 Are Crocs Non Slip shoes? – [Facts & Myths Analyzed]

Do you want to test your knowledge on the best non-slip shoe? If so, then read this article and find out if Crocs is a good choice for you. 

The company that sells these shoes produces a wide array of them and has been around since 1966. These types of shoes are made from a variety of materials such as rubber, foam, neoprene, mesh and plastic which makes them a very reliable item for those who are into different sports or activities.



Crocs were primarily designed for those who are in the hospitality industry as well as those who have to work in difficult climates such as those that are very hot. These shoes were created by a man named Scott Bejelly from Colorado, hence the name Crocs which sounds like the term crocodile. This is because of its non-slip properties that help prevent accidents or injuries from slippery conditions.

With its growing popularity, this kind of shoe has expanded to other markets and have become popular among people who are always on their feet such as nurses. People who work in hospitals, restaurants and even janitors wear these shoes since they are unique and comfortable enough for them to wear even during long shifts without experiencing much foot fatigue or pain.

Are Crocs Slip-Resistant Shoes?

Slip-resistance starts with shoes that have an elevated heel; which Crocs does not offer. Heel elevation prevents your feet from sliding out from under you in slippery conditions. Many shoes also feature non-marking soles that provide traction even on wet surfaces. Finally, there are some shoe models with a rubber sole that acts as a shock absorber, dispersing the impact of a slip or fall to prevent injury. 

Although Crocs are slip-resistant, the brand does not claim its shoes meet the United States (US) Military's regulation for footwear (MIL-F-81240). MIL-F-81240 calls for shoes that are not only slip resistant but will also "provide protection against electrical hazards". So if you're planning on wearing Crocs in wet conditions, make sure they have non-marking soles and have not been tested for electrical hazards.

Crocs were also found to have a glossy finish that can be slippery. For this reason, the company's shoes should never be worn on "wet ice", like the deck of a ship or anywhere a wet floor sign is posted. Crocs' colorful style and unusual shape have caused some people to associate their slip-resistance with fashion, which has led to some serious injuries for men and women wearing them [source: Crocs]. Keeping in mind the fact that the brand does not claim its shoes are slip-resistant will help you better understand what slip-resistant really means.

If you do choose to wear Crocs, we recommend a pair that has non-marking soles and has not been tested for electrical hazards. As far as fashion goes, we don't suggest wearing them in wet conditions like the deck of a ship or anywhere a wet floor sign is posted.



How Do I Know If My Shoes Are Non Slip?


Do you have a pair of shoes that are slipping on your heels? These tips will show you what to look for and how to find out if it's time to retire your favorite pair.

-Examine the soles of the shoes and see if there are any visible marks where they've been slipping. This could be due to wear and tear, an improperly placed insole, or a loose heel cap which is causing the shoe's weight distribution to shift.

-If you're looking at a leather shoe, check for any cracks in the bottom of them or any discoloration on the toes. If there is discoloration, it could mean that they've been damaged from water damage (or just age).
