Crocs vs. Skechers: It's War!

Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Legal Matters

crocsvsskechers.jpg

Women's Wear Daily reports that Crocs is suing Skechers for 'stealing' their designs and logos.

Meow!

Skechers responded to the allegations in a statement issued by their lawyer, saying, "We believe that this lawsuit is completely without merit and will vigorously defend ourselves against such baseless accusations."

Crocs are pictured to the left and one of the Skechers designs named in the lawsuit is pictured on right.

What do you think?

    I think they're both freakin' ugly…who gives a shit if they're comfortable? Consumers should boycott any sort of shoe that looks this this. Ew!

    crocs under any name are an ugly shoe and people should be stoned for wearing them… problem solved.

  22. hmmm says – reply to this
    22

    mmmm well they are both hideous. but the law suit is a bit ridiculous considering there are about 20 million croc knockoffs as it is… and they should all be burned anyways.

  23. Lupit says – reply to this

    Don't even care about their fight .

    theres fake rip offs of crocs left right and center, but yes sketchers obviously did copy crocs… no doubt

  25. 25

    I think that's funny. Airwalk makes the same ones also, and lot's of other generic companys. I think they are just going after Skechers because they have the money and other's dont.

  26. Sketc says – reply to this
    26

    I think CROCS are going to take Sketchers out to the shed behind the house and give them a good beat down.

  27. Waldi says – reply to this

    I have to say that I much prefer Waldies to either one of these.

    They both look disgusting. I have o idea why a sane person would wear those. D=

  34. Steph says – reply to this
    34

    Sketchers is not the first company to copy the crocs look. They should sue all the shoe companies

  35. BB says – reply to this
    35

    Designs are not copyrightable - you are totally allowed to copy ppl's designs. That is why we have Designer Imposter's perfume and knowck offs in Discount stores

  36. Terra says – reply to this
    36

    I don't care how comfortable crocs are, if you wear them, you look like a idiot. Unless you work in a hospital and wear issue white with your scrubs, or you diggin up dirt in your garden… then maybe you can get by with it.

  37. ANGEL says – reply to this

    WHO GIVES A SHIT? THEYRE BOTH UGLY.
    I WOULDNT SPEND A PENNY ON THAT SHIT.

  38. Tyni says – reply to this

    i think.. THEY BOTH UGLY … but BUT.. sketchers shouldnt be coping the style expecially without permission.. sue there asses!

  39. paula says – reply to this
    39

    well then they should sue The Gap and every other Chinese manufacturer east and west of the Mississippi. They just don't like successful competiton.

  40. 40

    Everyone makes this style. So sue all the Chinese cheap crap that they sell everywhere. Doubt you can patent a "style". Everyone was copying Birkenstocks but they didn't get their panties in a wad! Make a good shoe that doesn't fall apart or shrink in the sun and it will sell itself!

  41. WTF says – reply to this
    41

    YES THEY STOLE THE "CROCK" STYLE………THEY SHOULD PAY UP!

  42. Gina says – reply to this
    42

    I think they're also gonna have to sue Wal-Mart because I got my "Crocs" there for $7.

  43. tabit says – reply to this
    43

    they will have to sue walmart too because they have off brands that look like crocs.
    its not like sketchers completely uses the same logo and call them "alligators"
    lol
    But they are both ugly

  44. rache says – reply to this

    Total rip off!!!Sketchers' design looks like the first Crocs that were on the market 5 years ago.

  46. 46

    both of them are damn ugly, they should get burn in hell

  47. squir says – reply to this
    47

    They all look the same to me. If they are going to sue them they might as well sue airwalkers and all the rest that have made the rip off crocs cause like I said before they all look the same to me.

  48. jesus says – reply to this

  61. donna says – reply to this
    61

    I think you are all crazy for buying these ugly things. They are so ugly and look uncomfortable. One good thing is that they are waterproof.

  62. sara says – reply to this
    62

    Of course they're a knock off, but every brand has one these days. A waste of time and energy.

  63. Tiger says – reply to this

    ummmm, since when did skechers ever NOT rip off a shoe design. i remember they were all popular when i was in middle school. kinda like how forever 21 rips off all other designs for cheap!

  71. aj says – reply to this
    71

    it's pretty fucking obvious, no??

  72. Fran says – reply to this
    72

    I like the skechers. They are the most comfortable, and I can buy at a much lower price! Maybe they also need to sue WalMart and other company's that supply to the low income folks. I got my grandson's at WalMart after spending a fortune at another local shoe store. They look the same, yet WalMart's made a world of difference in price!

    Who gives a fuck. Fuck crocs and anything that wants to be like it. They are the ugliest piece of shits ever. The only people that wear crocs are fucking trashy and gross! DONT WEAR CROCS! THEY WILL GIVE YOU STDS!

  75. kc says – reply to this
    75

    Uhhhh yeah pretty sure a lot of companies 'stole' Crocs designs, Sketchers is just the only reputable brand. Who really cares though, they are the most unattractive thing i've ever seen worn in public….I must admit, they're comfortable thooughh

  76. Chris says – reply to this

    I think they are both ugly

    Re: mmm – Anybody tasteless enough to wear crocs, or their rip offs, should have their feet chopped off. You might as well be wearing slippers!

  78. rober says – reply to this
    78

    come on now it's the same freakin' shoe! Why sketchers would want to copy such a hideous design, I have no clue. They should be sued for just WANTING to copy the shoe…ICK!

  79. 79

    I think Skechers needs some new shoe designers. My office is right across from theirs in Manhattan Beach. They need to be more original. Go Crocs!
