We have no official position on Crocs, because if people want to dress like Playmobile characters, that’s fine with us.
Wall Street has a different opinion, however, and they’ve given the plastic shoes a vote of no confidence.
Croc’s stock dropped yesterday by 36%, reflecting a backlash to the ubiquitous shoes that seeps through fashion kids, city moms, and chatty blogs – there’s actually an entire website called I Hate Crocs.
Some retail analysts think it’s just a routine dip, but Crocs haters everywhere are hoping for the beginning of the end.
We don’t know so much about finance (those aspiring business babes out there should head to Dealbreaker instead), but we think Crocs are the new Uggs – once “cool” but also hated, undeniably functional, and ultimately enduring.
But if they’re not, you could probably recycle them into airplane seats or something.

in 10 years, all the 4 and 5 year-olds who have Crocs now are going to want them again, just like we all wanted (____ insert appropriate footwear here, mine would be jellies!) once we reached our late teens. I predict that Crocs will wane in popularity and then sometime around 2016-2018, suddenly be sold at Urban

At my school, Uggs are still 100% in style! I saw at least 5 girls wearing the Ugg-denim mini combo (ugh! or should I say Ugg! *dies at bad pun*), and untold multitudes wearing them with their jeans either tucked in (because all these girls wear flare jeans, it looks weird), tucked over the boots (no! this looks totally weird too!), or cuffed up above (this also looks funny. Would it kill these girls to by *gasp* skinny jeans which might look better? End rant.) Uggs aren’t wonderful, but they’re warm, practical, and expensive, which basically works at my school. Crocs, thankfully, are rarely seen, mostly on mid-to-old-aged woman and small children.

Thank you for putting words to why I love crocs- I feel like a Playmobile girl (who can do anything because I’m wearing rubbery plastic shoes!) And they will totally become hip at Urbans in 20 years.

I think Crocs are pretty ugly too, but if you work in a restaurant or hospital they are wonderful. The Crocs website isn’t lying when it says how comfortable they are. I also don’t really mind uggs. Yea, its super annoying when girls where them with mini skirts, because whats the point? They are super warm though, and sometimes thats all you need.

I’m pretty sure the first thing Japanese tourists do when they step off of the plane in Honolulu is buy Crocs. They all wear them. Even girls with otherwise interesting, cool clothes (who aren’t wearing awkward-fitting heels, of course). It hurts me inside.
