Crocs LiteRide Stretch Sandal

I bought these in 2020 to go on a cruise and they have become my daily shoes. Here we are into 2025 so far - still wearing them. I even wore them on a hike today in FL.The straps sometimes slip off the back of your foot, which I don't like, but it's infrequent enough. They go with almost everything you want to wear a day or night and are very super comfortable. Nobody would ever know they're even crocs at all.The only issue I have now is that there is a hole forming on the bottom… That always happens with all my crocs, but it took a good 4.5 years. So I would say for this being my daily pair for everything even hiking - they have held up really well. The pictures attached are what they look like as of today.I might buy another pair...

I originally purchased a navy blue pair, wore them to work for a week (house cleaning professional on my feet 8-10 hours a day in the Florida heat), and decided they are my new favorite shoes. Promptly purchased a black pair, love them just as much. More than a year of daily wear and both the blue and black are still the most comfy shoes I could possibly want and are showing virtually no wear and tear (aside from the footbed molding to the shape of my tootsies, which is actually a bonus!), so I ordered a gray pair. The gray ones are a bit different design (2 "toe straps" and a more forward-slanted heel strap than the originals, which have 1 toe strap and 1 heel strap that goes around the front of the ankle). The new ones are just as comfortable as the 2 original pairs I purchased last year, and based on the wear and tear (or lack thereof) on those original 2 pairs, I know I'll have years of comfortable feet with the new ones. Overall I am incredibly satisfied with these Crocs - they are FAR MORE stylish and comfortable than the regular old Crocs that everyone knows and loves (yes, I have 2 pairs of those too - great for the boat, but not overly stylish for daily wear). Cannot go wrong with the LiteRide sandals - excellent value as they wear like iron, comfortable as all heck, and I frequently get "cute shoes!" compliments. Everyone is surprised when I say "they're Crocs"!

These shoes are made in traditional Crocks fashion in that the are very comfortable anywhere they touch your feet and help with pain and fatigue from standing or walking in them for hours. They’re also a bit more stylish than the original crocks. My only complaint is that the soles shouldn’t be so white! After the first wearing which was just to the grocery store, the bottoms were very, very dirty. I parked close to the entrance so it wasn’t even because I had to walk on asphalt through the parking lot for a long distance. I’ve tried rinsing them off and rubbing the soles with a rag but haven’t tried any soap, The Pink Stuff or an anything like a Magic Erasure yet but I’m assuming any of them will make the appearance better but because of the tread, I doubt they will come completely clean. Not a huge deal except when in a waiting room, dentist chair, or any other chair where I might cross my legs and show off the filthy bottoms. I’m thinking I’ll just have to clean them after every wearing.

I’m a 6-1/2 with narrow heels, high arch and somewhat wider toes. I ordered in both 6 and 7 using Prime Wardrobe. The 7 was too loose so back it went. The 6 was a little tight and the arch felt a bit weird.Here’s how I made it perfect for me.First I followed the advice in another crock review and tossed them in a medium heat clothes dryer, along with a hand towel, for 4 minutes. Then I put them on my stockinged feet and wore them for an hour mostly standing or walking. I ended up doing this 2x, but the result was that they are perfectly molded to my feet with great cushioning everywhere.I found the back strap to be tight and it kind of twisted my foot when I walked, so I cut it off completely. I was concerned that it would make the shoe less secure on my foot but that didn’t happen. The rubber bottom kind of grips my feet and the fit is secure. Plus it’s a lot cuter looking. Less clunky and I like being able to just slide in and out of the without dealing with the back elastic strap.

When I first put these on, I thought OMG THESE ARE HEAVENLY. The soles are soooo comfortable. You can count on Crocs for that. But unfortunately, as other reviewers have noted, the straps are problematic for multiple reasons.1) The toe strap is NOT stretchy.It actually seems to be elastic sewed on top of regular fabric, so it looks from the outside and from pictures like all the straps are elastic. But unlike the middle strap and heel strap, the toe strap doesn't stretch, which means...2) The toe strap pinches my skin between it and the middle strap.You can see in my picture how the skin is a little red. This is just from walking around in them in the house for a few minutes. Maaaaaybe the fabric would start to give and form to my foot a bit more, but I'm not taking that risk. More likely, it would continue to rub/pinch and I would be even more uncomfortable when wearing for a prolonged amount of time.3) The shoe is long and narrow.I don't think I have very wide feet. Maybe a little? But it almost seemed as if my feet were too wide for these. I usually wear anywhere from a 5 to a 6, so I ordered up with a 6 and it still felt narrow.CONCLUSION: This shoe probably works great for certain feet shapes/types, but unfortunately not for mine. I feel like a lot of the issue would be solved if the toe strap were actually stretchy, but I guess I'll never know. Pretty bummed. I wanted to love these! Maybe I'll be able to find another pair of Crocs sandals I like...

I bought this pair two years ago and I have to say it’s one of the best purchases I made. I have taken this pair with me through several trips, most recently a 10-day trip in Europe, walking over 10k steps a day and my feet were never sore. Strongly recommended!
