Someone send this guy's link to P.E.T.A. it will blow their mind.

BTW, wouldn't bovine hooves be more appropriate for the cows that would wear this stuff?

Have you ever owned a really nice pair of crafted leather shoes? I have. The comfort beats the fit of any off the shelf modern shoe which are made predominately of petroleum products anyway. I see this as an effort at recycling.

Expat, I'd bet that using bovine feet for a shoe would be like Steve Martin's "Cruel Shoes" brought to life.

Those are very ugly. I can't imagine anyone would want or wear them.

Maybe they can make some real bunny slippers for Fluffy Bunny Slippers ?

If you need your hoof shoes resoled, do you go to the cobbler or the farrier?

KDP, I've owned custom made shoes. Boots from Barcelona. And I've paid top dollar for my foot wear for decades. You just CAN NOT take enough care of your feet!

Lo and behold!

I imagine this is a godsend for any roleplays involving monotaurs or furries or fauns or whatever

@Richard Bos ... most of the major "pron" companies have left CA because of the new mandatory condom law when making movies. I know when watching such me and also the Mrs don't want to be reminded of safe sex and why it's needed.

EWWW! Expat that is disgusting!
