I thought the ridiculousness of shoes stopped when heelys and crocs were invented, but this is a whole new genre of weird.

At first sight, they may look like regular heels, but take a closer look...you're bound to find that there's more to these unsuspected shoes.

What better way to start up a conversation than grabbing a bottle, and opening the top with your...shoe. What's next, a hat that also acts as a can opener?

For $39.99, you can purchase these stilettos provided by Hot Topic, the chain of stores known for turning innocent children into gothic, vampire-crazed teenagers. With an adjustable strap and a cute peeptoe design, these black patent heels, for better or worse, are sure to grab anybody's attention.
