Booze-Inspired Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dalmore and Lutwyche Team Up to Create Whiskey-Inspired Shoes

— October 14, 2011 — Fashion
Made with the whiskey connoisseur in mind, these opulent, whiskey-inspired shoes are the result of celebrated luxury libation company Dalmore combining forces with the renowned British tailor Lutwyche. Using a combination of innovative technology and age-old techniques, the decadent treads are crafted using sustainable deer skin and are detailed with Dalmore's signature symbol of a Stag head on the soft interior.

The softness of the leather causes the the shoe to mold to the wearer's foot after frequent wear. These shoes will become like a second skin to the lucky few who can afford such an extravagant fashion forward purchase. Costing a whopping $862, the shoes reward their purchaser with a complimentary bottle of Dalmore's King Alexander III whiskey, which usually retails for $235.

These whiskey-inspired shoes are sure to have whisky fiends lined up around the block fumbling for their stylish, strained money clips.
