Hairy Sand Shoes

The Opening Ceremony M1 Desert Boot Pony is Made With Pony Hair

Opening Ceremony is putting a new spin on one of their most popular shoes for the upcoming season. The M1 Desert Boot Pony adds pony fur to the popular M1 Desert Boot design. This is sure to be one soft shoe.

The M1 Desert Boot Pony is covered in two different tones of pony hair from heel to toe. This boot is certain to keep you warm during those harsh winter months, of which I know nothing about living in southern California. If you do have to brave the elements in the coming months, I suggest you do it with these boots on your feet.

Furry Footwear
