Last year, Crocs launched a revised version of its signature clog meant to pay homage to classic boat shoes. Funny enough, Crocs were actually originally designed for the very same purpose: as deck footwear.

Now, the brand has returned to that silhouette, albeit with a far more vibrant reinterpretation that, itself, pays tribute to the outdoors in a different way. And the Crocs Classic Duck Camo Boat Shoe could very well be another big hit … for all its strangeness.

Duck, duck, Croc!

The initial launch (and the follow-up drop) of the Crocs Classic Boat Shoe came in some pretty interesting colorways. However, they were mostly relatively tame.

The available colors included all-black, brown and tan and green and brown. Eventually, an off-white pair and a green and beige pair were added, alongside arguably the boldest color of them all: Blue Bolt. This new option, however, blows all those other ones out of the water, metaphorically speaking.

That’s because this new take sports a bold, multi-hue duck camo with a tan base and a pattern with dark blue and multiple shades of orange (or red, depending on who you ask). Ironically, this camouflage is a bright slap of color, making these shoes almost certain to get anyone wearing them noticed.

And while that colorway is definitely the most novel part of this release, it’s far from the only interesting bit. In fact, just like its siblings that came before it, this take on Crocs clog has quite a bit to offer.

Come sail away

If you’re familiar with the Crocs Classic Boat Shoe, you probably know what you’re in for already; this take is made the same way, beyond its bold new colorway. But if you aren’t aware and this new take has caught your eye, allow me to enlighten you:

The base shoe is still a Croc clog through and through. It has the same Croslite foam upper and outsole, including its Jibbitz charm-friendly perforations in the upper and a slip-resistant outsole grip (unironically, designed for deck wear). That also means they’re lightweight, waterproof, and easy to clean and care for.

However, they have a noteworthy swap around the collar. Instead of a mule-style slip-on with a convertible foam strap, these clogs eschew that entirely in exchange for an upper reminiscent of Sperrys (and other classic boat shoes), with the same classic lacing system and all.

That means they have a higher back, which helps keep water out of your shoes. It’s also made from faux leather, so it won’t shrink or crack when exposed to moisture or the sun. And yes, they’re obviously highly unique-looking beyond their new camo colorway.
