Shoes
Shoes. So much can be written on this subject, but I'm going to keep this short and simple, to just go over some few interesting points.
Shoes - women LOVE them, men try and pretend they don't. Ok, some men don't, but some do, and would die before admitting it, cuz it's a "chick thing". I once worked with a man that had a pair of $350 shoes. $350!?!?!? I spent that much on a brake job for my car once. That included pads, labor, and brand new rotors. I can't even imagine a pair of shoes awesome enough to spend $350 on. The worst part was they were fairly boring loafers, with the funny little tassels, and stitching that came through on the bottom - last pair of shoes I had like that, the soles wore down and the strings wore through, and the soles fell off. Yeah. I also have known guys that were obsessed with how perfect and clean their shoes were - no worn sneakers for these guys, they have to look brand new, or the shoes are too old.
These guys were wierd to me. Most guys I know don't really care that much about their shoes. My husband has several pairs of shoes, and for the most part, he has favorites. He loves his converse - he used to have a pair of seafoam green high tops, now he has a pair of high tops that are red and orange and tie-dyed. Pretty cool. He also picked up a pair of black and red adidas at the Goodwill that he LOVES (even if they give him no ankle support, which he needs). Mostly, he's not too picky, but it's kinda cute when he has a favorite pair - something he likes cuz they "look cool" rather than "are comfy".
Women on the other hand are very different. Sure, I have sneakers I love mostly because they are comfortable, but they're also cool looking. I'm a little picky - they have to look good enough, AND be really comfy. My other shoes mainly focus on comfort, but I'll be honest, I have some really COOL shoes - shoes that are unique and interesting. Not all that comfy, but unique.
more later..... maybe :P
