Shoes are often an outfit’s focal point. Whether or not you want them to be, they’re statements about your aesthetics, personality, disposition and, at times, income. Since you can tell a lot about a person from their shoes, a good pair is your most important accessory — so stock up and lace up (or slip on) the right way.
