I don't have any, but I think they are the best children's shoes ever. My kids are 3 and almost 6 and have never had a problem falling in Crocs. They're just so easy to hose off when they're dirty, my kids can put them on easily by themselves, they're comfortable, and you can get them in all colors. We have both Crocs and knock-offs.</p> <p>You know, in 30 years, they'll come back around like the jellies we wore as kids! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80471 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:05:42 +0000 Laura 80471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting business, Khris!</p> <p>Angie's point is interesting, too. Maybe the knock-offs are eroding Crocs' business. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80432 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:42:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 80432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh- I have a small hand dyed yarn company. It's called Chewy Spagehtti. Well, it's not much anymnore. But, before the economy went to pieces, I was spending a lot of time dying yarn for yarn shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80422 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:25:52 +0000 Anonymous 80422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Miss Spaghetti, I'm dying to know why you are dying yarn. (sp?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80382 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:44:53 +0000 chewyspaghetti 80382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the copies everywhere. I have to admit that I bought some (real) crocs to wear while I dye yarn- it's messy work so I needed something that could get wet, but still give me arch support. I really didn't like them though. The straps broke quickly, and they didn't have great support even though I got one of the specialty pair. It is sad that yet another business is having difficulties, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80370 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:32:20 +0000 Angie 80370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very sad, the layoffs I mean. </p> <p>But there are plenty of Crocs copies. Anyone seen them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80367 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:25:31 +0000 Anonymous 80367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank goodness they may be going away! I also worked at an elementary school that banned the shoes. I think the teachers were more upset by than than the students. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80366 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:22:44 +0000 Laura 80366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes Maya, that's true. My son had a pair of red Crocs when he was 3. I thought they were so cute until he face-planted into the asphalt. Bye-bye, Crocs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80362 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:45:10 +0000 Maya 80362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted this on my FB account and saw that a few of my friends re-posted it to theirs. Job loss is awful, but I can't help but feel a sense of delight that I'll be seeing fewer garish rubber shoes in my future. </p> <p>One of my friends who re-posted it teaches kids in an elementary school and says Crocs are a regular cause for slips, trips, and falls among her students. Not just ugly, but dangerous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crocs-the-fad-is-over#post-80356 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:16:15 +0000 Laura 80356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crocs laid off a third of their employees. And lost $185 million last year!</p> <p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/07/16/business/econwatch/entry5166703.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2.....6703.shtml</a></p> <p>I feel sorry for the people who lost jobs, but I am happier thinking of a world with fewer Crocs </p>
