Here Is What Your 9 Favorite Shoes Styles Say About You
Incurvy

Look down at your feet, what shoes are you wearing?

Shoes are chosen based on the occasion, duh. So what are you up to?

Arguably, you can draw numerous conclusions from one's footwear. Simply, put yourself in their shoes.

1. Tennis shoes

If they are well-worn then you are a gym-junkie. If not, well, then you are a casual partaker.

Somehow, wearing tennis shoes makes you want to jog in place. No need to pay for therapy, exercising in tandem with the pulsing beat dissipates all anxiety.

2. Converse or Vans

Radiating youth and a philosophy to approach life with ease, you are functional but trendy. Who knows, you might be Avril Lavigne incarnate. 'Sk8ter boi' was your anthem and Spencer's was your store of choice, to your parent's chagrin.

You are experiencing with all things alternative, riding the line between hipster and preppy.

3. Sperry's and All Boat-shoes

Either you are in a fraternity or you want to be. Unfortunately, you probably don't wear socks with your shoes so they are rancid.

Also, you mistakenly believe that pastel chubbies are attractive. Hear me clearly, I am thankful that you are confident in your manhood. I hope you meet a really nice guy, someday.

Bottom line: If you don't own a boat or work as a male model, then boat shoes are a no-go.

4. Loafers

A popular shoe worn by fashionable men who believe that comfort need not be sacrificed on the altar of style.

Even women love loafers because they can be dressed up or down. Their versatility reflects modernity and a sophisticated androgyny.

5. Stilettos

Let me spell it out, C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T.

Sidewalk cracks and cobblestones beware, these shoes show no fear. Tower above the crowd and feel like a Victoria Secret Angel for one, glorious (albeit painful) night.

6. Conservative Heels

Were you stowed in a purse before arriving at work? I think you were!

Wear these bad boys at the meeting and then slip into flats under your desk. Or better yet, don tennis shoes for the power-walk during your lunch break.

You are a well-rounded adult or at least, you want to seem so.

7. Ballet Flats

Wife her up! She has a gentle, sweet disposition. Imagine Pam from 'The Office.' Oh, and she always has candy at her desk or a snack in her purse.

8. Sandals

From henceforth, sandals would like to be recognized as distinct from flip-flops. Sandals flatter a dress, a skirt and even shorts and t-shirt.

They say that you tried, but not too much. Thank you, sandals, for all that you do!

9. Flip-flops

Where is the beach? Or I am doing laundry? Or I am running errands? Bum around or get stuff done, either way flip-flops can handle it. And if they suddenly can't, throw them out and purchase a $2 pair from literally anywhere.

Shoes help us walk through our days. For many of us, we do not wonder whether or not we will have shoes.

Yet, innumerable others the world over do not have a closet full of shoes. They may only have one or even none.

I challenge you to donate one pair of shoes for every pair of shoes that you have. Imagine who will receive that shoe and all the places they will go.

By donating, you touch their sole.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
