Pick A Guy Like You Pick Your Shoes
I’m a shoe person. I’m a stilleto-addict. Really, I am. But my point is there’s something about girls (or even guys, perhaps?), who are particular about shoes, when it comes to choosing the kind of guys (or girls) they go out with. Have you noticed that?
As a shoe person, I have the tendency to check out the shoes that people wear when I’m out. I believe that you can tell something about that individual with the kind of (and state of the) shoe on their feet. With that said, I reckon it can be used to analyze how they choose the kind of guy they date or end up with.
Shoe-shoppers vary. Some can actually zone in to a pair, just ask for their size then head straight to the cashier. Others take their time and *really* browse through shop after shop, trying on shoe after shoe, before settling on a pair or two to bring home.
With that observation, which type of shopper do you think would end up with a “good” guy if you compare the odds?
Okay. Granted that you’re a guy and guys don’t shop for shoes like that but still you still have to consider the choices before buying a pair, right?
If you’re the type who don’t take care of the shoes you own — I mean, you don’t care if it’s well-maintained, i.e. old ratty sandals are A-OK — wouldn’t that tell how loosely you handle your relationships?
You can always tell me that this metaphor is bloody silly but I think what I’m pointing out is something valid and worth all the time and thought you’d like to give it. ;)

A guy’s car will tell you more about him than his shoes. Guys shoes are defined by their purpose: running shoes, hiking shoes, ski boots, work boots. Ratty work boots work just as well as new work boots, until they don’t. Guys don’t make statements with shoes. They make statements with cars.

Perhaps you’re right, sherpa. But there are guys who don’t give a damn with what kind of car they drive. Some even don’t have cars. Would that mean they have zilch for a statement? Or they’re not worth a once-over since they can’t make a statement with a car? They’ll definitely have shoes, though. Consciously or not, the pair they’re wearing will make a statement.

My daddy always said that you could tell a lot about a man’s character by the condition of his shoes.

Hi Denise. I think I heard that said before, too. Do you think your dad’s right?
