This year may go down as one of Crocs’ most prolific, ever. And that’s saying a lot, as the brand has had a pretty impressive ascendance over its 23-year history.

One of the reasons this year has been so significant for the brand is its expansion into new spaces, particularly the outdoors. Perhaps the best example of this endeavor is the Crocs Echo Ro Clog.

While this bold new design shares some crucial elements in common with the brand’s traditional clogs, it’s also a major departure in others.

As to the former, it retains an upper crafted from the brand’s proprietary Croslite foam and maintains the signature perforations (which support the brand’s Jibbitz charms and act as ventilation and drainage holes). They also retain a soft, cushy LiteRide footbed.

However, the outsole is unlike those of other Crocs. Instead of a single piece of Croslite for the upper and outsole, this one has a full-length, wraparound, treaded rubber outsole. That grants these clogs a better grip on uneven terrain, even in inclement weather, making them a lot more adept for outdoor usage, like camping and (light) hiking.

They’ve also been given a more sporty, secure nylon back strap. Toe to heel, these are much more athletic, adventurous shoes than the brand has previously offered.
