Do you have an uncontrollable urge for your feet to look like Cousin It from The Addam’s Family, or Donald Trump’s toupee, but don’t know how?
At last - Gucci have come to the rescue with a pair of slippers made out of long, golden hair.
They first debuted on the runway at Milan Fashion Week - yes they are legit - and cost £1,230. You know, the amount we would usually spend on a pair of hairy shoes.
The shoes are made of goats’ hair, and are described on Net-a-Porter as “finished with the label’s signature gold horsebit, nestled in the floor-sweeping honey-colored strands that also line the shoe”.

The shopping website also says that the pair go best with “floaty skirts and dresses” or jeans.
But here’s the real clincher - they’ve sold out. Genuinely. And people on Twitter are just as confused as us.
One said: “How are y'all gonna charge $1800 for Trump’s toupee?”
While another wrote: “GUCCI WHAT YOU DOIN.”

One thing that Net-a-Porter’s description of the shoe has got right is that the pair are certainly “one of the most talked-about designs from Alessandro Michele’s debut runway collection”.
But are they being talked about in the right way?
