'I can't unsee this!' Twitter mercilessly ridicules bizarre new $55 high-heeled CROCS - the latest in a very long line of 'fashionable' spins on the controversial foam clog
- The shoes, called the Cyprus V Heel, can be bought on Amazon between $80 and $224.39
- They can also be bought on the Crocs website for $55 although it appears that the shoes have already sold out on its site
- People have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the unique style
- One person wrote on Twitter: 'There are so many sad things going on in the world right now. We didn't need to add high heel Crocs to the list'
The fashion sphere has been flooded with a funky variety of Crocs over the past few years, and now the controversial clog brand is adding its own quirky update to the mix: a high-heeled version of its classic shoe that has left social media users in complete uproar.
Named the Cyprus V Heel, the shoes comes in black, platinum and 'wild orchid,' and can be bought on Amazon between $80 -$224.39; they are currently sold out on the Crocs website, but were previously listed for $55, according to Bored Panda.
Crocs already has different variations of its women's heels and wedges that it promises are 'casual and comfortable', this latest heeled design appears to have struck quite the chord with social media users, perhaps thanks to their rather bizarre aesthetic which is a mix between a chunky pool shoe and a typical high-heeled sandal.
Not cheap: Crocs has a high-heeled version of its shoe, which can be bought on Amazon between $80 and $224.39
Variety: The shoes come in black, platinum and 'wild orchid,' and have already sold out on the Crocs website
Stylish: If you're thinking of buying the shoe, in addition to casualness, Crocs said that shoppers would be able to 'get all the fashion without sacrificing the comfort'
But if you're thinking of buying the heeled shoes, in addition to casualness, Crocs assures shoppers that the design will afford them the chance to 'get all the fashion without sacrificing the comfort,' according to its website.
The shoes can also, according to Crocs, be 'dressed up or down'.
However, despite the brands positive claims about the new release, people online aren't wholly convinced by the new heeled Crocs, and quickly took to social media to share their doubts about the footwear - while also taking the chance to mock the brand at the same time.
One person wrote on Twitter: 'There are so many sad things going on in the world right now. We didn't need to add high heel Crocs to the list.'
Another tweet said: 'Just in case anyone wants to look ridiculous, they make high heel Crocs now, you're welcome.'

This isn't the first time the Colorado-based shoe company has released a rather unique style shoe because just last October, Balenciaga debuted platform Crocs during Paris Fashion Week.
And despite the shoe's outlandish appearance, once the $850 footwear was made available for pre-sale on the Barney's website in early February, they sold out in a matter of hours.
And more recently, New York-based streetwear brand, Alife, collaborated with the shoe company to produce a line of Crocs that feature three different styles.
One of which includes a built-in tube sock, called the Sport Croc, and another called the Art Croc that features 3D printed Jibbitz in the shape of New York landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.

Big hit: Platform Crocs for Balenciaga sold out on the Barney's website in early February
Inexpensive: A regular pair of Crocs typically costs $37.99 on the Crocs website
Both the Sport and Art Croc can be bought on the Alife website and in-store at Alife Rivington Club in New York for $140 and $600.
According to Alife founder Rob Cristofaro, the Sport Croc pays homage to socks and sandals style frequently seen throughout New York neighborhoods.
He told High Snobiety : 'This style was born from part fashion trend, part hood reality, and the want of touching upon my youth.'
'The tube sock was a staple for me while growing up in New York in the 1970s. In the boroughs of New York, you would see kids rocking socks with the adidas slides. The concept was really to take something as next-level as a Croc, and mix it with these elements.'
