You've probably heard that you can tell a lot about a man by looking at his shoes. How about if he's wearing high heeled boots? Stuart Weitzman started making custom-designed high heels for garage band singer Justin Tranter of Semi-Precious Weapons; Weitzman has now released his gender-bending boots for sale. We'll call them the 'Moot' for short. Add this to the cross-gender manscara, guyliner and mantyhose.
Implications - Stuart Weitzman typically enjoys making heels for women and is adored by many celebrities. Justin Tranter says in a statement, "I love heels for two reasons: One, they make my amazing legs look even better and two, I love being able to make an artistic statement without even opening my mouth.â€
