Shoes: A Guy’s Perspective

April 21, 2008 · 20 Comments

Rawbean has asked other bloggers to photograph and upload their shoe collection for the whole world to see. I know at least one other blogger has partaken in this activity, Sarebeth.

As I’ve written before, I don’t understand why women love their shoes so much. Guys don’t look down there, we look at a woman’s chest, maybe her face, and probably her butt once or twice. Ladies, we guys don’t look at yer feet.

But far be it from me not to try to have a little fun and please the ladies. I’ve taken some quick shots of my shoes.

nice shoes 2
These are my “nicer” shoes. I probably should have polished them a bit, but it’s not like I’m wearing them tomorrow. After the photographs were taken, back into the closest they went. Notice they are pretty simple and black. Thems is man shoes.

work shoes 2
These are my work shoes. They’re meant for working. Like man work. Notice the dried mud on the beaten down running shoes and the salt stains on the steel-toed boots.

puma suede red
These are my red Pumas. I like them. They’re red.

puma suede brown
Brown Pumas. Not as red as the red ones. But they go nice with a pair of khakis.

nike 2
These are my regular hanging out with my friends shoes. Plain Nike running shoes.

all shoes 2
And here’s the whole lot. So there you have it, a normal guys shoe collection.

    And some guys are weird and look at womens’ shoes…not like I want to attract the weirdos or anything.

    I’m diggin the first set …. but seriously….are those all of your shoes?? I’m not sure I can fit all of mine in one frame, but i’ll try :)

    I LOVE your sneakers!!!! Love the Pumas especially. I didn’t see that coming, good work.

    Why do guys assume that women pick their shoes with the opposite sex solely in mind? What if women like shoes…. because they like shoes? (I’m SO not a shoe person)

    Nice collection though. I’m feelin the red Pumas.

    Maxie - so you don’t want to attract weirdos, but you do it so well.

    Miss Ash - how many shoes do I need? I’ve only got the two feet.

    Rawbean - I’ve got thank my buddy Juice for the Pumas. He did the leg work for those pairs. It’s hard to find nice Pumas in Toronto.

    Jillian - Read the chapter called Death by Feet

    Yep they certainly are shoes. Nice footwear.

  • Dan // April 22, 2008 at 9:57 am

    Wow, you have like 6 more pairs of shoes than I do. Well, maybe I have 2 pairs, but I only really wear one. Ever.

  • sarebeth // April 22, 2008 at 10:43 am

    Atta boy, those red ones are right on!

  • whatigotsofar // April 22, 2008 at 10:48 am

    wiwille - Maybe I should take Rawbean’s idea of posting shoes to the next level and post photos of all my underwear. On second thought, no.

    Dan - Chances are, I’ll buy another pair this summer. Make it an even 8 pairs.

    Sarebeth - I know, those are my favourite shoes.

  • Shae // April 22, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    Pretty in red! :D

  • aurora // April 22, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    Maybe you *see* women’s shoes in the way that you see commercials you’re not paying attention to… (I’m always a fan of conspiracy theories when they involve shoes.)

  • Random Chick // April 22, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    Oooo, you have nice shoes. And women buy shoes NOT to impress men but to have more shoes. We don’t care what you look at as long as we can have our shoes…

    Hey, home come you don’t visit my blog anymore…was it something I said?

  • grace // April 22, 2008 at 5:16 pm

    Very nice… not many there, but still a good bunch.

    I would do this but it would require too much cleaning and shining and all that fun stuff, which I refuse to do until I put on the pair.

  • whatigotsofar // April 22, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    Shae - pretty??? Guys ain’t pretty.

    Aurora - Did you know that every American president who was shot to death was wearing Nikes at the time? Reagan who survived an assassin’s bullet was wearing Adidas.

    Random - I’ve been reading, just not commenting. I just can’t think of anything funny to write.

    Grace - I think too many. I don’t need 4 pairs of running shoes.

  • Random Chick // April 22, 2008 at 7:19 pm

    You don’t have to write anything funny….did you SEE my post on Monday? That was so NOT funny!

  • Sparkling Red // April 23, 2008 at 2:10 pm

    I got the pictures to load. I’m loving the Pumas, both colours. Jazzy Red and Laid-Back Brown.

  • whatigotsofar // April 23, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    Random Chick - I need to be funny. Even if the post isn’t funny, I need to inject humour into it. If I can’t, I explode with a barrage of insensitive remarks. Or I just yell “CUNT!” Do you really want me to leave comments of “cunt” on your blog. I don’t think so. I’m sure you’re a wonderful person and not at all a cheap floozy, but you know the old saying “If you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

    Spark - I seem to be getting a positive respone from the ladies on my Pumas. Hmmm… The hamster’s on the little wheel and he’s runnin’. Boy is he ever runnin’.

  • helloblog // April 23, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    Your trainers (or sneakers) are nice.
