Stiletto Crocs Are Now a Thing, So Excuse Me While I Vom

Please spare me.

If you’re on the hunt for your daily dose of nightmare fuel, we’ve got your back with this one.

Unfortunately for the world, Crocs and Balenciaga have collabed to release the king of all questionable shoes—the stiletto Croc.

This latest range is literally what you would expect: a basic ugly Croc on a massive heel.

Before we get into all the grotty details, I’d like to make it clear that although Crocs have skyrocketed back into popularity, I am definitely not a fan. I couldn’t get further away from these blister-inducing sandals any faster.

I feel like every Croc wearer around the world can agree that Crocs are supposed to be worn as a convenience shoe. They’re easy to slip on and off when taking out the bins or heading out to your garden (some people may even find them comfy).

But who on earth decided that Crocs were allowed to try and be fashionable?

These wild new shoes are being released as a part of Balenciaga’s new Spring 2022 collection and features two adaptations of the Croc. This includes the stiletto Croc and the rainboot Croc.

Considering some of the weird and wacky stuff high fashion brands put out into the world, I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that this could be a joke, but it’s not.

In fact, since the start of the pandemic, Crocs have actually started flying off the shelves all over again. According to Retail Insight Network, Crocs sold more than 69 million pairs of shoes in 2020, with revenue reaching $1.4bn, over 13 per cent more than 2019.

This is also probably due to their sneaky promos from Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj.

I’m just waiting for YouTube star Safiya Nygaard to take one for the team and review these bad bois. She’s already reviewed platform Crocs, so why not this?
