What Customers Are Saying (Reviews & Real-World Feedback)
They look stylish — even to Crocs skeptics
One NZ reviewer said:
“Incredibly comfortable… I’ve been wearing mine to the office, to Pilates and the supermarket. Even my boss, a certified Crocs hater,said ‘I suppose they don’t look like Crocs’.”
Comfort level: very high
The Getaway Strappy Slide has a strong average rating and a high percentage of international reviewers saying they’d recommend them to a friend. Many rave about the soft, floating straps and cushioned footbed.
They pair well with summer outfits
Reviewers also love how easy they are to style:
“Sleek meets casual in these sandals… their minimalist profile makes them easy to pair with spring and summer outfits.”
Things to Know Before You Buy (Honest Fit Feedback)
No shoe is perfect for everyone, here’s the useful real-world feedback to help you pick the right size:
Sizing
- The straps can feel roomy on narrower feet
- Some shoppers prefer to size down for a more secure fit
- If you’re between sizes, the smaller size may feel better
Tip: If you have a narrow foot or sit between sizes, consider sizing down.
Strap fit
A small number of reviewers mention the strap rubbing on first wear. This is common with many sandals and usually softens quickly as the material breaks in.
Platform feel
If you’ve never worn platform sandals before, you might notice the extra height at first. Most people get used to it quickly and love the subtle lift.
How to Style Crocs Getaway with NZ Summer Inspiration

Pair the Getaway Flips with togs, linen shorts or a breezy kaftan. They won’t pick up sand, dry fast and feel weightless on hot days.
