“Tell me which shoes you wear and I'll tell you who you are”. Seven minutes are enough to reveal some important character's aspects, just observing what shoes you are wearing: did you know? This is what the “Journal of Research in Personality” states. The research has been carried out by the Kansas University – USA (Gillath et al, 2012). So, be careful because it only takes 7 minutes to make a bad impression in your special days!
It is not only a matter of matching the shoes to the outfit: the fact is to understand what you want to communicate. If you wear a pair of studded boots for your first job interview you would express a rebellious nature, typical of those who love to impose themselves on others. Do you really want to make such an impression to your future boss?
Don't worry! We prepared this mini-guide to help you to be flawless on every occasion, without giving up your personality.
Let's make a premise.
The ideal shoe is the one you never want to take off
We all know that awful sensation of wanting to take off the shoes in the middle of the day, while we are rushing from one part of the city to another for appointments, or while we are standing for hours during a meeting or more simply when, invited to a wedding, we try “to survive” a sumptuous lunch.
The reason is that the shoes we are wearing don't grant an appropriate comfort and how long we succeed in taking them on reveal their quality. It is not only a matter of price, but also of quality and production's accuracy, starting from the choice of raw materials up to the manufacturing process. If there is a golden rule to start with in our selection, it is to prefer shoes whose fit never puts us in the condition of "making a misstep". Aesthetics must not sacrifice well-being.
