You married a stripper?


Yep. We've been married for the best 11 years of my life.

I've been rocking the same pair for about three years now.


So I take it you don't do a lot of running in your running shoes?

You have a very good eye for photography. Do you do some sort of art (Drawing, Painting, Photography) as a hobby?

I have an identical set of boots sitting next to me right now. I should have replaced them a few months ago.

When I was touristing in the Soviet Union before it fell apart, people on the sidewalk if they noticed me would almost always wind up looking at my shoes. I guess something about my appearance said "non Soviet" and they used shoes to confirm and maybe categorize the difference.

I mostly wore fairly new Rocksports. I was surprised the black marketeers didn't bother me. It turned out they were only interested in the most popular Western brands such as Nike.

In the US you can often recognize foreigners by the funny shoes they wear and that they don't think that they are particularly funny or hip.

An 6 year old pair of gray suede Vans. One of the laces is short after being chewed by a dog. They squeak because the insoles have separated from the outdoors.

So your wife is a stripper? I'm not making that assumption based on the shoes, but the fact that you said she wasn't wearing much else the first time you met her.

I buy my shoes from a cobbler in Tibet who tans his own leather from the corpses of mountain climbers that he recovers during the spring thaw.

You can't afford them.

I don't think I want to know these people.


The ones in the middle kind of look like H.R. Geiger, only 'fabulousitized' (it's a word, look it up!). If they were more Alien looking, and black with (very) slightly transparent toes, they'd be farking awesome, and I would love the woman who wore them, just because.

umad: Or you could just be a guy like me who gets to work from home in a place with nice weather, so I wear good leather sandals about 90% of the time.

Sounds like me, yet I only wear shoes about 2-3 hours a day.

My complete uniform consists of a t-shirt and boxers. Hell, sometimes just a t-shirt

Ever since I saw this movie, I've tried to make it a point to notice people's shoes, sometimes you do learn something.

So basically, she's still in the heavy breathing business?

I bet I would throw the curve on this one. By day at work I wear well polished 10" black leather Corcoran field boots under my black suit pants - and they just look like nice shoes.

At home and pretty much 90% of the rest of the time I'm wearing shoes I wear a pair of Underarmor flip flops until they're pretty much completely busted.

Salt Lick Steady: Hmmm... I wonder how people would judge me based on the Dan Posts I wear all the time.

[i761.photobucket.com image 375x375]

/I imagine they'd get it all wrong



I imagine that most people think that people would get it all wrong, that their shoes don't convey their clever, eclectic personality. I imagine most people think they're inscrutable, and not like most people. Of course, most people are by definition very much like most people, even if they wear Dan Posts.

tlchwi02: ZAZ: Teva sandals today, other days Rockport shoes that are overdue for shoe polish.

Judge me.

well let me go off of their main criterion and we'll see? "age, gender, income, political affiliation, emotional"
age: 23
gender: male
income: mid 40's
political affiliation: democrat
emotional: relaxed

how'd it work?


Oooo, can I play? Allen Edmonds strands. Light brown. Go.

I learned early on in my career that the most important person on the set also tends to wear the 'nicest' shoes (hard to qualify what nicest is...you can just tell). So on days when I'm dealing with people, I put on my nicer shoes even if they're less practical or comfortable.

It's interesting how much more people will listen to the guy wearing nice shoes.

But I think, like every other (hetero) guy, nice shoes just means that they're shiny and
in new-like condition.
Other than that, I couldnt tell a $50 pair from a $300 pair.
