It may not be enough to make the company a big winner, but CROX has diversified into quite a bit of other footwear that doesn't look like the "neon-colored plastic gardening shoes." And as somebody mentioned, they are also trying to sell clothes, but since they are having a big sale on their website, I don't think that's going so well.

Certainly the Crocs fad is what propelled the stock, so it's not going to rocket upward anytime soon. But I don't think it's a GTZ.

Crocs Banned From Austrian Hospitals
August 13, 2008 — Trendy Crocs sandals have been banned from Austrian hospitals by health chiefs over fears they might cause heart attacks or damage life-support machines.

Health Authority safety officers in Austria have warned that the distinctive plastic shoes can generate massive amounts of static electricty.

The electricity can discharge itself directly into patients or short-circuit vital medical equipment, says the warning from the Viennese Hospital Authority.
Static discharge could wipe out the memory and data-processing functions of life-saving equipment, rendering it useless.

The city's biggest hospital—SMZ Ost, which has 2,800 employees—has already banned the shoes from operating theatres and the casualty department.

Viennese Hospital Authority safety spokesman Peter Woelfl said Crocs would stay banned until they could be made anti-static.
