Denver Crocs™ City Tours

Ask locals about their favorite places in Denver and you’ll get a long list of museums, attractions, shops, sporting events and concerts. If you ask them about their favorite footwear, it’s likely to be a pair of Crocs™ shoes, one of the world’s most comfortable walking shoes and a perfect fit for an extremely walkable city like Denver. A great way for you and your family to explore all the local favorites is to take the Denver Crocs™ City Tour. Along the way, you’ll experience the best the city has to offer, all the while enjoying the Mile High City’s 300 annual days of sunshine. At each stop you can pick up exclusive, custom-designed collectible Jibbitz™ charms, the delightful Crocs™ accessories that kids love. Grab a map at any of the featured locations, strap on your Crocs™ shoes and start discovering Denver.
