I have this philosophy about shoes. Shoes are a choice. I have been observing peoples' shoe choice for most of my life. Our shoe choice reveals a lot about our personality....even if we wear shoes someone else chose for us. That can reveal something too.
All the shoes in this sketch are from different parts of my life. They all hold strong memories.
I notice that I attract friends who wear either very unusual...or else earth-toned shoes. The trend in the area I live in has been white running shoes for the last 20 years. I'm a closet white running shoe wearer, only wearing them when I work out. The dirt attraction factor keeps me from wearing them out in the world. (Yowza! What message does that reveal?)
I have watched my shoe style choices change drastically along with my careers and phases of life. It's quite fascinating to spend some time observing the shoes we all choose to wear. How interesting when you date or meet someone for the first time to see if their shoes tell you things that their words may or may not. Or if you're at a lecture...what are the lecturer's shoes telling you?
I hope you try out this shoe-cological shoe-losophy and see what it tells you.
What types of shoes do the people in your life wear? What kind of shoes do you choose to wear?
