Crocs sparked a minor panic among fans of its colorful plastic clogs by announcing on Wednesday that the company is closing the last of its manufacturing facilities. But mule-lovers can rest easy -- the footwear maker isn't going of business. 

Fashionistas, look away: Crocs -- the rubberized shoes that most self-respecting adults know should only be worn in the backyard -- are now available with high heels.

Your Independence Day is likely to include backyard barbecues and time with loved ones. But between the burgers and the fireworks, you can also shop one of summer's biggest sale events.
