Do you live in your worn-out Converse? This may reveal your age, income, sex and what kind of girlfriend or boyfriend you are, according to a new study. After reviewing photos of boots, flip-flops, lace-ups, loafers, sandals and sneakers -- the most common type of shoe submitted in the study -- people were best at figuring out a person's age, sex and income, the "Today" show reports.
"Age, gender, and income are usually pretty 'visible" characteristics [from shoes], so it's not surprising that observers picked up on them," study researcher Dr. Angela Bahns, an assistant professor of psychology at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass., told "Today."
But researchers were surprised that study participants could also guess whether a person had "attachment anxiety" based on his or her footwear, meaning, how worried a person is that his or her close relationships will abandon them. How can you tell if someone is a clingy girlfriend based on what kind of sneakers she is wearing? Shoe upkeep (or lack thereof) may reveal if you are laid back or more of the nervous type. Something to keep in mind next time you polish your shoes!

How banal.
If you meant that as an insult, it sorely failed, congratulations.
I say what I say realistically and matter of fact, not meant to make people laugh or cry.
I don't know why you had to write a speel about what my personality is, you don't even know me to make assumptions?
This is what they look like -

I prefer to call them Chuck Taylors
Louis Vuitton Dons
Air Force Ones
Plus four others, one for every day of the week. I LOVE it when Foot Locker has a sale because you know I can't afford them full price lol
