What your shoes say to guys
We love our sky-high pumps and cool-girl boots, but what do guys think of them? Expect some obvious reactions and some major curveballs as you flip through our recent dude survey.
Brightly colored shoes get you noticed.
"She's the first person on the dance floor."
Super-trendy shoes can translate as costumey.
"Ninety percent certain this woman was thrust into the city via a time portal, suddenly teleported while training for the very first Greek Olympics."
Barely there sandals say "beach goddess."
"She wishes she was on a Hawaiian vacation, but the park will have to do for now."
Tall buckled boots are tough...even with a sundress.
"She's wearing a skirt, but figuratively, she's wearing pants. She knows what she wants."
Ultra-girly shoes are sweet in (almost) all the right ways.
"I hate her rom-coms and obsession with flourless chocolate cake, but I love everything else about her."
It pains him to look at your sky-high pumps.
"Could that be her hand in the shoe? Maybe it is her hand in the shoe. Ankles just don't bend that way."
Your platforms aren't your only platform.
"She updates her Tumblr page 20 times a day while listening to She & Him on repeat."
Too many animal prints make it look like you crave attention.
"She pretends to listen to music with an iPod turned off with hopes to overhear a conversation about her looks."
—Justin, 30
Low heels reveal your true shoe preference.
"She's put-together at work, but on the weekends, she loves to change into jeans and a T-shirt. She looks hot either way."
Black boots and bare legs look hot. But not in the way you're thinking.
"Undeterred by the weather, this girl is going to rock a winter no matter what—even if she ends the day in a pool of her own sweat."
