Only if you're a horse, of course. I don't think I have anything in my closet that would work with horse-shoes.

Can't find the image, but the ones I was thinking of had really high soles in the front but no actual heels. She would have been basically walking on tip toe with nothing under the heel for support.

As an art project, and as social commentary, I find them fascinating. As actual shoes... no freaking way, and that's coming from a woman who will happily destroy her knees for a pair of 4.5" Louboutins. Or a pair of 6" New Rock boots.
