Liquor Bottle Shoes? Yup!

A British company called Oliver Sweeney just created some high-quality men’s leather shoes that have a hidden compartment in the heel . . . that’s the perfect size for an airplane-sized bottle of liquor.

The shoes are specifically designed for you to smuggle Johnnie Walker . . . they even have “J.W.” embroidered on them . . . but it looks like you could fit any bottle back there.

As a bonus, we looked at some photos, and since the heels are big enough to fit the liquor bottles, it looks like you’ll also get a couple extra inches of height.

The shoes cost $489 . . . and Oliver Sweeney already sold out of their first run of them.  They should be available again soon.
