Featuring perfectly¹ replicated² seams, soles and shoelaces, as well as impressively realistic finish, these life-size chocolate shoes seem made of genuine brown leather. 

 

缝合线、鞋底、鞋带都高度仿照实物，并经过精心打磨，这些实物大小的巧克力鞋子就像是真正的棕色皮鞋。
 

 

The "Gentleman's Radiance" chocolate line is the creation of master chocolatier Motohiro Okai of Rihga Royal Hotel's chocolate boutique L'éclat, in Osaka, Japan. Each leather show measures 26 centimeters (10.2 inches) in length, and is crafted exclusively from chocolate, including the insole and laces. The shoes come in three different shades of brown leather - light, dark and red-brown - and have a realistic shiny finish which Okai achieved after a painstaking³ process of trial and error.

 

Each pair of life-size chocolate shoes comes bundled with shoe care accessories, including a shiny shoehorn made from chocolate and a jar of "shoe cream" that actually contains round disks of tempered chocolate. 

 

The workmanship and attention to detail that went into creating the Gentleman's Radiance chocolate shoes is best reflected by the obscene price tag of a pair - 29,160 yen⁴ (US$258.45). Only nine pairs will be made available for purchase, and only by reservation.
