£1,300 ‘hoof shoes’ unveiled for Cheltenham Festival

[HarveyDarkey]

These bizarre designer shoes go on sale at the Cheltenham Festival tomorrow – in the style of horses’ HOOVES.

The zip-up boots feature an imitation carbon fibre hoof with up to 5,000 individual horse hairs stitched into a knee or ankle length design.

But only punters whose horses come in on the track will be able to afford them – as they come with a £1,300 price tag.

The ‘Horseshoes for Humans’ were created by bookies Betfair with all proceeds going to charity.

8. As ugly as I think those are, I would never say so to someone wearing them

The kicking and stomping potential there is off the charts... :scared:
