Since the company’s now-iconic shoes hit the footwear scene in 2002, Crocs, Inc. has experienced an array of business challenges. The company was on the brink of bankruptcy for much of the mid-2010s but began a resurgence in 2015. It now sells 150 million pairs of shoes annually, which translates to nearly $4 billion in revenue. But it’s not all smooth sailing from here. Crocs is facing a massive class action lawsuit that could dictate the future of the company.

The Crocs class action lawsuit started with consumers alleging that the products are “basically water shoes” and not suitable for their intended purpose, claiming that they can shrink several sizes in ordinary heat.

When you think of Crocs, you probably envision comfortable, versatile shoes that are perfect for almost any casual activity. The recent claims about false advertising and shrinkage in direct sunlight raise some serious concerns about the durability of the popular footwear line.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Crocs class action lawsuit, including the plaintiffs’ arguments, how the district court ruled on the amended complaint, and how you may be able to join the claim.
