Jeff Lasher brushes that dirt right off:
It remains true that there is a subculture of Crocs haters, who are put off by the shoes’ colorful appearance and minimalist construction. For example, there’s a Facebook page called, “I don’t care how comfortable Crocs are you look like a dumbass.” It has two million “likes.” Offers Lasher, “Well, there are all kinds of different hater groups out there. But there is a lot of demand for casual comfortable shoes for boating, at the beach, in the snow, or on rainy days. If there are some detractors, then OK.”
Speaking at The Wall Street Journal’s annual CFO Network meeting in Washington D.C., Schapiro readily admitted that there isn’t a big push from either multinationals or shareholders to move to international financial reporting standards.
