SHOES MAKETH A MAN!

WHILE TRENDS COME AND GO, THERE ARE SOME TIMELESS STYLES THAT ARE A MUST-HAVE IN ANY MAN'S WARDROBE

The eyes might be the window to the soul but shoes are a window to everything else. What shoes you wear can say a lot about you. A study done by researchers at the University of Kansas found that people were able to accurately judge 90 per cent of a stranger’s personal characteristics such as age, income, political affiliation and more just by looking at the style, colour and condition of their shoes. While that sounds like the perfect game for when you are out pub-hopping with your friends, do consider what your shoes say about yourself. For instance, if you are wearing dirty or scuffed shoes, others may think of you as someone who doesn’t care about their outward appearance, or maybe is just plain lazy and a slob. On the other hand, someone with conspicuously shined shoes might come across as extremely competent, or a perfectionist.
