Yes.
I'm stooping this low.
But honestly, I promise some very interesting insights will be made.
The question came up today again, do women assess men by their shoes, and if so why?
I tried to think back to personal experience, and must say I've looked at shoes. I've felt uncomfortable by certain types of shoes. Namely, hiking boots when no hiking was involved, very pointy shoes (I think this goes for both sexes), those thin retro boxer shoes, turtle skin anything,sketchers and overly round caterpilleresque shoes. I must say I've felt uncomfortable around each and everyone of those types of shoes, I've obviously seen past it because I'm not as shallow as you all think I am. But on the whole the more familiar the shoe is to me, the less stressed I will feel when I happen to look below the knee-line.
Why did I do this? I've come up with several hypotheseseses. I consider myself to have insanely good taste in stuff. Having grown up around very high end stuff, having at the same time rolled around in the mud in said high end stuff, I know what is stylish and what is pure crap. This has absolutely nothing to do with price at the end of the day, it has to do with elegance, imagination, a child-like spirit, a level of romance and a kind heart. Yes all those things can go into dress. Now I'm not saying I'm a fashion guru of any sort and I wouldn't possibly be able to predict a next wave of fashion cool. All I know is what I like and what I don't like, and a lot of people have agreed with me in the past. Yes beauty is subjective, but I don't think utter crap is.
EITHER WAY, I think when you look at a guy's shoes and you sigh like phew I can relate to that, that fits in my world or even Whoa I've never felt comfortable with that before but I think I want to try hard to fit it into my world, THEN its a small clue maybe one nth of the gazillion other hormonal and evolutionary things that will tell you the man is a good potential mate.
Notably, my boyfriend has an awesome taste in shoes :)
Aaand that's why we will have millions of babies together.
No I'm not shallow.
Just accepting a little tip my evolutionary familiarity electro waves in my brain has given me.
