In His Shoes...


I have never been one to believe in random selection because in my opinion all things have an underlying pattern no matter how random they may seem. Today we're going to be talking about shoes, yes shoes, I once heard a girl say that she used three things to rate a man, his watch, his shoe and his phone
interesting opinion isn't it, anyway for today we're going to go beyond that,  it is my belief that to a reasonable extent we can tell a person's character by his shoes, whether he's simple, the show off, confident, laid back or just plain unconventional. The truth is, it is normal for people to switch between pairs in the various categories that'll be mentioned but if observed closely you'd notice people tend to favour a certain category , which is worn three out of five working days in a week . Having said that, let's roll out the list
 1) Converse : This spells one word, simplicity, he's not overly crazy about how he looks, in as much as he's not the best dressed he's just okay with not being the worst.




2) Loafers : Mr detail, this guy pays attention to detail, from the starched shirt to the chinos or cashmere pant trousers well ironed with front gator, he's not necessarily a fashionista but he's a good definition of being fresh , people in this category tend to take themselves seriously like having to leave BDPA to Osasogie just to iron a shirt because he can't imagine himself going to class with anything less .


3) Boat Shoe: some might say that they both belong in the same category which is true to an extent but I've come to realize that people that favor this particular footwear are usually more laid back,as the shoe in itself is quite tough and easily maintained, there's something classy to them, relaxed in their sense of style their mantra, comfort comes first.

 4)Brogues : Now here's a man who takes his fashion sense seriously, it was first seen as a dress shoe to be worn on special occasions but  slowly it has made its way into our higher institutions, a pair usually costs between thirteen to fifteen thousand, custom made goes for between eight to ten thousand, hustling or not any student willing to splurge that amount of cash on a foot wear is definitely a fashionista, they love and have good taste and don't mind sunbathing in the spot light should it decide to shine on them .

5) Sneakers : Air max, red October's, Karmakazees, Zanottis etc this here is the alternative version of the men in brogues, with the brogues being more urban gentlemanly or metro sexual in nature this on the other hand is pure urban Street style and  just as flashy with the snap back, colorful back packs bucket hats and ripped jeans these boys literally feed of the attention.


 6) Ankle boots : we've got the desert boot, wallabies, choker boot etc this man is not easy to come by, he's confident, stylish but at the same time different, he's not interested in following the crowd.

7) Palm Slippers : This cuts across all manner of easy wear, from the leather slippers to the Nike, Adidas etc this guy is easy going and your opinion doesn't matter literally they don't care and they're pretty confident in their own skin in a nutshell "they nor send you" .

           In every twelve there's a Judas, so likewise, there might be some exceptions, but more often than not a significant  portion of the male populace tend to follow this trend.
