Horn-Heeled Pumps

Exotic Regrets by Aoi Kotsuhiroi Features Dark Fang-Like Footwear

These forbidding 'Feet Objects' have been born of a true artist as part of a collection called Exotic Regrets by Aoi Kotsuhiroi. At a staggering 7.7 inches tall, these perilous pumps have a life of their own.

Crafted of urushi lacquered horns for heels and lacquered cherry tree wood, these fang-like foot bindings anchor the wearer in with leather laces and skin-tight lambskin thigh-highs. I would love to know how these shoes from Exotic Regrets by Aoi Kotsuhiroi feel on, yet the complete picture offers an exquisite-looking sculpture.
