These playable Guitar Shoes by Chicks on Speed and Max Kibardin, in conjunction with Hangar.org, were created as part of an exhibition at Dundee Contemporary Arts (dca.org.uk), and will have you striking a chord while you walk. Combining [music and fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-and-marc-jacobs) in a unique and definitely interesting way, these rockin' pumps would have everyone at your feet on a night out in town.

Although the heel may be too high for some to comfortably walk around in, it wouldn't be the first time comfort is given up for the sake of style. And for these Guitar Shoes, it'd be totally worth the pain!
