They say that you can tell a lot about a person based on the shoes that they are wearing, if this is true then surely you would want your shoes to make a good first impression. Here are some suggestions of what to look for in a shoe to ensure that your footwear doesn't let you down before you even open your mouth. <br/><br/> You Are What You Wear… <br/><br/> If you were to turn up for a job interview wearing a sharp suit and a pair of tatty old trainers then you would be very unlikely to get the job. You might wonder why your choice of footwear would affect your chances in an interview. This is because people associate your footwear with your personality. If you are happy to wear tatty trainers on a formal occasion then you will come across as being untidy, lazy, having a lack of foresight and a poor decision maker. All of these negative qualities will fill the unconscious mind of the potential employer. <br/><br/> So what are the right shoes to wear to impress? <br/><br/> Being able to adapt to the situation you are in, the activity you are taking part in and the company you are in is important as wearing your fanciest pair of shoes all of the time can also create a negative impression. If you were to wear a pair of black shoes that are designed to accompany suits and formal clothes to a games of tennis or to meet friends in the park then you would be viewed by others as being slightly odd and having a poor dress sense. You must ensure that you strike the right balance between style, comfort and utility. Knowing the right shoe for the occasion is vital. Here are some tips on what to wear when faced with different scenarios. <br/><br/> Work/Formal Occasion <br/><br/> Dark colours are always better in this scenario as it looks more professional. You will want to wear leather shoes or boots that are reasonably comfortable. They will need to be durable as you will most likely be wearing them every day in work and therefore they will be taking a lot of wear and tear. <br/><br/> First Date <br/><br/> The correct shoe to wear on a first date depends largely on the occasion. If you are going to the cinema, a walk in the park or bowling for example then a pair of smart trainers is the best choice as you want to be comfortable and mobile while still looking the part. If you are going out for a meal then a pair of suede or leather material boots such as Dr Martens boots or Fly London shoes would fit the bill. <br/><br/>
