1. Choose from lines tailored to men, women or children. There are flip-flops designed just for men called the Ithica and Crete. For women, there are Mary Janes and the Sassari in pink and white. Kids enjoy Disney-inspired Caymans decorated with Mickey Mouse ears.

2. Consider the function of the shoes. Whether you need them for boating, walking or playing, there is a pair of Crocs for you. The Hydro is a water shoe for swimming, the All Terrain can be worn in cold and wet weather and the Off Road is meant for what its name implies. There is even a pair of Crocs made specially for the working professional.
