You can tell a lot about a man from his shoes.

Women in particular seem to think so, as dating advice for men that comes from the opposite sex reliably includes exhortations to make sure your footwear game is on point. When I asked one of my editors this morning whether she pays attention to a man’s shoes on a date, she said no—unless he’s wearing sneakers, which is a red flag. Or conspicuously nice shoes, which is a green flag.

So, yes.
