answer:This seems simply horrible to me, especially if this is done prior to meeting someone for the first time. To form preconcieved notions about a person based on anything other than a persons mind would seriously undermine the possibility of forming any constructive relationship in the future. It really doesn’t matter if it’s shoes or clothes or jewelery or even skin color this is an extremely shallow endeavor, IMNSHO. I’m with you, I look at the eyes. Here’s a fun test. Wear two slightly different shoes one day and see who notices. Report back :)
