Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

What are gutties??

I have the toughest time finding good footwear. Shoe stores seldom have my size.

That's my size^ It blows having to find wide shoes though. Especially when you want fine leather two toned shoes.

Round toe? You kidding me?! lol

With a round toe and walking heel? Don't want to lose an eye here.........

That's British slang for running shoes

Oops, dialect....

Strictly speaking, they're these:

(Definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gutties ). The term is often used to refer to trainers or "sneakers" more generally.

Every other post of yours has me firing up the google machine.


Not a complaint; just an observation.....

It's something I've seen a lot on the tube at all times of the year. Always strikes me as odd. I can understand it in the circumstances you mention, but on a fine June day???

Very odd. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that they are trying not to damage the leather soles on their Church's

Some shoes have such a lovely finish to the soles that it's kinda hard to wear them the first time.

Scots-Irish, really. It often mystifies they English as well. As Uncle Oscar once said, ‘We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language’. (The Canterville Ghost 1887)

Hopefully.

Is it wrong that I like to spend a few days stroking a new pair before they get worn and scuffed? The cats do stare at me kinda funny.

....with jeans, a cowboy hat and a white t-shirt, covered in sweat and dirt on a tractor..... oops.... sorry.... having a moment

The important question is, what color is the tractor in your vision?

 

[Yeps]

With a finish like that, the first time wearing them it is also hard to not slip and fall down.

Jinkies, don't I know it.... I wore a fairly new pair of leather soled shoes out to a friend's wedding last month. That morning in London it bucketed out of the heavens, and most London pavements were like oiled glass!

Those are so beautiful I can't imagine someone wanting to wear them and scuff the bottoms up.

They're food for shoe fetishists.

I put a strip of cloth tape on the sole, running from toe to arch. It prevents slips (an old catwalk trick as models wear new shoes) and by the time it wears off the sole is sufficiently broken in.

And bar foot rails can really mess up that nicely beveled waist (the black section).........or so I've heard......

These days, I tend to notice if a man is actually wearing *shoes* as opposed to sneakers or the like. A pair of understated, simple black or brown leather oxfords is, to me, the sign of a man of common sense.

A man ought not to wear sandals in public. Unless he's tramping over the hills of Palestine with his disciples or sword-fighting with animated skeletons on board a Grecian ship.

LizzieMaine, this made my day
