What Are Your Favourite Shoes and What Do They Say About Your Character?

A long-known saying - don't judge a man by his hat, but by his shoes. Every knowledgeable woman can say that the first impression of a man and the shoes he wears can be quite telling. The better-kept and more expensive the shoes he wears, the more put-together he is himself and the more stable and financially secure his situation. But what about women?

The first thing that comes to mind is the character from the series "Sex and the City" - Carrie Bradshaw - with her weakness for stylish shoes and impressive shoe collection. This confirms at the very least that shoes for a woman are not merely footwear but an important accessory. And I agree 100%, because for the sake of a good visual appearance I am willing to sacrifice comfort.

But each of us has a preference for a particular type of shoe. Some are comfort advocates and always choose low-heeled shoes, soft upper material, or slip-ons. Others will arrive anywhere - to work on a weekday, to a club party, to an outdoor picnic, or even to a sports event - in court shoes on a heel of at least 10 cm.

Shoes are a very personal wardrobe element, adapted not only to a woman's foot but also to the wearer's character. Let us then look at what has been studied about shoe choice, which is not random - it is determined by our lifestyle and character.

Platform shoes.

If you cannot imagine your wardrobe without platform shoes, then you certainly love being the centre of attention. You enjoy treating yourself from time to time - with an aromatic bath, a massage session, and the like. What men like about you is primarily your openness and lightness, which is certainly not associated with frivolity. A platform shoe fan always chooses a partner very seriously - one-night stands are not your style.

Court shoes.

Lovers of court shoes are creative but also inconstant beings - unfinished courses, a book not read to the end, a renovation started long ago. But among acquaintances you stand out and are praised for your extraordinary taste. One of your long-cherished dreams might be to become an artist or musician. What men like about you is your sensuality and ability to empathise. You can be sure that all friends and acquaintances always enjoy your company.

Ballet flats.

Ballet flats are simple and elegant, and moreover combine easily with hundreds of different things. If you primarily choose to wear ballet flats, then you are evidently a careful and empathetic person. You usually pay attention to details, love children, animals, and romantic films. In clothing too you maintain principles of comfort and simplicity, without unnecessary showing-off. In men you awaken the instinct of a protector and carer - and that kind of protection is something you also need.

Shoes with an open heel.

You like everything to be orderly and controlled; you do not let anything run its own course. You are also always very punctual and hardworking. Sentimentality is not characteristic of you, but depending on your mood you allow yourself to flirt. You are that helpful shoulder that friends always find useful in sad and difficult moments. You are ready to take on another person's responsibility as well. Such a purposeful character usually wins the hearts of... immature men.

Sports shoes.

In all likelihood dresses and skirts are not your usual attire, as you prefer sporty-style clothing. You like to evaluate everything only by your own criteria. The most characteristic traits - extroversion and intolerance. Your openness often gets you into trouble, which you nevertheless handle successfully. A sports shoe fan usually pays attention to their eating habits, although they place enjoyment of food above its healthiness. You like to travel and meet people, form new friendships, without sorting people by nationality or social status.

Moccasins.

What interests you most is how comfortable the shoes are. You are a follower of tradition and prefer stable and enduring relationships. You feel best in the company of close people, where you are fully protected. You are the best friend. You win men's hearts easily, without effort, because you never try to pretend to be something you are not - you are always yourself.

Tall boots.

Boots with tall shafts are part of military uniform. You are a dominant woman. But on the other hand, wearing tall boots indicates a certain insecurity, some hidden feelings that have not been allowed to express themselves. Behind the combativeness lies shyness and extreme sensuality.

Ankle boots.

You are a party fan, and moreover you have more male friends than female. You do not dwell on the past and do not worry much about the future - problems will sort themselves out in the end. By nature you are an optimist and almost always in high spirits, which is why many people enjoy being in your company. You like stormy, passionate, and short-lived relationships. The phrase "till death do us part" gives you goosebumps.

High-heeled shoes.

High heels are the accessory of a powerful woman. Your shoe heels click loudly and you like that. Your ambitions are the driving force of your life. A successful career is important to you. At work you usually find yourself in male company and you are not afraid to compete with them. That is precisely why you provoke opposite feelings in the opposite sex - they either love you madly or hate you.

Slip-ons.

You value inner qualities in people, not outer appearance or superficiality. You constantly follow current cultural events and enjoy being in good company. In dealings with the opposite sex you are direct, speak clearly, without caring how the other person feels. This creates certain communication problems. You do not allow anyone to intrude into your personal life - its secrets are accessible only to very close people.
