The Crocs LiteRide 360 Pacer redefines water shoe comfort with its innovative EVA foam construction, which remains virtually weightless even when wet. Unlike traditional mesh water shoes, it offers sneaker-like cushioning with a bubbled footbed that absorbs impact during walking. In drying tests, it outperformed competitors, reaching full dryness in just 1 hour 15 minutes thanks to its non-absorbent material and ventilation holes. The drainage system works effectively, though occasional shaking is needed to remove pooled water from the top-mounted ports. While the decorative laces are non-adjustable, the slip-on design fits securely for most foot shapes.
The rubber outsole provides more support than typical water shoes, making the LiteRide 360 comfortable for extended wear on land after water activities. Available in over a dozen colors, it upholds Crocs’ reputation for easy-care footwear while adding performance-focused features. The shoes run true to size but lack half sizes, and the foam construction should be kept away from high heat. Ideal for travelers, beachgoers, and anyone seeking water shoes that combine aquatic functionality with everyday comfort, the LiteRide 360 seamlessly bridges the gap between water and casual footwear.
