Anyone want these human skin style boots for £5,000?
Canadian fashion label Matieres Fecales is known for its edgy, alien-inspired looks.
The brand has given the world alien sex dolls, a very realistic cat woman,and a naked man suit (including a blurred out penis), among a bunch of other daring and otherworldly creations.
The two-person group, made up of Hannah Rose Dalton and her partner Steven Raj Bhaskaran, has been working on a pair of boots that look like feet (with toes and all) which seem to be made out of human skin (thankfully, they are not).
In their signature body modification style, the creators have added in a protruding heel out of the sole of the shoe as well as devilish horns on the back of the legs.

The thigh-high boots blend into the wearers skin making them look like their actual feet. The front of the feet are supported by a small clear plastic.
So walking in these shoes will be no easy feat, as proved by the model showing them off on the Matieres Fecales Instagram page.
After releasing a photoshopped version of the shoes earlier in the year, Matieres Fecales (French for fecal matter) decided to turn the shoes into the real thing.
The creators are putting a hefty price tag on the skin-style shoes – the boots are set to sell for £5,931.
We can get this alien look and present it and tweak it with Photoshop and make it look really realistic, the creators told Vogue.
But at the same time, there is always this dysphoria in us. There is this urge inside of us to take what we do on the Internet and try to create that via real life. That is what we are doing with the shoes.
They did four trials before choosing on a version made out of silicone that was shaped and moulded to match Hannahs leg, complete with little hairs.
It is like creating a custom art piece that is wearable, said Hannah.
Matieres Fecales isnt the first brand to venture into futuristic fashion via body modification.

While his looks were part of his A.Human exhibition, Matieres Fecales will be putting up their products on sale at some point in the future.
