    Well I suppose those work. A bit to high heel for me. If they were platforms though...

    An appropriate use for Johnny Walker Red, I suppose. I notice that it comes with free ginger ale.

    It's a unique and creative idea, but I would be surprised if anyone actually wore these things. A shoe just doesn't seem like a very good place to store something you want to put in your mouth, ya know?

    Aside from the constant agitation of the liquid from walking (does it produce an audible sloshing sound with every step?), I'd also worry about breaking the bottle if I had to jump over a puddle or do some other sort of manoeuvre which required a 'hard landing' on my feet. And the bottlecap visibly protruding from the rear of the heel just seems strange. I don't see any indication that the rear of the heel ever gets closed up to cover the bottle, which means that the bottle is going to get covered in everything you walk in. Rainwater, mud, dust, carpet lint, etc. Surely the designer intended this as a clever gimmick or an upscale gag gift, not as a serious shoe?

    Other than the fact that the heel is a little taller than most people would find appropriate for men's footwear, it's not a bad looking brogue. But I'll keep my whisky in a traditional flask.

    A tippling stick is more practical, or a hip flask for your sporran.

    Just makes me think "James Bond". Not something I would buy, but I'm sure some one out there would.

    Wrong James, James West was the one with the hidden heel compartments ;)

    Not that anyone here needed it, but a whole new reason to kick up your heels.
