Crocs vs. Skechers: It's War!

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?

      they're both identical.

      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.

    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

      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.

    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…

    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!!

    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!

      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

      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!

      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

    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

      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.

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

      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.
