Yesterday’s fad is tomorrow’s Garage Sale staple


The Croc fad is apparently over.

The colourfully hued, resin composite shoes full of holes and popular with those that don’t like to tie their footwear have seen a rather sharp slump in sales.

In fact, investors are so sure of the end of the Croc craze that they’ve heard the footsteps of a downhill stock and dropped the value of the Croc stock by 40 per cent.

So bad in fact, that combined with a high Canadian dollar, the Quebec City area plant which manufactures them is about to shut its production line of the shoes.

So just as the garage sale season gets set to hit the high season, your chance to pick up the once trendy little things may never be better.
