Bat Boots

By Alex in Fashion on Jul 13, 2007 at 2:45 am


Dutch-born artist and shoemaker Eelko Moorer created "bat boots" that let subway traveller hang upside down!

A shoemaker has created bat-style boots that allow travellers to hang upside down on the London Underground.

Dutch-born Eelko Moorer’s footwear can latch on to hand strap rails inside Tube trains.

Mr Moorer, from east London, got his girlfriend Alice Wolff to try the boots out.

"We had a somewhat mixed reaction from other Tube travellers," he said. "Some people were surprised, others liked it and others were appalled."

    There was an exercise fad years ago that featured hanging upside down by a pair of boots with hooks on the front. Killer sit-ups. I tried it; didn't suit me at all.

    I suppose it would make it easier for the pickpockets....

    As long as I don't have to sit in the seat with their butt in my face then I could care less.
