Not only for crafters but for all classes the shoes sometimes are just yuk..you have your character all done up in really nice class gear and still have not got your shoes yet,so you go buy the right level from the market till it drops and poof your wearing something close to snow boots.....
This is coming in patch 2.2.

Q: Regarding the vanity slot, when will it be implemented and how much freedom will we have?
A: We are currently planning to implement this in patch 2.2 (the second major patch). While the feature is ready to go, we’re still discussing how we can establish the feature as content. As far as the freedom goes, as we stated during the previous live letter, black mages will not be able to equip heavy armor, etc.
