What do my shoes say?
A team of psychologists at the University of Kanas found that shoes tell a lot about a person.
Their research found that the style, value, color and condition of shoes can give away a lot about the wearer’s emotional, political and other vital personality traits.
In their study a group of 63 students accurately judged the age, gender, income, and attachment anxiety of shoe owners based on pictures.
This is what they had to say:
“Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers. Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear. Shoes have great variety of styles, brands, looks, and functions. Because of this variety, shoes can carry individual difference information, but do they? We suggest that the answer is yes.”
My go-to shoe is always sneakers. But when I’m working on my computer, I love to go barefoot.
Some say that means I’m laid back, easy to talk to and that I get along with everyone.
I think that might be true.
