Check His Footwork: What His Shoes Say About Him

Loafer: If his name isn’t Church Boy from the Five Heartbeats or if he ain’t Bobby Brown making Every Little Step I Take Part 2, then he is probably a playboy.  Loafers, slip-ons, moccasins or boat shoes are a man’s universal way of presenting an image of luxury and wealth – even if his pockets don’t match.  However, a loafer guy can be lots of fun, if you are just looking for a “buddy” to kick it with sometimes.  First, he is always on the cutting edge of hip, so you’ll always have a good shopping buddy.  And you won’t find this dude sitting in front of the TV watching Sports Center. No, loafer guy is probably off sipping Chai tea while he thumbs through magazines like Esquire and GQ. He is the type of guy that admires Kanye West for his style more so than his music.  Likewise being successful is at the top of his agenda. Loafer guy is the type that will call you in advance to find out what you are wearing and then show up at your doorstep with a matching, or complimentary pair of slip-ons.  Then he will take you to the best restaurants, the best parties and the best hotel rooms for a whirlwind of hot, successful fun. But don’t expect anything long-term with him. Everything in loafer guy’s life is upgradable – and that includes you too.

One caveat: If they are spit shined loafers in neutral color like all black and brown but very expensive looking, odds are he is a lawyer, a corporate accountant or a mid-level executive. However, I still wouldn’t expect anything long-term, unless you like men, who will never be home and believe that lavishing you with gifts is how love is shown. If so, just be a mistress. It’s much more fun.
