Hoofing It

April 16, 2009  12:08 pm

Fashion has long had a love affair with the horsey set. Now, it appears, designers are cutting out the middleman and going straight for the horse. A.F. Vandevorst kicked off a trendlet at its show in March, putting a Clydesdale sole on boots and shoes, and Opening Ceremony has followed suit with a hoof-inspired clog for fall. “We had this image in our heads of herds of running animals,” explains Opening Ceremony’s Humberto Leon. “That’s something we’ve always loved, as an image, and that’s how we came up with the idea of these hooflike shoes.” Oversize in front, with a dainty heel at the back, the clog comes in a zipper-detailed slingback style that strikes an urbane compromise with its beast-of-burden silhouette. For the full feral effect, however, Leon implores skeptics to give the suede version a chance. “I think it’s one of those shoes that look really awkward at first, but once you put it on your foot and take another look, the silhouette grows on you,” he says. “We feel like this is something really special.” What do you say? Yea or neigh?

  1. I would rather see her in a mini skirt and wearing these hoofing shoes/boots showing the long legs…….

  2. I could see it work. Having long legs would be a bonus though!
    I think the contrast between the oversized front and the delicate slim heel pull off the design.

  6. A horse itself would be ashamed of this horrible shoe for humans. Horses of the world unite…and sue!
