Why all Crocs have only 13 holes?

Andrew Reddyhoff created the original sandal design, which is where Crocs got their start. Reddyhoff created a foam boat shoe that was comfortable, slip-resistant, and floated, making it appropriate for a variety of water sports. 

All 200 of the company's Beach models, which it introduced at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in Florida in 2002, were soon sold out, proving the footwear's immediate appeal.

The amphibious, multi-environment crocodile served as the inspiration for the brand name because the shoes were made to function well on both land and water.

But, do you know! Why do Crocs have holes?

A genuine pair of Crocs has 26 holes in total, 13 per shoe.

Crocs were originally intended to be a lightweight, comfortable, slip-resistant shoe that could float, which is a significant benefit for sailors who might lose a shoe over the side of a boat.

There are exactly 13 holes on each pair of Crocs.

The holes serve as ventilation and let out excess moisture to keep the shoes fresh. 

That’s where the thirteen holes come into play – they allow air to circulate around the foot and for sweat to evaporate.
