Advisors' Opinion:- [By Suravi Thacker]
People's tastes and preferences keep changing with the changing times. So was the case with the footwear industry, when Crocs' (CROX) fancy and new style shoes took over the market. Customers became highly fascinated with the new style of resin-molded shoes which ! came in a variety of bright colors. It became a fashion statement. However, a few years later, this fascination started to fade away as customers got bored of the same old style. Crocs' footwear became tacky for the same lot of customers. This resulted in sharp decline in the retailers' revenue.
