We love a trend that we can easily replicate with items we
already own - but not when those items are usually kept in our
fridge.
As such, we're not sure the trend of making a pair of high heels
out of a stale cheese sandwich is going to catch on.
Fashion student Lisa Dillon from Bath Spa University designed
and made a pair 'Jimmy Cheese' shoes using bread and West Country
cheddar.
Stinky shoes: Zoe Bolton models the Jimmy
Cheese high heels made from a stale cheddar sandwich
The shoes aim, not entirely successfully, to prove that stinky
feet and high fashion make a tasty combination.
The budding fashionista sculpted ablock of cheddar to make the
heel, and a stale cheese sandwich was used for part of the platform
sole.
The front of the shoe was moulded from more cheddar and extra
cheese was melted and shaped to embellish the design.
Dillon's cheesey footwear is part of a range by students from
Bath Spa University.

Pilgrims Choice Cheddar commissioned the range using their own
cheese to launch a national 'cheese couture; competition.
Spokeswoman Hannah Jenkins said: 'Our sponsorship of the
National Cheese Awards has become the high point of the year for
consumers and visitors to the Show who love cheese.

'We had an incredible response from the public last year to our
Cheese Sculpture Awards Class, where we show-cased the World's
largest cheese sculpture ever recognised.
'This year, we are set to go one step further and I can promise
visitors they won't be disappointed!
The shoes can be seen at The Royal Bath and West Show from 1 to
4 June at the Bath & West Showground at Shepton Mallet in
Somerset.
