Judgy-wudgy

Handbag.com has suggestions for footwear-based analysis of the men in your life. Or perhaps the men you wish were in your life?
Doc Martens: He's in a band. Or he used to be in a band. Or he thinks a lot about bands. If you like music, you could have a lot of fun with this guy.

/If you like music/? Because there are people who don't like music? (Sidebar: Look at us! We formed a band!)
Bowling shoes: A favourite of Generation X intelligentsia, these show off a man's hip quotient. The wearer will be self-deprecating, funny, clever and knowledgeable about pop culture. He could make a good boyfriend, if you don't mind an underemployed intellectual who never has enough money to take you to dinner.

I had higher hopes for this column, but if you get to the end, you'll realize she's just flogging a book with a little old fashioned sexism. Or reverse sexism. Or both.

  • Shocked at the oversimplification! Shocked! What if said man owns both the Docs and the Bowling Shoes? And doesn't this call into question said man's concern for personal safety? Aren't Doc Martens about as safe as they come? And aren't Bowling Shoes a recipe for disater on a parquet floor or an Arctic Ice Sheet?

  • All good questions. I'm confident I know at least one man who owns Doc Martens and bowling shoes.
