American moonshiners were in desperate need of avoiding cops during the Prohibition era (1920-1933), and thus, these heifer-heels were born. They’d use these puppies to look like cows when traipsing through fields or across other terrain that might leave footprints for the authorities to track.

These shoes bring a whole new perspective to “hoofin’ it.”

They printed them in French for use in Québec and English for the rest of the country. In 1937 they would print both French and English on the same banknotes.
