High-heel Crocs shoes are selling out

Fashionistas, look away: Crocs -- the rubberized shoes that most self-respecting adults know should only be worn in the backyard -- are now available with high heels.

Weirdly, the fancy version of the ugly clogs are flying off the shelves, at nearly $50 a pop.

Crocs describes this 'Cyprus V Heel,' as "a pair of casual and comfortable heels and wedges."

The brand, known for comfort and function, became popular among hospital and restaurant workers and others toiling on their feet all day after its 2002 launch, with annual sales soaring past $100 million before a fall from favor and experiencing a mixed road business-wise ever since.

The introduction of the height-adding plastic wear is prompting a spirited conversation on social media, with one woman asking what to do when asked: "how we think they look with our bridesmaidss dresses?"
