Oh no...I have never worn the "regular" Crocs but they used to make the most comfortable flip flops. Perfect for working in the garden or going to the beach. I actually wore my pair out earlier this year and couldn't find anywhere around here that sold them. I looked online and they weren't cheap, I think they were more than $40 a pair...for Croc flip flops.

I was just browsing and found a pair of dress flats for work.. sold out of most sizes.. I wonder if they will restock. I actually liked them too.. they didn't look so Croc'y.. lol |

I had one pair of Croc sandals that I loved and wore all the time. They were so comfortable. And then, my dog ate the strap.  I originally found them at Nordstrom Rack for $10. I still see them at the Croc outlet store but they want $30 for them and I haven't been able to bring myself to pay that much for them. I may now have to break down and buy a pair at that price. |

It seems from the article I read that they are being bought by Zappos. I wonder if Zappos is going to take over and manufacture them. - Edit to add - The above is NOT right. That's what I get for reading articles when I'm half asleep. The CFO is being replaced by someone from Zappos!  |

Oh no- I love my Crocs sandals for everyday wear. I'm going to have to grab a few pairs before the crazies buy them up to resell.

It says they are shutting down the manufacturing but they are going to have a new CEO? And they still have physical stores?

They still have a retail store at the Philadelphia Premium Outlets in Limerick PA if that is in driving distance for anyone. DD used to work there. I am thinking it’s a good thing she now has a different job.

Ugh, there is no better shoe for running the dogs outside. I love the fleece lined ones, there is always a pair by my back door by the leashes.

Crocs CFO is resigning end of the month and current Zappos CFO is replacing her. The two manufacturing facilities are closing, but that doesn't means Crocs aren't being made anymore. They've outsourced to other manufacturing facilities, and this news just means that Crocs doesn't have the overhead of the facilities anymore. I've had people texting, IMing, emailing, and tagging me about this all day. They know I practically live in Crocs - currently these: |

Patter . Might want to stock up These were my favorite but now I’m loving the Hoka ones. I have stocked up for years because they stopped making my favorite style years ago. I am hard to fit (W2/M4), and between the size and the style, I have to buy in bulk when I find them. Looks like I will wear them out a bit more before switching to a new pair. |

I bought a pair of 'actual' Crocs a number of years ago on vacation-- I actually bought some of the thingamajigs you stuck in the holes to decorate them, too. And they've been in my closet ever since that vacation was over with. |

I have a pair I use every time I step foot in my garden. They've lasted years and are still going strong. The clogs are hideous but the flip flops are the best. |

I could never wear crocs, because of the constant static shocks. Painful shoes aren't fun.

It just doesn’t have the same effect without those holey rubber shoes. |

I held out for a long time not getting any because the standard ones are so big and fugly. But a couple years ago I found a more streamlined mule version of them that is cuter and I relented. I love them for when I’m at the lake or taking the dog out or taking my DD to swimming. I was wondering why I couldn’t find another pair to buy so I could just leave them at the cabin. |
