You may think that the eyes are the window to the soul but actually one of the best way to tell a man’s personality and preferences is by looking at his shoes! First impressions are the biggest impressions and we perceive others through non-verbal communication, where footwear certainly points the way to showcasing a man’s moral character. Whether the occasion is a date, a wedding or a job interview, High & Mighty ( located in Fore Street) take a look at what his footwork says about him.

THE BOAT SHOES MAN
This gentleman enjoys shopping and likes to put effort into his outfit. You can find him in the accessories section of the shop looking at man bags and designer sunglasses. Likely to wear his shoes with tailored shorts and a polo shirt, this high maintenance chap likes to flaunt his cool, casual style particularly in the summertime. Tommy Hilfiger Boat Shoes £130.00

THE FLIP FLOPS MAN

He may be a holiday-maker, surfer or a happy hippy; with these laid-back shoes on, this dude tells us he is super chilled out. Comfort is the most important factor when it comes to wardrobe so don’t be surprised to see him in a baggy tee and loose fit jeans. You say unfashionable, he says practical. Polo Ralph Lauren Sullivan Flip Flop £55.00.

THE COMFY SNEAKERS MAN

Be it an owner of Vans or scruffy Converses, this sneaker lover is probably a kid at heart who doesn’t take himself too seriously. Though hard to judge because almost every man owns trainers, men who wear them to work, give a lot away. Like his footwear, he is understated, complimentary and affable.Converse Hi Top Trainers £50.00.

THE SMART SHOES MAN

This type of footwear signals a dapper gentleman. He wears this shoe with confidence to complement a suit which means business and he’s a sharp dresser and a sharp negotiator. It’s likely he’s a high earner, intelligent and appreciates the finer things. Authoritative by appearance, but he might just as well be a softy at heart. Bonus points for polished brogues and spotless suedes! Tredflex Lace Up Brogue £75.00

THE DESERT BOOT MAN

He channels the mod look and does so well. You can find him in rolled up slim fit jeans, visible patterned socks and a vintage shirt. He has a versatile approach to fashion but his desert boots are staple to his wardrobe. You either love him or hate him, but you can’t deny the hipster man is pretty cool and likes to look effortlessly stylish.Kayak Desert Boot, £45.00.

THE CHELSEA BOOT MAN

Charming and confident, this smooth talking gentleman loves a bright chino to go with his chelsea boots. He knows how to show the ladies a good time and still be the man to take home to meet the parents. He bears a cashmere sweater, is irresistibly old-fashioned and exuberates alpha-male power with a rock n roll edge.Ikon Chelsea Boot £60.00
