Horse hoof shoes: Would you EVER?

You know how hunters like hanging stuffed animals on their walls?  Now, imagine that stuffed animal dangling on your feet.

German designer Iris Schieferstein has made a fashion revolution with his latest creation of “fashion taxidermy”. She designed shoes made out of horses’ hooves, as well as stuffed animals like doves and snakes.

First off, you need close to half million rand in your pocket to purchase them . Plus, they don’t look all that comfortable.  But what’s even more interesting is the way these shoes are made.

In an interview with Dailymail, Schieferstein says, "I love horses and I love shoes so I thought this would be perfect. Horses have a beautiful walk and I wanted to recreate that with my footwear."

Well, I also love horses – but I just don’t want to wear them on my feet.

Would you buy horse hoof shoes?
