Got Crocs? If you're a student at Thompson Elementary in North Andover, Mass., you'd better leave them at home along with your bubble gum, guns and flip-flops. Principal John McAller has banned Crocs and all other footwear that does not completely cover his students' feet. He says he's "looking out for his students' well-being on the playground and in the event of a fire emergency," according to Boston's WHDH-TV.Sure, one elementary school banning the wildly popular resin footwear might seem like a nonsensical concern for investors in Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX). But with the stock currently at stratospheric levels (CROX hit an all-time high today at $91.18, and is only going higher in after-hours trading) and many other safety concerns, from the dismemberment-by-escalator stories (I know, I know, I'm exaggerating!) to simple day-to-day trials of too much bark dust in kids' feet, the tide could be turned quickly. One too many cases of banned or boycotted Crocs and investors could see some of their amazing profits turn to ... so much bark dust.
