Your shoes are not anymore merely part of your wardrobe, indeed they have a lot to say.
To make it more distinct for you, researchers at the University of Kansas made it official earlier this decade that a person can judge others by their shoes.
In the study, participants were shown images of strangers wearing shoes, and were asked to guess the wearer’s age, gender, income, political views, social status, and other important personality traits. Surprisingly, they were able to exactly guess an astounding 90 percent of the wearer’s characteristics.
From loafers to heels, there is a lot a person can just tell about her personality the way she chooses her footwear.
Here’s a guide for you:
Loafer Shoes

“The loafer is very responsible, very detail-driven, very much the person who manages all the details,” says Kelada. “They’re completely unshakable. They’re the true blue - the true friend, the true employee. With the loafer, what you see is what you get. They are on the job, whether it’s being a friend or in the workplace.”
High Heels
Women who wear flashy high heels may seem materialistic, but these women are actually incredibly hardworking. They have major drive, determination, and a standout work ethic.

“This is someone who says ‘yes’ before she says ‘no.’ She’s very willing, and very open to possibilities,” says Kelada. “She also really loves and values beauty, so she surrounds herself with beauty, whether it be in things, people, or how she lives. It doesn’t always have to be expensive, it just has to be pleasing to the eye. You walk in and go, ‘oh what a lovely room’ or ‘this is so inviting.’ She has a knack for being able to create an aesthetically pleasing space.”
High-Heeled Boots
This person can take control of the situation on one’s own. They’re quick on their feet and able to make clear, rational decisions. With exceptional self-assurance, people around this woman feel instantly safer in her hands.

“The work boot wearer is grounded, very practical, and always has a plan. This person never moves without a plan and is always thinking two or three steps ahead,” Kelada says.
Flats
You’ve to admit it - you work your butt off behind the scenes to make sure there’s always a perfectly finished product. And the best part is, you’re so humble that you don’t require any attention or recognition for your efforts.
