What do your shoes tell about you?

They say you can tell alot about someone from the shoes they wear.
I just came across this page about 'shoe reading' - of all things!

"In folklore, it is possible to ‘read’ a person by looking at the bottoms of their shoes.

Here’s a quick, fun guide, to reading shoes.

This diagram shows areas of wear on the bottom of a shoe, but the same rules apply to the right one. Check both for some interesting results.

1. WEAR AT THE TOES.
Spending money as you go, never holding on to it.

2. BEHIND THE TOES
Sexy and sensual. A flirt.

3. INSIDE FOOT
Mean, greedy people are said to wear their shoes out here first.

4. OUTSIDE FOOT
Extravagance, wasting of money.

5. IN FRONT OF HEEL
Laid back, reticent kind of person. Also a bit shy.

6. INSIDE HEEL
Person who is inclined to me materialistic but never quite achieves what they desire.

7. HEEL TIP
Determined, firm people who know where they are going.

If your shoes squeak it is said that you haven’t paid for them yet! Maybe you bought them on credit card."

90% of the wear is on the ball of the foot, or behind the toes, due to parkour.

Yeah, makes sense, parkour would mean you're balancing there alot. And the other 10%?

Behind the toes, heel tip are the most obvious.
But I do have a decent amount of wear in front of the heel

It's interesting, I was reading some lady's view on 'soleology' XD, and she was saying that someone who wears Converse is "an independent thinker. He's the artist type."

If they know that - most ppl I talk to don't know about the fall of Converse. :| But the original style & look are the thing I meant, rather than the current maker. Most ppl don't keep up on company fortunes, and yeah, I agree, Nike as a company have used bad business and child labour in the past and like most companies are only in it for the money.

I'd say that if folk wear them to appear a certain way to others and not just their own personal taste it's not saying much about them. But that's true of anything.
