Yes, indeed they’re real horse and goat hooves! German artist Iris Schieferstein specialises in creating very flamboyant boots and shoes made from a combination of deceased animal parts and other materials.

I like to flaunt ridiculous outfits. But this is a little too ridiculous for my taste. To each their own. Cheers!

That is sick. and discusting considering horses were harmed and killed during the making 0f these and who would want to were something that was once alive, I own horses and could never even think of something like this. horses are as real as me and you they have there own minds and can cumunicate with eachother just like me and you. it is just like having shoes that were made from a persons actual foot. WOULD YOU WERE SHOES THAT WERE MADE FROM A HUMANS FOOT? Im pretty sure u would not were them and if you would u are as SICK and DISCUSTING as these boots are.that is just not right nd it is not humane.

firstly the article says ‘deceased’ so technically its the same as wearing leather shoes. And its quirky, kitschy and quite an innovative way of portraying death. Face it, if you can’t appreciate it dont hate. And secondly, nobody ‘weres’ shoes they ‘wear’ them.

“Quirky, Kitschy, and quite innovative?” Nope, just ridiculous. Extremely distasteful, and twice as as offensive as the Neeraj the spelling police. The maker and the poster should both be ashamed.
