These Shoes Were Made For Ogling!

I gave my boyfriend a hard time for having expensive shoes, only to be told that, according to GQ magazine, a man's shoes are one of the first things a woman notices. Really? It's certainly not true for me. I couldn't tell a Florsheim from an Allan Edmunds. And yes, I had to ask him for that info. That's how clueless I am. I am also, needless to say, not very well-heeled.

So I was stunned recently when I went to meet him at the train station. He texted me that he was already there, but I didn't see him anywhere. Since he's in a wheelchair, I went to look by the elevator. Not there. I approached the station attendant, about to ask if she'd seen him.

"I'm looking for my friend..." I began.

"Brown shoes?" she interrupted.

Not the guy in the wheelchair? Red coat? Dark hair? No, he was the guy with the brown shoes.

I stared at her, thinking how the heck do I know what shoes he's wearing?

Now I simply have to know. Ladies, do you really notice shoes? Please respond! Meanwhile, I stand corrected. In very average shoes.
