1. Dominant - Thick soled, wide, heavy boots accent the size of
the foot and it's ability to stomp. (Aggression) These boots may be
Doc Martens, Combat boots (worn world wide by the military), Jack
Boots (worn by enforcement agents), Engineer Boots (worn by bikers)
and Cowboy boots. The purpose of these boots is to add stature and
steadiness. They are a sign of authority-they say don't mess with me
or you'll get stomped. Stomping is a universal sign of aggression. A
study done by Eibl-Eibsfeldt 1971:12 showed that even blind and deaf
children stomp their feet in defiant anger. And the song "These
Boots Are Made For Walking" by Nancy Sinatra echoes this fact
where the lyrics state-"one of these days these boots are gonna
walk all over you." You will probably not be able to see the
footwear of someone in a Christian personals ad, but eventually you will
see what they wear on a regular basis.
It should come as no surprise that militant groups
such as the Skin Heads and Nazis chose to wear boots as a unique
sign of power.
2. Neutral - This type of shoe doesn't make any
brash statements and is neither masculine nor feminine. Penny
loafers, Hush Puppies etc. are made for comfort not stomping and are
not suitable for the socially ambitious.
3. Submissive - Lightweight upper construction with
thin sides slight trim and flourishes are the hallmarks of these
shoes. Loafers and Beatle boots are a few examples. They downplay
the size of the foot and it's bluntness.
Men - Women generally love boots (on a man), but not
necessarily the
militant styles. Fashion Trainer John Malloy found that women
consider men in cowboy boots more attractive than ordinary
shoes.
Women - Your shoes have a whole different story.
Cultures around the world recognize the strong connection between
all phases of womanhood and the shoe. Some Examples;
Cinderella Shoes - Speak of the desire most women
have for a story book romance with happy ever after endings. For the
young lady of marrying age.
The ruby slippers of Wizard of Oz fame are the
central object of magical adventures. For the female child.
The Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe. For the elderly
women.
We have cultural connections with shoes in ceremonies.
Shoes are tied to the back of the wedding car, drank from at
weddings, and saved from youth.
Women's shoes are designed to accentuate the various
parts of the anatomy and make a woman more attractive. This makes
women's shoes different than all others.
All other shoes have a utilitarian purpose, but the
women's high heel is pure cultural vanity. Sorry for the lack of PC
here, but many women have fallen prey to it's mean designs.
The higher the heel the more cultural vanity yields
it's punishment on the victim. While it is stylish and expected it is
not absolutely necessary. Don't give her a demerit if she doesn't show
up in high heels for your first date.
