Crocs is the new Marmite

September 22nd, 2007 Dr Crocs 1 comment

You’ve got to admire the passion of the i hate crocs folks with their blogs, countless facebook groups, youtube posts and “crocs and scissors“ tee-shirts. Bandwagon rebels with a cause, these self proclaimed fashionistas with their truly inspired mall jeans/ tee-shirt/ skechers / converse combos can rant all they want. Create anything different, not to mention highly successful, and you’ll always get a few Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells archetypes, with time on their hands, writing in.

Meanwhile us crocs fans young and old are quietly benefiting from comfortable shoes and the many other crocs styles that are not the clog style for which 99% of their venom is aimed. I hate clogs would certainly be a more interesting proposition but to write off a company and its Croslite material is pretty wide of the mark.

Things are moving forward, Crocs make other shoes than Clogs you know, the Crox stock is booming and the Crocs shelves of Europe and rarely filled for long. With the advent of the You by Crocs women boot and shoe range (definitely no Clogs there) and the prospect of Croslite RT clothes on the horizon, the broadside “i hate crocs” blogs will slowly die away and Crocs Inc like many other successful mainstream American brands will become part of the fashion fabric.

Yes Crocs is the new Marmite. The shoes rarely illicit a neutral reaction; its either love of hate. As for me I’m a lover not a fighter and I do like Marmite too!

I Love Crocs

PS. When I launch the “I heart Crocs” tee-shirts you’ll be the first to know!

Let’s have the debate here – Love em or Hate em, why do you feel so passionate about Crocs?

Jibbitz and Disney Jibbitz

September 14th, 2007 Dr Crocs No comments

I’ve added a page to the crocs price comparison website dedicated to Jibbitz and also the range of Disney Jibbitz. When I’m out and about I’m always looking at what people are wearing and about half the women and children I see wearing Crocs have customised them with Jibbitz. Just the other day I chatted to two women about the website who were wearing Grey Crocs Caymans with large flower Jibbitz. So I thought it was about time I had put a greater focus on the kinds of Crocs Jibbitz you can get.

Urgent Scam Alert – Creeps.TV

September 12th, 2007 Dr Crocs 14 comments

For those of you familiar with my Blog, you’ll know that the Crox / Creeps saga has been ongoing with this company delivering Clog like Crocs fakes in the wrong sizes and colours. Now things have got worse and (the) Creeps have been taking peoples money and delivering nothing. They have always failed to respond to any attempt to contact them, but this morning’s feedback from Ruth is the last straw with these guys.

Its turned from poor customer service to an outright dishonest Crocs scam in my book. I want Creeps.TV closed down and customers to get ALL their money back.

Hey Creeps – you’ve had long enough to get real and be honest. You’ve now crossed the line and awoken the sleeping giant that is “The Dr Crocs blog”. Now the gloves are off and you’re going down! :D

Golden Rule 1 – If you don’t have the stock don’t charge people – how simple is that!

Golden Rule 2 – Don’t avoid (in this case totally hide) from the customer if things go wrong

Creeps.TV is a SCAM website

Creeps.tv is a scam

Ruth writes …

“I have another case where they’ve taken my money but not delivered anything. I ordered 3 adult pairs and haven’t received anything.
I’ve emailed them 3 times to try and find out when they will deliver and finally to request a refund of my money. I have received read receipts for all the emails so I know they’ve received and read the messages but they haven’t bothered to reply to any of them. To me this indicates that they aren’t just poorly organised but are dishonest!
I’ve contacted the local trading standards office and have raised a complaint with Paypal. I’m surprised that Paypal haven’t removed their merchant account as they must have had numerous complaints!”

Crocs Mammoth is the must have fashion item – its official

September 8th, 2007 Dr Crocs No comments

Croc Mammoth is not only riding high in the UK, its success has been picked up by US Stock Analysts now.

Shares of Crocs Inc. climbed Thursday after an analyst cheered the footwear retailer on its continued growth and better-than-expected results from its Mammoth product line.

Jeff Mintz of Wedbush Morgan Securities was pleased with Chief Financial Officer Peter Case’s assessment of the company’s operations in a management call. Business is accelerating across Europe, with strength in Japan coming from its Jibbitz, which are small decorative pieces that can be added to footwear. The United States is benefiting from strong Internet sales and adult sports licensing, according to the company.

Crocs Mammoth, a lined clog, has exceeded order expectations, with adult orders nearing 1 million pairs.

“We believe the Mammoth could become the ‘must have’ item of this holiday season, and expect the company will have a difficult time meeting demand for the product,” Mintz wrote in a note to clients.

Crocs Chart – September 2007

September 1st, 2007 Dr Crocs No comments

Will it stay sunny, rain or get colder? I guess nobody quite knows if we’ll get an extended late summer this month or as the days grow shorter, we’ll get cold and rain. The story of this month has been incredible amount of interest in the new Crocs Mammoth, coming from nowhere to rival the famous Cayman Crocs as we go into the Autumn season. Maybe people are voting with their feet (literally) and predicing an early Autumn.

The Cheap Crocs website lists all the shoe styles available to order in the UK, and occasionally further afield in Europe and in the USA. Each month we look at what’s hot with UK Croc buyers and compile this Crocs chart so you can see which products UK buyers are most interested in.
