Footwear has become more than just a protection measure, however, as a choice of shoes that you make is a reflection of your taste and your style. Casual shoes are often reflective of a casual dinner or a particular activity that you are doing while dress shoes can make a tailored suit look even better than before. Men's shoes are as important an item as women’s shoes and they are as worthy of careful selection as women’s footwear. While there may not be as many options for men’s footwear as there is female footwear, that doesn’t mean you can’t make some good choices to do with your feet. Here are seven reasons that your shoes really do matter.
- Your shoes can transform your body language. Christian Louboutin said that, and it’s something that you should pay attention to. The way you move your body can be controlled by your shoes – he said that too – and experts believe that footwear could affect how you carry yourself. Your body language is all about the way that you walk and talk and even sit, and it can say a lot about you if you are wearing dress shoes that are shown to perfection versus muddy trainers. Since shoes can control your body language, it’s always smart to make sure that you’re wearing shoes that feel comfortable and are well-fitted.
- You are investing in your future. Okay so this isn’t the same as investing in property for your future, but the shoes that you wore when you were younger are your investment in yourself when you are older. Your shoes matter in the way you carry your spine and your legs so the way you stand is impacted simply by the style of your shoes. If you are wearing the wrong shoes, there is a heavy toll on your body and it’s your bone structure that’s going to suffer the most. If your shoes are balancing the weight of your entire body and bearing most of your stress, then you need to consider making sure that you are wearing shoes that pay better for you in the future.
- Your shoes can define you. It sounds wrong, but your shoes can define who you are. Your fashion sense is not reflected in a tailored suit – anybody can wear a tailored suit. If you’re wearing a tailored suit with scruffy shoes it says a lot about how much you actually care about the way that you look and your overall image. Many men often spend time selecting their shirts and their blazers and even their cufflinks, but shoes should be a part of that decision.
- Your shoes can be representative of your culture. There are certain men out there who wear traditional Indian footwear or Arabic footwear and there are even those who wear thongs on the beach because they’re Australian. But your shoes can reflect who you are in your culture and what you are doing for your day.
- You are judged by your shoes. It sounds petty, but people will judge you on your choice of shoes. If you are heading to the gym, and your shoes are immaculate, and they look like you don’t go to the gym very often. If you are a trade worker and you have immaculately clean boots, it may reflect that you’re not very worthy of the work. People create their opinions based on your shoes, and while it may not sound fair it’s just the way the world is right now.
- You’ll be in fashion – or not. They say it’s impossible for somebody to look well dressed if they have fallen short of the footwear choices, so when someone is looking at you, shoes may be the last thing that they look at. A lasting impression includes your shoes. And if you want to be on a trend that making sure you are wearing the shoes of the season matters
- They can help you to build your confidence. Good shoes take you to good places, and that’s not just the location!
