Horseshoes for Humans

Ponyplay Iron-Clad Shoes

The clip-clop you hear may not be from a horse--Punitiveshoes' PonyPlay & More line of shoes and boots are made with quality leather and can be purchased with or without real iron horseshoes on the bottom.

The styles from left to right are the Rancho Pony Boot, the Ascot Pony Shoe and the Palio Pony Boot.  They look a bit uncomfortable to me, but this is coming from someone who still has problems maintaining balance in two-inch heels. 

Punitiveshoes' Royal Queen & More collection for drag queens are also presented: Queen Platform Boot, Prince Queen Boot, and King Queen Boot.  Geesh, talk about new heights!  It would be interesting to see how someone manages walking in them.
