Fashion house Alexander McQueen has launched boots for the 2024 fall-winter season that look just like horses' hooves.
A pair of this over-the-ankle equine heels will set you back R54,000 ($2,990).
And yes... people (celebs) are wearing them.
"If you want to be on point for this season, you need to buy boots that look just like horses hooves... no horses were harmed in the making of these boots but they were made of fabric that look like horse hair with a hoof in front of them... I don't know if this is a cosplay situation but it looks like you've got horse feet."
- Barbara Friedman, Barb's Wire
"It seems to be a thing, it's a fashion-forward moment to have various animal feet... to look like the Donkey in Shrek?"
- Barbara Friedman, Barb's Wire
