These High-End $275 Horse Shoes Are Perfect for Halloween

Halloween is only a few weeks away, so quit horsing around and figure out your costume! Or you can continue horsing around and just dress up as a horse.
No, we are not suggesting you get one of those massive equine suits and grab a friend to split the head and butt with.
There is an Etsy designer out there who makes it her mission to create extremely lifelike horse hoof shoes, and a video of them is delighting and confusing the Internet. The video, created by designer Chaos Costumes and shared by Horse Kingdom on Facebook, has received 19 million views and counting and features a woman stomping her hooves and pawing the ground, proving that these shoes are walkable and realistic. (You can watch the video here.)
The $180 shoe is made of high-strength resin fused to a heelless four-inch shoe. The arch is rigid plastic and does not bend, so these high heels keep you on your toes — literally.
The woman in the video is wearing a pair with a separate accessory: detachable fur hoof covers, which cost $95. We’d consider wearing those fluffy things over any shoe, to be honest.
You can order the hooves and fur in any colors you want, if black and white is a little too basic for you.
While the shoes look seriously uncomfortable, like they are designed for some themed fashion show (Betsy Johnson or Chanel, please report to the stable to claim your next fashion week theme), the designer, Blair Ondria, promises they are “as ‘comfortable’ as most high heels and do not affect your calf muscles all that much.” Ondria says she can even run in them, they are that stable.
The response has people both excited and stunned. One follower wrote:
Another user noted that she puts her mini horse in sneakers, so this is “only fair.”

But Margaret Havran wants to use them as a torture device:
Another follower described her experience with the shoe:
Well, we think we found our Halloween costume.
