The High-heeled Crocs are now a thing

THIS is the world we live in now. If you thought ordinary Crocs were unfortunate, you haven’t seen these bad boys.






IT is a truth universally acknowledged that Crocs are a crime against fashion.
At least, that’s what we thought before they started popping up on designer runways all over the shop … and their latest incarnation is even more baffling than usual.
Yes it’s official. You can now get high heeled Crocs.
And let’s just say, the fashion rule book as we know it is dead.
Available in both sophisticated shades of grey and black, these 3 inch heels are one way to jazz up an outfit this summer and totally kill the style vibe.



Or you know, you could just opt for a normal pair of heeled sandals that aren’t made of rubber.
But what bothers us most about these heels, besides the obvious? They take away the ONE thing Crocs had going for them.
Their comfiness.
Not only are wearers donning rubber shoes, they’re wearing rubber shoes that are almost definitely going to hurt their feet.
This worrying style development follows the news 20 pairs of Crocs were sold on Amazon, Elilhaam every HOUR during the month of April.
Honestly, we still can’t get our heads around it.
