How to Put On Jibbitz

Customizing your Crocs is a fun and easy way to express your personal style. One of the most popular ways to do this is to add Jibbitz, the small, decorative charms that can be attached to the holes in the shoes. While putting on Jibbitz may seem like a simple task, there are a few tricks to make sure they stay in place and look their best.

To start, make sure your Crocs are clean and dry. This will help the Jibbitz adhere better to the shoes. Next, choose the Jibbitz you want to use and insert the post into one of the holes in the shoe. Push down on the Jibbitz until it clicks into place. If you have difficulty getting the Jibbitz to click into place, you can use a pair of pliers to gently squeeze the post until it fits.

Once the Jibbitz is in place, you can adjust it to the desired position. To remove a Jibbitz, simply pull it straight out of the hole. With a little care, your Jibbitz will stay in place and add a touch of personality to your Crocs for years to come.

Choosing the Right Jibbitz

When selecting Jibbitz, several factors come into play:

Personal Style and Preferences

Choose Jibbitz that align with your unique style and interests. Consider your favorite colors, patterns, characters, and hobbies. Whether it’s florals, abstract shapes, or iconic movie characters, there’s a vast array of options to express your personality.

Size and Shape

Determine the available space on your Crocs and choose Jibbitz that fit comfortably within those dimensions. Consider both the width and height of the Jibbitz to ensure they don’t overlap or crowd each other. Experiment with different shapes to create a visually appealing arrangement.

Material and Durability

Jibbitz are available in various materials such as PVC, rubber, and metal. Choose materials that are durable and can withstand wear and tear. Consider the environment in which you’ll be wearing your Crocs to select Jibbitz that can withstand potential exposure to water, sunlight, or rough surfaces.

Theme and Message

If you want to convey a specific theme or message through your Jibbitz, explore collections inspired by pop culture, motivational quotes, or special events. There are Jibbitz that represent sports teams, fashion trends, and charitable causes, allowing you to express yourself and support your passions.

Preparing the Crocs

Cleaning and Drying the Crocs

Before you can add Jibbitz, it’s essential to ensure your Crocs are clean and dry. Dirt and moisture can make it difficult for the Jibbitz to adhere properly.

Performing a Hole Inspection

Once your Crocs are clean, inspect the holes to ensure they’re in good condition. Check for any tears, cracks, or blockages that could prevent the Jibbitz from fitting securely.

Choosing the Right Jibbitz

The vast selection of Jibbitz available allows for endless customization options. Consider your personal style and interests when choosing the Jibbitz that best suit your Crocs.

Preparing the Jibbitz

Some Jibbitz have a thin protective film covering their base. If present, this film should be removed before inserting the Jibbitz into the Crocs.

Inserting the Jibbitz

To insert the Jibbitz, simply line it up with the desired hole and apply gentle pressure. You should hear a distinct “click” sound when the Jibbitz is securely in place.

Adjusting the Jibbitz

Once inserted, the Jibbitz can be slightly rotated or adjusted to ensure it sits flush with the surface of the Croc and faces the desired direction.

Aligning

Align the Jibbitz with the corresponding hole on the shoe. Ensure that the shape of the Jibbitz matches the shape of the hole. For square Jibbitz, align the corners with the corners of the hole. For circular Jibbitz, align the center of the Jibbitz with the center of the hole.

Pressing

Firmly press down on the Jibbitz until you hear a click or feel it snap into place. The Jibbitz should be securely attached to the shoe without wobbling or moving around. If the Jibbitz is not fully inserted, it may come loose or fall off.

Tips for Pressing Jibbitz Securely

Use both hands to apply even pressure on the Jibbitz.

Start pressing from the center and gently work your way outwards.

If the Jibbitz is difficult to press in, try wiggling it slightly before applying pressure.

If the Jibbitz still does not fit securely, check if the hole on the shoe is too small. You may need to gently widen the hole using a small tool like a toothpick or tweezers.

Pressure Point	Description
Center	Apply firm pressure directly on the center of the Jibbitz.
Edges	Gently press down on the edges of the Jibbitz, starting from the center and moving outwards.
Corners (for square Jibbitz)	Focus on pressing down on the corners to ensure a secure fit.

Securing the Jibbitz

Once you’ve chosen the perfect Jibbitz for your Crocs, it’s time to secure them so they won’t fall off. Here are the steps to ensure your Jibbitz stay firmly in place:

1. Choose the Right Holes

Crocs have a series of small holes specifically designed for Jibbitz. Choose the holes that are located in the desired position, ensuring there’s enough space for the Jibbitz to fit comfortably.

2. Align the Jibbitz

Align the Jibbitz with the holes on the Croc. Make sure the post or stud on the back of the Jibbitz is facing the hole.

3. Press Firmly

With one hand, firmly hold the Croc with the hole aligned with the Jibbitz. Using your other hand, press down on the Jibbitz with enough force to push the post or stud through the hole.

4. Push Through

Continue pressing down until the post or stud has completely passed through the hole and the Jibbitz is secured.

5. Rotate and Push

Once the Jibbitz is pushed through the hole, twist it slightly while pushing down again. This helps to lock the Jibbitz in place and prevent it from falling out. Repeat these steps for all the Jibbitz you want to secure.
