy to wear all day. These are a great shoe for someone who wants a more comfortable, supportive pair of thong-style flip flops. With a retail price of $64.99, these shoes can often be found on sale from just $50. The Getaway Flips have a platform height of 1.1 inches but they also come in a taller 1.3 inch Platform version if you want some extra elevation.
Crocs FAQs
What is the cheapest Crocs style?
The Classic Clogs are generally the most affordable style, as well as the most widely available. They carry an RRP of $79.99 but are also often discounted by Australian retailers during sales periods, which can bring prices down to around the $40 mark.
Why are some Crocs more expensive than others?
The price of Crocs varies depending on the style,. Platform, lined clogs, sandals and styles from collaborations usually cost more than the Classic Clog designs. This is usually due to the extra materials or added features (such as lining or platforms) as well as the exclusivity of the style in the case of collaborations.
Do Crocs ever go on sale?
Yes, Crocs are often discounted at a wide range of Aussie retailers such as Amazon, The Iconic and Platypus Shoes during their sales. If you want to save on a pair of Crocs, it may be worth waiting for a big sales event such as the EOFY sales in June or Black Friday in November.
Are Crocs cheaper online or in store?
Prices for Crocs online and in store are usually similar, but this can depend where you shop. Online only retailers like Amazon often run frequent deals on Crocs, while brick-and-mortar retail chains such as Platypus Shoes typically offer the same prices online and in store. That said, online stores usually have a wider range of sizes and colours available. Shopping online can also give you access to promo codes, exclusive discounts and bundle deals which may ultimately provide better value than buying in store.
