Why Lego Crocs Brick Clogs are Trending in 2026
As we move through January 2026, the collaboration between Lego and Crocs has moved from a niche collectible to a mainstream fashion staple. The "Brick Clogs" aren't just shoes; they are a modular platform. Featuring a functional base that allows you to build actual Lego structures onto the heel and strap, they have captured the imagination of Gen Z and collectors alike.
In the Philippines, the hype is amplified by social media. However, local retail availability remains inconsistent. While some boutique shops might carry them at a 200% markup, the smartest move is to source them directly from where the stock is most plentiful: the United States.
Why You Should Buy Directly from the US
US retailers like Crocs.com, Foot Locker, and Amazon US receive the largest inventory allocations. This means more sizes, more colorways, and, most importantly, the original retail price. Buying from the US allows you to bypass the "hype tax" charged by local resellers in Metro Manila or Cebu.
To pull this off, you need a comGateway account. This provides you with a US-based shipping address, effectively making you a local shopper in the eyes of American retailers. Using a reliable package forwarder is the only way to access stores that do not provide international shipping to Southeast Asia.
The Speed Run: How to Buy Step-by-Step
If you want these clogs on your feet by next week, you need to be efficient. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure no time is wasted:
- Step 1: Get Your US Address. Sign up for a free account at comGateway to receive your tax-free Oregon shipping address.
- Step 2: Shop US Stores. Head to the official Crocs US site or major retailers. Use your Oregon address at checkout.
- Step 3: Handle Payment Issues. Some US stores are picky about Philippine credit cards. If your transaction fails, don't panic. You can use the BuyForMe service where a US-based team will make the purchase on your behalf.
- Step 4: Consolidate and Ship. Once your Lego Crocs arrive at the warehouse, you can ship them immediately to the Philippines.
Shipping to the Philippines: The Logistics Strategy
Shipping footwear can be tricky because of box dimensions. Volumetric weight often costs more than actual weight. To save money, consider asking for "repacking" once your clogs arrive at the warehouse. This removes unnecessary air and oversized outer boxes.
Before you ship, it is always wise to estimate shipping cost using an online tool. This prevents any surprises when the final bill arrives. Typically, express shipping from the US to the Philippines takes 3 to 5 business days once the package leaves the warehouse, making it faster than many local "pre-order" sellers.

Calculating Costs and Managing PH Customs
In the Philippines, the De Minimis value is 10,000 PHP. If your total transaction (including shipping and insurance) stays below this amount, you are exempt from import duties and VAT. Since a pair of Lego Crocs Brick Clogs typically retails for around $70 - $110 USD, you are safely under the limit even with shipping costs factored in.
| Item | Estimated Cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Lego Crocs Brick Clogs | $85.00 |
| Estimated Shipping to PH | $25.00 - $40.00 |
| Total | ~$110.00 - $125.00 |
Compared to reseller prices in the Philippines which can exceed 12,000 PHP, importing them yourself is the clear winner for both speed and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizing should I choose?
Crocs generally run large. Since you are buying from the US, remember that sizes are listed in US Men's and Women's. A US Men's 8 is roughly equivalent to a UK 7 or an EU 41. Always check the specific size chart on the retailer's website before confirming.
What if my package is delayed?
If you encounter issues with your shipment or have questions about the warehouse process, you can always reach out to the FAQ or contact their support team for real-time updates. Most delays are due to US domestic couriers, not the international leg of the journey.
How do I know they are authentic?
By purchasing from reputable US retailers like Crocs.com, Foot Locker, or Finish Line, authenticity is guaranteed. Avoid third-party marketplaces with prices that seem too good to be true, as 2026 has seen a rise in high-quality replicas of this specific collaboration.
