Crocs auditor raises a red flag

Anyone who works on their feet - chefs, healthcare etc try MBT shoes. Much better for your feet and back than CROCS! Safer in the kitchen as well.

For all you shoe experts, what do you think the cost price on your Nike shoes are?

I received my first pair of CROCS as a gift from my son a few years ago. The hip pain that I had been suffering went away almost as soon as I put them on. And the back pain is now tolerable most days. I seldom wear anything but CROCS. So PLEASE, don't knock 'em. They may not be the prettiest shoe around but they are a life saver for a lot of people.

Crocs are O.K. for $30.00 or so, but they wear out too fast. Birkenstocks are just as comfortable and while they'll run you about $120.00 mine have lasted six years and still going strong.

Now if Uggs could just follow suit!!!! What are you thinking wearing Uggs big ol' boots with the fur like trim and a mini skirt?????? Fashion gods PLEASE don't fail us now!

Okay Okay with all you Crocs haters out there who keep making the same annoying speech that Crocs only cost 78 cents to produce and that they are so so ugly...blah blah blah! If you can make em so cheap then try. Go out and buy the machines...make the shoe molds in 19 kids-adults sizes which costs thousands...hire sales reps, customer service agents, buy warehouses, hire designers, print catalogues, attend all the wholesale shoe shows, build a show booth, make sample products for reps, and a multitude of other things....and you let me know when you get that production cost down to 78 cents! Bottom line...it cost more to produce a shoe than just the "crocslite" rubber that dumps into a mold...not to mention the shipping from china to boulder...to the distribution center and then to retailers. YES...THE SHOES ARE UGLY...but so are most people IMHO. Most of the prople complaining about how ugly Crocs are might want to look in the mirror. PS-Womens business suits, most American brand tennis shoes, white athletic socks, and turtleneck shirts are ugly too but nobody is complaining about them. And PS-to all the people who think that Crocs have saved your feet you need to look into some local businesses near you who sell actual "comfort" footwear and buy some real shoes! Crocs are glorified "crocslite" rubber. Despite what you think...they have ZERO arch support and they are not the most comfortable thing you have ever worn. If they are then you have never bought a pair of decent shoes in your entire life! Go buy some Merrells, Eccos, Clarks Unstructured Collection, or anything...but for gosh sakes buy some real shoes! I am not a Crocs lover. I admit that I own a store that sells Crocs and I think that they are great CHILDRENS shoes only! Adults look like children in them unless they are strictly buying them for garden shoes. Bottom line...brand name items cost more that nonbrand name items. It is the story of production, greed, desire, and the world! You can buy a Coach handbag for $350 or an off brand leather purse for $85. Same quality just one has the right label on it. It is time to shut up and move on all you Crocs haters. I don't love them either but they are not the first company to produce something in order to make money. All in all...it's time to move on. Kids...keep on wearing Crocs and Jibbitz they are cute, waterproof, and perfect for children. Adults...leave them in the garden and we will all be okay.

They may be ugly to some people. However, any shoe that my daughter and I can wear throughout Disney World for 7 LONG days and not have our feet in agony is a blessing. Not to mention they are anitimicrobial (sp?). So, whatever sweating you may do will not makle them stink. I am an avid supporter of Crocs and am saddened that they are in financial trouble. I don't care if they're ugly, they allow me to shop, play all day and remain pain free all at the same time. People who make fun of them obviously have never tried them!
