Hoof Shoes

Chunky, sculpted hooves sit where stiletto heels used to be — surprisingly walkable and completely eye-catching, with hand-painted fur texture creeping up from the ankle. Alicia Mermaid sculpts the hoof shape in non-drying clay, molds it in silicone with a vacuum-degassed pour, then casts copies in resin right onto the modified shoes. A wild build that combines moldmaking, resin casting, and painting into one seriously fun wearable.
