The $43,000 Shoe


The $43,000 "Dovima" shoe by Roger Viver is adorned with pink-dyed taxidermy birds perched delicately on each toe. Each Stuffed bird also has a crystal-encrusted head and it is further complemented by 24 ct gold mesh, silk ribbons and crocodile skin rosettes, plus every pair comes with special protective crocodile or snakeskin platforms that attach before you wear them to keep them from touching the ground until you wear them. There is a 3-month wait on each order. (Luxist) Wow, what a shoe....not to take anything away from this exquisite shoe, but if I had $43,000 just "lying" around, I could think of many, many things to do with it.
