The problem is that they aren`t diversified enough. They need to come out with crock bags and hats!

Pretty much anyone with half a brain could see that they were a fad waiting to fade.
I just can't wait for it to fade quickly enough.

The thing that astonishes me is that there is actually a large, dedicated Crocs store in my city, in prime shopping real estate, opposite one of our large, upmarket department stores. There hardly ever seems to be anyone in there, so how on earth they make sufficient in sales to cover the rent eludes me. Then again, people in Australia pay $40 or more for a pair of "original Crocs", so perhaps they don't need to sell that many pairs after all...

The style that particularly irks me is the "fleece-lined Croc".
Are they meant to be a slipper, or are they meant to keep your feet warm in winter - despite the fact that they still have holes around the toe?
