I have always believed in the idea that you can tell a great deal about a person by looking at their shoes. I don't mean this in a pervy, fetish obsessed kind of way (really, I don't). When you think about it, the shoes people people wear possibly make more of a statement about the way they wish to be perceived than any other item of clothing. Our choice of footwear may be much more a revelation of our subconscious selves than we realise. When we decide to wear the well worn and holey sneakers we keep in the back of the wardrobe we are saying more about ourselves than simple 'I want to be comfortable'. When we make such choices our manner in general is likely to be just as casual our footwear. If this is the case, just what statement are men trying to make when they don the new fashion in shoes? Pointed toes which curve upwards have become ubiquitous; in fact, it is getting very difficult to buy a pair of shoes which have not been influenced by this fashion. Women of course, have subjected themselves to extreme fashions in footwear for many years.
