Drew Carey playing footsie with Gwen Stefani and Matthew Perry? Not exactly, but they are all devotees of designer George Esquivel's custom footwear. The 30-year-old Anaheim, Calif.-based ex-truck driver switched to podiatric fashion five years ago (early pairs featured Beatles-inspired pointy-toes). Now celebs like Seth Green snap up his high-end Esquivel line (from $350 for leather to $2,000 for alligator), his mid-priced Joe's Garb, and a soon-to-be-launched women's brand, all available on his websites (www.esquivelshoes.com and www.joesgarbshoes.com). Esquivel says he draws inspiration from ''American rock & roll and American movies'' in fact, that's an Esquivel shoe Pamela Anderson spits out in Lit's ''Miserable'' video and designs for ''the cool guy who doesn't look like a model.'' Well, almost. Earlier this year, Esquivels shod the handsome feet on the runway at Richard Tyler's men's fashion show.
