Socks with high heels

I've been seeing a lot of socks with high heels lately in the fashion magazines and even this ad above for Target has this sartorial style featured. What's your opinion on this? Fashion forward or faux pas? Personally I love the the comfort of socks with heels, but it's seriously hard to pull off the look if your over 25 in my opinion. Not that the age limit stops me from wearing many things I probably shouldn't ...
