CROX HAS HAD A LARGE SHORT POSITION PUT ON SINCE AUGUST, NOT THAT Faisal WOULD HYPE THE STOCK "cause for action - Buy!" AND THEN BE SHORTING IT, BUT WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT POSITIONS HE HAS.

I was quite surprised because the "non-slip" resign had actually saved me from slipping in several restrooms where I had previously slipped while wearing my new pair of Reeboks. I took the time to look at the bottom of my Crocs and realized that I had worn down the threads to just about a smooth surface where most of weight rests. It is time for a new pair. I think the same thing happened to Ben, once the thread is worn out it is time for a new pair of shoes.

I am used to wearing my shoes for 6 months or even a year, only grudgingly buying a new pair when they have totally worn out all the threads. However, the sales woman at the Footlocker where I got my Reeboks told me that my shoes were well worn long before the treads give out, and I should be buying a new pair of shoes about every 4 months. I think that maybe a little too often, especially given my collegiate budget, but I agree that if you wear a shoe everyday it "should" be replaced by 6 months.

I suggest Ben go get another pair and see if he is still slipping. The Target store where I got mine said they have a wonderful return policy, and that I could even wear my Crocs for 2 weeks, decide I don't like them and return them for a full exchange- talk about customer service!

But what has concerned me more than slippage, or the law of large numbers is the recent string of articles about kids getting caught in escalators and the weak/non-apparent response by the company. As more and more of these stories get out into the public I am concerned that more mothers will be shying away from Crocs and get other shoes for their children.

That could really hurt their numbers because children, especially young ones like my 2 1/2 year old, are always outgrowing shoes sometimes before my “6 month rule.” My son loves his Crocs because he can put them on and take them off with ease, while he has trouble with Velcro. If mothers become concerned about the safety aspects of Crocs, that could be an even bigger problem than sustaining their high growth rate and beating previous numbers.

Don't underestimate the power of one mother talking to another her child's safety. I would like to see the company do more to combat the growing public concern about escalator safety.
