Okay, the stock market’s in a tailspin, and the money you sunk into your retirement account might as well have been sent to the Nigerian Petroleum Ministry. Still, all is not completely dark. Soon, Crocs will be a thing of the past. A year ago, stock for the makers of ugly-ass footwear was trading at $75 a share. Since then, it’s lost a bit of value—a little over $74 of value, to be precise. Investment analyst Alyce Lomax doesn’t think much of the company’s long-term prospects:

Even shoes that go through fad phases will win over some lifelong fans, if not the masses, while the styles are hot. So, yeah, a few pairs of Crocs may still be around in five years — but the crazy double- and triple-digit percentage growth that attracted investors to the company in the first place is a thing of the past.

So it looks like fans of comfy but hideous shoes will have to say goodbye to Crocs and go back to their Ugg boots. Meanwhile, investors would be well advised to get out of shoes entirely and invest in hatmakers. Everyone knows that in a full-blown depression, all the men wear hats.
