Crocs might just be the indestructible cockroaches¹ of the fashion industry.

Crocs洞洞鞋可能是时尚界打不倒的小强。

They’ve been relentlessly² mocked, teased, turned into memes, and nevertheless, they persisted.

他们被无情地嘲笑、戏弄、变成表情包，然而他们依然坚挺到现在。

Now, the latest incarnation of the controversial sandals comes in high heel form - and they're just as aesthetically³ displeasing⁴ as you’d expect.

现在，这款备受争议的凉鞋的最新版本是高跟鞋的形式——正如你所期待那样，审美上就很不愉快。

While the original Croc vindicates⁵ its questionable⁶ appearance by marketing⁷ itself as a comfort shoe, complete with arch support and a water-friendly design, its fashion-forward counterpart is lacking in such justification⁸, given that heels are notoriously uncomfortable, squishy soles or not.

虽然最初的Croc通过营销自己的舒适性，足弓支撑和亲水设计来证明这种可疑外观的正确性，但是它的时尚前卫款却缺乏这样的理由，因为高跟鞋是出了名的不舒服，鞋底还会咯吱作响。

However, in an admirable display of perseverance⁹, the shoe brand insists that its new high heel variations will provide all-day cushion and comfort.

然而，这个鞋牌坚持不懈地展示，它的新款高跟鞋会提供全天的缓冲和舒适。

At least they aren't trying to convince anyone they're the next Manolos - but, are they?

至少他们不会试图让任何人相信他们是下一个Manolos，但是，他们到底是？

Balenciaga released its own shoe made in collaboration¹⁰ with Crocs in October 2017, which are set on an “exaggerated foam¹¹ platform” which will have you tottering¹² at five inches above your normal height.

巴黎世家在2017年10月推出了和Crocs的合作款鞋子，这款鞋设置在一个“夸张的泡沫平台”上，它让你在离正常高度5英寸的地方就开始摇摇晃晃。

The rubber sandals have an added designer flair¹³, as they are adorned¹⁴ with playful charms and Balenciaga logo pins.

这款橡胶凉鞋有额外的设计师特色，因为它们装饰着玩味十足的魅力和巴黎世家的标志性别针。

They remain hugely popular, selling out before they'd even been released in pre-sales on Barney's website.

它们仍广受欢迎，甚至在Barney网站预售之前就已经售空。

They are now available on Net-a-porter for a humble¹⁵ price of ￡645.

它们现在可以在Net-a-porter上买到，售价“低至”645英镑。

If that's a little too steep for you to achieve your Croc-induced dreams, you might be better off opting¹⁶ for the high heel option released by the brand itself, which costs just ￡40 on Amazon.

如果要实现洞洞鞋诱导的梦想对你来说有点小贵，你最好选择品牌自身推出的亚马逊上售价只40英镑的高跟鞋。
