Little late in the week to read last Sunday's paper but the cover on the weekend feature magazine grabbed my interest.  Surprised no one else noticed at this later date.

 

Just read the atical after posting - the "typical" information that tells one that some women really like shoes ans some are not that interested in them - still what I call the "shoe gene" - whether it is female or not; but I think both can be carriers of it.

 

The shoe quiz  as "interesting" but not overthe top.

[Ynotme]

Well I am Boots Sturdy Dependable

[JeffB]

I'm Flats, reliable and sensible. Heh!

[Thighbootguy]

OMG

 

I came up as sneakers.  

 

[Bikergoth]

^Haha!

 

^{31% Boots, 26% Sandals - (which is slightly worrying...), 24% High heels, 13% Sneakers & 4% flats}

 

^{Apparently I'm sturdy & dependable but still have enough sass to know when to make a big investment.}

 

^{That was fun!}

[Pumped]

Sandals? I hate sandals! High heels 2%? I would wear stiletto pumps until my feet fell off! Stupid quiz!!

[Guest]

Flats? Trying to fit some of the american ways was more miss than hit.

I'm supposedly a sneaker (trainer). I'm trying to remember the last time I wore sneakers.

[Dr. Shoe]

Sandals.

[Histiletto]

The quiz didn't even come close to depicting the footwear I want to be known by. Too many variables had to be assumed from the choices presented and the author of the quiz didn't define each selection from their perspective. For all I know this quiz was to find out what the cereal called "Grape Nuts" by Post Foods taste like.

By the way, is there really any difference between an obsession and a fetish for high heels, other than the fact men supposedly can't be obsessive over them and women usually don't have to exercise their shoe fetishism because they already wear them?

[Heelster]

Well that survey wasn't much use. If I could have said "none of the above" maybe I could have been a bit honest.

 

Came up BOOTS - - - go figure.

[Shafted]

I never even considered such surveys even worth my time. They are like most magazine surveys, total BS.

[WarrenB]

Silly thing has me as flats. I'm a heel guy.

[SleekHeels]

The quiz scored me 35% boots and 3% heels. If I'm honest I think that does reflect my mostly "sturdy and dependable" character, but it does overlook the fact that people who enjoy wearing heels aren't all completely outrageous extrovert party-animals caught in a hedonistic whirlwind of moral abandon! A lot of people wear heels to add a spark of excitement, glamour and style to an otherwise more moderate lifetyle.

[mtnsofheels]

Like MIro, I too am a sneaker,  do not wear those often but am on the move in boots.

[jerbare]

The test came up 30% flats and only 2% heels not even close for me

[inquisitor]

Said I was sneakers.

 

  11% high heels 5% flats 2% sandals 37% boots 44% sneakers

 

Would be fine, except the results are pretty much the inverse of my shoe collection: 44% are heels, 37% are flats, 11% are boots, 5% are sneakers, and 2% are sandals.

[DPO]

Came up as boots 28% with high heels 26% as a very close second. Flats came up as 20%. Fairly accurate for myself. It was fun.
