‘Tis finally the season for us lowly Brits to enjoy an inkling of spring and summer sunshine. While those lucky enough to dwell on sunnier isles might sport a pair of rubber clogs or sandals year-round, in the UK, kids and adults alike are only just beginning to dust theirs off.
There are two camps when it comes to practical warm-weather footwear: understated and utilitarian Birkenstock lovers, and the fun, funky yet sensible Crocs obsessives.
If you belong to the latter, welcome friends: you’re in the right place. They’re on sale thanks to the Amazon Spring Deal Days extravaganza, and there’s never been a better time to invest in a new pair.
But have you ever wondered what exactly inspired the iconic rubber clog? Invented over two decades ago back in 2002, the Croc’s founders (bizarrely aptly named (Scott Seamans, Lyndon Hanson and George Boedecker Jr.) were inspired by the practicality of the boating clog and acquired a design template which would become the foundation for the waterproof sandal.
The first Crocs shoe, named ‘the Beach,’ was unveiled in Florida in 2002 and all 200 pairs sold out straight away, signalling the beginnings of a new footwear obsession. They soon became popular among adults looking for a functional working shoe that can be slipped on for gardening, boating or even taking the bins out, while kiddos adored their lace-free design.
The invention of Jibbitz in 2005, charms designed specifically for Crocs to customise your favourite clogs, cemented the shoe as a favourite among kids for good. In the last few years, Jibbitz have undergone a high-fashion makeover and are now available in sparkling styles that’ll catch the eyes of grown ups too – especially for those chic, platform Crocs Crush Clogs.
Jibbitz are also on offer in the Amazon Spring Sale - grab a variety pack for up to 27 per cent off.
Save up to 49 per cent on a classic pair of Croc clogs, depending on what colour and style you opt for.

Crocs Classic Platform Flip Flops
No brand has had a revival in recent years quite like Crocs. And, if you can’t bring yourself to invest in one of the more clunky designs, the brand’s flip flops might just act as a stepping stone. The Classic Platform Flip Flops in Oxygen Blue could easily be mistaken for any other flip flop brand but have the added bonus of featuring that enviable comfort that all Crocs lovers mention.
With a platform design and room to add a variety of accessories (if you’re so inclined), this vibrant blue pair promises to contrast beautifully against your soon-to-be-tanned toes.

Crocs Brooklyn Low Wedge
Bringing a little colour, height and style to your walking set-up, the wedge-heeled sandal could be just what your city-break wardrobe has been missing.
Once you secure your feet inside with the pushpin closure, you’ll notice the brand’s unique LiteRide foam technology which places your comfort at the forefront. Plus, the deep heel cups ensure your foot stays secure and stable as you stride.
But just be warned: if hiking over hills is more your thing than wandering through a new city, it may be best to save these sandals for lesser treacherous climbs.
