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.

    no one over the age of 5 should EVER wear this fucking ugly things….sketchers is past their prime if they're ripping off crocs. wtf @ both of them!

  16. Lace says – reply to this


    16

    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


    23

    Both are terribly ugly !
    Don't even care about their fight .

  24. Greg says – reply to this


    24

    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


    27

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

    Who care's they're both hideous!

  32. Mark says – reply to this


    32

    first!

  33. noko says – reply to this


    33

    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


    37

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

  38. Tyni says – reply to this


    38

    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


    44

    they're both hideous

  45. Marie says – reply to this


    45

    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


    48

    i think both versions are fuck ugly, and a waste of…whatever the hell they're made of.

  49. kathy says – reply to this


    49

    who cares??!! they're both ugly!

  50. andy says – reply to this


    50

    they should both be sued for inflicting such hideousness on the public!

  51. Kim says – reply to this


    51

    who cares? they're both terribly ugly,anyone shouldn't be wearing this….this is such a lame lawsuit……anyone wearing this type of shoe ought to be ashamed of themselves…

  52. alex says – reply to this

  53. kal says – reply to this

  55. Jess says – reply to this


    55

  56. BLAM says – reply to this

  58. 58

  59. carla says – reply to this


    59

    I would not wear either..or any other brand that resembles them!

  60. olivi says – reply to this


    60

    they are both ugly and it is a rip off but cant we just let the consumers decide…who has sold more should win!

  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


    63

    I think they are both as ugly as fuck & if you wear them you are lame!!

  64. me says – reply to this


    64

    crocs wins.

  65. Rocks says – reply to this


    65

    I point and laugh at whomever wears them anyways. Crocs were made for gardening. If you are not gardening, don't wear them

  69. Amand says – reply to this


    69

    Why do people wear these?

  70. buttf says – reply to this


    70

    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!

  73. Shaza says – reply to this


    73

    HELP PLEASE!!! It's driving me CRAZY. What the hell is Perez meaning when he types "bbs". Thanks for the help.

  74. Danny says – reply to this


    74

    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


    76

    I think they are both ugly

  77. SC says – reply to this


    77

    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!

  80. Jolor says – reply to this


    80

    Who currs. They're bothing f*cking ugly anyways lolz

  81. kathl says – reply to this


    81

  84. Marym says – reply to this


    84

    Crocs sues everyone who makes a ripoff shoe. And they lose.

  85. britt says – reply to this


    85

    i think their both fugly



  86. 86

    Even though skechers did rip off the crocs look…. everyone does that. It doesn't make any sense for them to sue them. Just because they made something so weird and ugly that no one ever thought of… they think they're special. /whatever

  87. ally says – reply to this


    87

    EVERYBODY DOES IT, MONEY MONEY MONEY GIVE ME MORE

  90. spike says – reply to this


    90

    Skechers rule, bitch!!!!!

  91. Becca says – reply to this


    91

    I think that Crocs are extremely ugly and I have no idea why anyone would wear or buy them.. also Sketchers shouldn't have copied Crocs because it is a really ugly shoe and nobody will want a rip off even if they did like Crocs..

  92. LB says – reply to this


    92

    They're both ugly as shit and I should sue both companies for the pain and suffering I go through whenever someone walks by wearing them.

  93. Mari says – reply to this


    93

    Why is anyone suprised, Skechers ALWAYS still other brands designs….

  94. flori says – reply to this


    94

    both should be illegal, they're both hidious!

  95. kayla says – reply to this


    95

    Why pick on Sketchers?? There are so many knock offs of the Crocs who can keep count. I bought $5 ones at Payless. Walmart and Target has some cheap-o ones too.

  96. j-b says – reply to this


    96

    Heidi Montag wears crocs……….so they are obviously a poor choice.

  97. eloci says – reply to this


    97

    I think they're both exactly the same amount of fug-ugly

  98. Jeff says – reply to this


    98

    I think those things are the most BUTT FUCKIN' UGLY things I've ever laid eyes on. Who the FUCK would wear such monstrous-looking fashion disasters?? I think I'm going to be sick, I can't talk about this anymore

  99. Mille says – reply to this


    99

    Its the same shoe. Maybe if sketchers took the time to relize their marketing manager was too lazying to think of something new… they wouldnt be in this mess.

    Crocks should win this Suit

  100. Colie says – reply to this


    100

    If they are so concerned about Skechers being a rip off then they have a lot coming for them.. they might as well sue Walmart, Target, Happy Harry's, beach shops, and pretty much every other store that sells the knockoffs that look more like Crocs than Skechers do. P.S.- I don't care if they are "comfortable" I wouldn't be caught dead in bed with a Tranny before I wore those.
