While the upper half of Crocs’ new Echo Gum RO Clog appears like any other clog in the brand’s lineup, the bottom half dons a new look. Created with the typical cushioned and lightweight Croslite material, this hybrid clog also features a LiteRide cushioned footbed for further comfort. Also included are the typical ventilation holes and signature backstrap. The new outsole replaces the previous Croslite material with a rubber-like material, providing enhanced traction and grip on uneven surfaces. Available now for $75 via Crocs’ webstore, the new clog is ideal for traveling through the elements while still keeping your feet safe and comfortable. Rock them on the streets or after your hikes, these Crocs are a must for keeping yourself comfortable all day.
