I found this from a blog I read and loved it so much I wanted to share it. :)
"Perhaps our long international nightmare is finally over. Shares of Crocs Inc plummeted over 40 percent on Tuesday, a day after the maker of brightly colored plastic shoes slashed its sales and earnings projections for the first quarter and year, in what one analyst dubbed a “stunning fall.”
“Current macrotrends in the environment” have led to weaker-than-expected sales, according to Crocs Chief Executive Ron Snyder, speaking to analysts during a conference call on Tuesday. Colder weather and the closure of the company’s Canadian factory were also expected to crimp profit. Factories producing Satan’s feetwear are closing? Sales of ugly plastic clogs are plummeting? Super Villain CEOs are whining at the press?
Can ticker-tape parades and joyous public pronouncements of thanksgiving be far behind?"

Satan's footwear! That's hilarious! Crocs have to be the ugliest shoes ever!!! Hooray for their demise.
Oh, but their two latest models: the ballet flats and the mary-janes, are cute AND comfy! I have the black ballet flats and people die when I tell them they're crocs. "THOSE are crocs? but they're so cute? are they really? are you teasing me?"
oh, and >cough< jcpenny's has a, shall we say, more "cost effective" knock-off of the cute, uber-comfy ballet flats that have almost made me get another pair. You know... for the garden. :D

E, if indeed no one would recognize the ballet flats as belonging in the Croc family, I *might* consider them. I still think it would be a struggle though. :) LOL
