Famous Shoe Brands for Men

Can't ever judge a book by its cover - can judge a man by his shoes. I write this from a female point of view, well aware that for the most part, many men will find it too finicky of me. But if you were to ask me, on the basis of what touchstones do I judge men, my knee-jerk reaction would be shoes. Somehow, I cannot hang tough with men who aren't really particular about the footwear they're wearing. Many men I have met in my life have given me a reason enough not to meet them again. I looked down at their feet, and could never look up to them for a sense of fashion and styling. Persnickety of me? May be.

You see, it's just the smell of leather, that strength in the sole, and the looks oh-so-irresistible, that are enough to allure women. Hey, we're talking shoes here. Don't you get ideas.
