RIP Crocs - You Will Not Be Missed
The “fashion” phenomenon that was Crocs is coming to an end. So many people had these ugly plastic clogs that anti-Crocs Facebook groups and blogs started popping up proclaiming “I don’t care how comfortable they are, you look like a dumbass.” So, how exactly did these shoes become the darling of the shoe industry with the biggest IPO in shoe stock history? First, they made a product out of a material that is pretty indestructable - which means people don’t need to replace them so often (unless they really want every single color), and second, they completely oversaturated the market. It seemed like no matter where you went, Crocs were everywhere. In Soho, where Tenessee Mountain used to be, there was a sign proclaiming that a Crocs boutique was coming soon. The sign had been up for a few years, and no progress was being made on the space - that could have been the first sign that this fad really did not have staying power. I am kind of glad, because this means less people with atrocious footwear.
