You Can Tell A Lot About a Man by His Shoes

We always tell our lady friends that you can tell a lot about a guy by his shoes and his watch. Actually, what we really mean is that you can tell a true baller versus a pretender by his shoes and his watch. Sure you can drop a bill or two on a nice shirt and pants, but only a man of means would spend $500 on those perfect loafers or $10,000 on an understated leather band watch.

Well now Donna Sozio, the author of Never Trust A Man in Alligator Loafers: What His Shoes Really Say About His True Love Potential, has expounded on our theory. In a recent msn.com article, she provides some insight into what a man's pair of shoes says about his character and relationship style. And what is her take on guys like us who like wearing expensive designer shoes?

"Guys who sport this season's Gucci driving moccasins and Prada boots may very well be what Sozio calls "collectors." "This type of guy not only collects name-brand shoes, but also name-brand, 'trophy'-esque women, too," she explains. Because these men likely see women as boast-worthy accessories and not real people, Sozio notes that they most likely won't spend the time or effort required for nurturing a relationship."


I hate to say it, but she's spot on.
