Men’s Shoes

pointed shoes

The pointedness of a man’s shoes is inversely proportional to his usefulness to society.

Evidence for this may be gained from looking at the footwear of estate agents and firemen. What are your observations?

Discuss (that’s what the comments bit below is for).

An aside: my weekend shoes are always more rounded than the shoes I wear for business. Does that make me more useful to society at the weekend?

    Oh so true. Those silly duck billed, chisel-shaped shoes men wear are just silly.

    Give me a manly boot any day.

    So true 😉 I think. I’m going to drop into Foxtons on the way home and have a look.

    Do you think there is a similar relationship for shoes and girls?

    So right – the most extreme examples are seen on assistants in mobile phone shops – nuff said!

  5. I’ve just been reminded: it is to Martin Dudley that this fine quote should be attributed to. Thanks, Martin.

    (Martin’s footwear is very rounded.)
