It's either a peculiarly powerful fashion statement or a recipe for broken ankles -- or both.
In case you haven't heard, Gray Ant and Teva have partnered to develop a line of what product photos portray as hiking stilettos, which seller New High (M)art says marries "the Teva velcro-strap styling and grip-sole construction to a bold 4-inch stacked heel."
This unusual line of sport sandals is no joke, but it has become the butt of jokes, understandably, among those who have a hard time grasping the concept.
Quipped Conan O'Brien during his Tuesday night monologue: "They say the stilettos should make climbing Mt. Skankmore that much easier."
Not everybody is so cruel. The Daily Candy website stated: "They've been dubbed the most comfortable high-performance heels on the planet by their engineers -- and pretty damn good-looking by us."
Though stylish, they're also pricey, selling for $330 a pair and coming in two styles: Black-and-white with velcro closure, and tan with a buckle closure.
Smartly, New High (M)art posted this disclaimer on its website: "Not recommended for actual hiking, gardening, mountain climbing, or Phish concerts."
