According to the dictionary, a 'hoofer' is "a professional dancer, especially a tap dancer". That being the case, are these shoes just what hoofers have been waiting for?
The BBC reports:
A carbon-fibre hoof and up to 5,000 individual horse hairs make up the £1,300 shoes which were created by a team of fashion designers.
The knee-length and ankle-length shoes were commissioned to celebrate 100 years of the famous National Hunt festival, which begins on Tuesday.

Apparently three pairs were made, each expected to fetch over US $2,000. At those prices, they'd better come with free horseshoes for life - or, as my friend Dave commented, with the horse still attached!

The perfect shoes for a horse's ass.
