The 10 Best Clogs For Kids
by John Smith10. Amoji Slippers
If your child can't be bothered with straps, then she'll love that the Amoji Slippers (around $14) just slide right on. Even picky kids who don't like similar shoes tend to enjoy these. Unfortunately, the traction isn't good enough for slippery surfaces.
- Stay on the feet well
- Flexible material
- Sharp objects can puncture them
9. Crocs Klarin
Parents of clumsier munchkins will feel more confident putting them in the Crocs Klarin (around $25). The double strap design holds the foot steadily while your child jumps and plays at the shore. Plus, they're harder for rambunctious wearers to take off — which can be a good thing.
- Can be tossed in the washing machine
- Spacious toe area
- May cause blisters
8. Capelli New York Dip Dyed
Give the mini hippie in your life the Capelli New York Dip Dyed (around $10), so she can wear them while out petitioning with you for social issues. Their two layers of drainage holes — both big and small — keep bulkier particles out, but still release water quickly.
- Perfect for a lake trip
- Stand up to plenty of use
- Sizes run a bit large
7. Clogstrom Animals
Any toddlers will giggle with joy when they slip their feet into the adorable Clogstrom Animals (about $13), as they look like little caterpillars. The mouths and noses beneath the cute, big eyes cleverly serve as front ventilation holes.
- Make gardening more fun
- Rarely cause blisters
- Not enough arch support
6. Crocs Shark
If the beach intimidates your little ones, they'll feel bolder in the Crocs Shark (appx. $24). Their eyes and teeth feature LED lights that flash when the wearer walks, which will definitely bring in compliments. Plus, they can be worn without socks without causing sweat buildup.
- Hard-wearing soles
- Available in a wide range of sizes
- Limited drainage holes
5. Crocs Crocband
The preppy stripes on the Crocs Crocband (appx. $24) make these ready for a country club or private school, while their relaxed look is something more mature kids might enjoy. There are tons of colors to choose from, all of which are true to the photos.
- Good for wider feet
- Match most outfits
- Straps can feel too tight for some
4. Crocs Swiftwater
Your little beach adventurers loves to stomp around in the ocean, but you don't know what lies beneath. Luckily, the Crocs Swiftwater (around $22) can protect the bottoms of your children's feet from sharp rocks, pieces of glass, and the other items in the sand while they play.

- Do well on slippery surfaces
- Comfortable enough for all-day wear

- Perfect for playing in the sand
- Feel soft against the foot
2. EQuick Beach
If your cutie is attached to his Chucks and it's hard to get him to wear much else, he may slip on the EQuick Beach (around $9), since they look very similar. These boast EVA cushioning that is remarkably lightweight, while still providing protection against impacts.
- Massaging texture in the footbed
- No real laces to struggle with
- Materials breathe well
