What do your shoes say about you?

Walking around campus every day, you’re bound to see a multitude of different races, religions and majors. You name it, and we’re likely to have it here. What you might not realize though, is that you’re also seeing an overwhelming multitude of different shoes. Yes, shoes. One might ask, “Why does this matter?” Do someone’s shoes have anything to do with what kind of a person they are or what their personality is? Certainly shoes are just something you wear to get you from point A to point B, right? According to several students on campus, this is not so.
“I would say shoes definitely do say something about you as a person. My favorite shoes are my cute sandals because they reflect how I’m feeling that day when I wear them. I usually wear certain shoes to match my mood,” said freshman Carly Farrington.
Sophomore Breanne Schoby shared a similar view. “My favorite pair of shoes is my moccasins because they’re comfy, of course.  I think shoes can definitely describe the mood someone is in and what type of person they are. If someone’s wearing brightly colored sparkly shoes, I’d say they are probably very girly.” It’s obvious that the girls in this school think their shoes are
important, but what about the guys? Do they share the same enthusiasm for their footwear?
“My favorites are probably my black and white Vans Classics,” said freshman Jeriah Dunk. “Shoes can show what kind of a person you are or what you want to be seen as, but I just like my Vans because they go with everything and they just fit well with who I am.”
Freshman Daren Evans agrees. “Shoes can say if a person is athletic, classy, a skater or dressy. They can define who you are or what you want someone to think you are. Personally, my favorites are my blue converse-like flat shoes.”
Freshman soccer player Jason Tessman took another view. “My favorite shoes are my Nike Mercurial Vapor 4 cleats in white and blue. Since they’re soccer cleats, it would tell you that I like to play fast and take people on one versus. one in soccer.”
Surprisingly, it seems as though the guys in this school take their shoes a lot more seriously than girls, which was an unpredictable outcome. Guys seem to think their shoes reflect an image they are trying to portray- it may not necessarily be who they actually are as a person.
So girls, be observant of a guy’s shoes – he might be trying to sway you into thinking he’s something he’s really not. And guys, be paying attention to girl’s shoes – it might be easier for you to predict what kind of mood she’s in.
