The Crocs Trailbreak 2 is a sneaker-sandal hybrid with an abundance of materials for versatility and comfort. The upper starts with a mesh base with nylon overlays with cutouts for ventilation and bungee laces for speedy adjustments. Underfoot comes the familiar feeling of Croslite foam, which is reinforced with a harder rubber outsole. The exoskeleton of sorts also extends up the midfoot and toe to lock in the shoe and offer protection from debris.
Crocs’ updated Trailbreak is ushering in the Crocs Exp line, which carries the spirit of innovation in reimagining archival silhouettes. The Quick Trail and Quiet Clog appear to be backfills for the line, based on a dedicated page for the new line, but make no mistake that Exp is formally starting with the Trailbreak 2.
