| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” includes Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries within our reportable operating segments and corporate operations. We are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for all. We strive to be the global leader in the sale of casual footwear characterized by functionality, comfort, color, and lightweight design.
|
| Segment Reporting | Our reportable operating segments include: (i) the Crocs Brand and (ii) the HEYDUDE Brand. See Note 13 — Operating Segments and Geographic Information for additional information.
|
| Principles of Consolidation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”) and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report.
|
| Reclassifications | Reclassifications We have reclassified certain amounts in Note 3 — Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, Note 9 — Revenues, and Note 13 — Operating Segments and Geographic Information to conform to current period presentation.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used to determine certain amounts that affect the financial statements are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. Management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, customer rebates, sales returns and allowances, impairment assessments and charges, recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, income tax expense, share-based compensation expense, the assessment of lower of cost or net realizable value on inventory, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, goodwill, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

| New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted | New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has released Pillar Two model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations to be effective starting with tax periods ending in 2024. Various jurisdictions we operate in have enacted or plan to enact legislation beginning in 2024 or in subsequent years. There remains uncertainty as to the final Pillar Two rules as the OECD continues to release guidance and modifications to the rules. We do not anticipate the Pillar Two rules will have a material impact on our 2024 consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance related to the disclosure of rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but it will require increased disclosures within the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the segment disclosures. This guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a retrospective basis. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but it will require increased disclosures within the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after September 30, 2024 are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

| Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities | Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Our non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value.
|
| Derivatives Financial Instruments | We transact business in various foreign entities and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that impacts the reported U.S. Dollar (“USD”) amounts of revenues, expenses, and certain foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and to reduce the volatility in earnings caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may enter into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currency. By policy, we do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation. Counterparty default risk is considered low because the forward contracts we enter into are over-the-counter instruments transacted with highly-rated financial institutions. We were not required to and did not post collateral as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within either ‘Prepaid expenses and other assets’ or ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain components of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or we elect not to apply hedge accounting. We report derivative instruments with the same counterparty on a net basis when a master netting arrangement is in place. For the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we classify cash flows from derivative instruments at settlement in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged items within ‘Cash provided by operating activities.’ As of September 30, 2024, we have derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (“non-hedged derivatives”), which consist of foreign currency forward contracts primarily used to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. For our non-hedged derivatives, changes in fair value are recognized within ‘Foreign currency losses, net’ in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We also have cash flow hedges (“hedged derivatives”) as of September 30, 2024. We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar. Specifically, we have subsidiaries that transact in currencies other than their functional currency. We use cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to our external sales and external purchases of inventory. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the exchange rates for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. We may also use currency option contracts under which we will pay a premium for the right to sell a specified amount of a foreign currency prior to the maturity date of the option. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in ‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’ in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, the related gain or loss is subsequently reclassified to ‘Revenues’ or ‘Cost of sales’ in the condensed consolidated statements of income, which is consistent with the nature of the hedged transaction.
