Leaving Crocs in a hot car can permanently damage their shape and fit.
Key Effects of Heat on Crocs
-
Crocs can shrink when exposed to high heat for extended periods
-
The Croslite™ foam material is heat-sensitive and may warp or curl
-
Shape distortion can make them uncomfortable or unwearable
-
Colors may fade faster in direct sunlight and heat
-
The shoes may become misshapen even if not visibly melted
What to Do Instead
-
Always store Crocs in a cool, shaded place
-
Avoid leaving them in parked cars, under windows, or near heaters
-
If they do shrink slightly, you can reshape them using warm water and wearing them with socks
Heat can ruin your Crocs permanently—avoid leaving them in hot environments.
