We all have heard that women judge a man by the shoes he wears on his feet. Watch a girl when you first meet. Apart from checking out your instant physical features and dare I say in a subtle way, she will also quickly flash her eyes down to your feet. But why is she interested in my shoes! We as men ask ourselves that quite often. Ask a girl and she will just shrug her shoulders and smile. They will never really let on what the reason is for doing so and why many stand by the saying.Browse some of the Internet Dating sites if you don’t believe me. Many women state somewhere in their introduction profiles that in order to date them, apart from having all the physical pointers and personality  traits, she will or does on occasion “hint” something like, “My new man should take pride in his appearance and wear good shoes…” Or something at least along those lines.But what the hell for?!?It’s the $64 000 dollar question and has most men mystified. To men shoes are important. Yes we want them to feel comfortable, have some style and suit us. But most of all they have to be practical as well. Remember we think differently from girls in many ways. We are logical creatures whereas Women are pretty much emotional. So does that mean women see shoes in some weird and peculiar “emotional” way?Perhaps yes. But also embedded are many DNA functions embedded in her for determining her next mate.Basically, women and girls really only care about the success and competitive successes of their children. Men act as a donor for this and do not underestimate their reasons either for this. Shallow as it sounds the basics are quite complex if you look deep enough. What also helps is how successful a man is in terms of his pocket. Whilst the child is young how are we as men going to provide stability and financial input? Times are hard and the girls are selective. Don’t ever think different on that score. What about love? Girls want us men to be loving, strong, protective, funny and many other things too, right? Well most of those are an after thought and that just stems from their basic and personal needs. Of course they want the best. Just as much as we do and whilst the majority of us aren’t blessed like Brad Pitt in the looks department or some other hot guy, we make the best of what we have!But how do girls go about judging a man straight off on his financial success? I mean, it isn’t as if we all go around with our bank account statements printed on our foreheads is it?Hmmm. So you still wondering what the hell has all this got to do with shoes, Mister Author of this article?  

Well I haven’t all the answers but all I can do is merely speculate, in a typical male logical way (don’t you love how I get that in guys?) is that shoes can be cheap and shoes can be expensive! Think of it in terms of a watch or how great your last piece of dental work was that improved that smile? Shoes, like teeth and watches, can indicate or at least hint at your level of success. Why I hear you ask? Because they are basics as much as luxuries… Think about that one. Just for a moment and take in what I just said.

Women aren’t stupid. Even if many of them like to act dumb now and again just to get our attention or give us as men the comfort of feeling or being in control. Good quality shoes cannot be easily faked. Plastic is plastic. Leather is leather. The finest leather is just that also…Women can tell if we are trying to fake our success guys by our footwear.Cheap shoes look cheap. They also wear out pretty well quickly. Good shoes and those of a high quality pretty much point to the fact our outlook for the future is long term. Hence good shoes last longer. That also shows your investment in your shoes reflects your investment in them. The quality of the shoe means also they were pretty much expensive. Bang, there you have it. You are also someone who strives for the best and that also means financial. That equates to being a good mate long term to provide for her and her off spring.What about jewelry on a man? Surely if I wear the bling watch and the bling bracelet, she will notice that too?Yes she will notice. But what she will see is that jewelry isn’t practical and a requirement. Shoes are a basic and serve a function and purpose. To many women it sends out the signal that a guy wearing expensive or indeed cheaper jewelry means you are focusing on yourself and spending discretionary monies on oneself rather than her. Girls don’t really like that guys! We all know that!Plus it also sends a signal out we want to look flash because we want to attract not the right girl, but many girls. Again we as men can argue it is our DNA make up that makes us want to have sex with a girl or many girls as often as we can because we want to produce off spring to keep the Human race moving.But take a step back on that one, okay? Girls see that as a threat to their off spring as it seriously increases our potential of having children with other women. That guys seriously undermines the resources available to her own off spring if we as men are constantly paying out to other off spring not belonging to her.There is a method behind this madness if we look far enough. Girls also judge our style of shoe against our clothing and physical appearance. Plus dare I say our footwear also reflects our personalities and who and what we stand for.  So when a woman says or comments on your shoes, or whilst you are standing innocently in that shopping mall queue and you catch a woman glmpsing at your shoes, after reading this you may have some idea why she is doing that. After all, she cannot help it. It’s pre-programmed in her DNA guys!
