High-heeled crocs are a thing now and people are actually wearing them

While Crocs are generally maligned for being the ugliest shoes to grace Planet Earth, luxury brand Balenciaga - worn by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Cardi B - recently put a spin on the rubber shoes by turning them into embellished platforms.

The shoes, which allegedly flew off the shelves, were later matched by Crocs. The brand released an iteration of the footwear which bizarrely came with socks, so wearers wouldn't have to worry about mismatched footwear accessories before hitting the town.

And now, we have Crocs' "Cyprus V Heel", and it's priced at $53.  It is described on the website as "a pair of casual and comfortable heels and wedges."

Let's take as closer look, shall we?

Here's Balenciaga's take...

What beauties, eh?
