The taxidermied rats are perched on a rat-cage resembling a pair of heels.

Forget boring pumps and predictable platforms. Rat-cage heels are the hottest new shoe trend. Think sky-high stilettos with a whimsical twist – a miniature rat cage perched on the heel. A bold statement perfect for those who dare to ditch the ordinary.
