Take your issue up with NPR … they are quoting “The company lost $185.1 million last year and now has until September to pay off its debt”

That sounds like nearly $200,000,000 to me…. the article stands as it appears to be correct… Get NPR to retract and I will as well.. but they are the source .

I’m writing in response to the July 16th article on Crocs. We sell comfortable, durable shoes in a wide variety of appealing styles for men, women and children, and offer great value. This is a good business to be in at a time when families are watching their budgets, and we’re confident in the future of our company.

Critics who suggest we are a one-shoe company couldn’t be more wrong. As we explained to the Post’s reporter, we currently have more than 120 styles of casual, comfortable footwear, including sandals, boots, heels, wedges, flats and functional footwear for people who work on their feet or who have foot or back problems, along with our signature clogs. Don’t take my word for it – you can see for yourself an example of the variety of styles we offer at http://www.crocs.com/womens-footwear-heels-and-wedges/women-footwear-heelsWedges,default,sc.html.

As the article correctly points out, we face challenges resulting from rapid growth. We’ve taken action to address those challenges, including aligning our production capacity to meet demand, reducing our overhead expenses and the size of our workforce, and paying down debt. We are making excellent progress in dealing with these operational issues.

There are more than 100 million consumers in 125 countries that love our product. The Crocs brand is only five years old, and already it’s almost as well-known as Nike and Adidas. It’s an icon and whether people love it or hate it, they talk about it – as the online response to this article demonstrates. The Crocs brand remains strong and, inspite of our recent operational difficulties (not unique to Crocs in this economic situation), we remain one of the largest manufacturers of casual shoes.

Crocs shoes are perhaps the perfect product for a world in which value and simplicity are replacing avarice and over-consumption. We appreciate the support of our many loyal customers, retailers, investors and employees around the world.

The way of Cabbage Patch Kids??? This reporter obviously has no clue to what he’s reporting on. Cabbage Patch kids have been around 26+ years and still remain the largest selling LARGE doll.

As much as I like to debate with you the concept of the Cabbage Patch dolls being the end all of all toys past and present …… even beating out the pet rock… keep your discussion on Crocs…

I guess if prez Obama wore them you would endorse the product. Slipping in the “Bush” name and using politics, “invader in chief”, points to the real issue here - STUPIDITY and failure to research FACTS.
