I notice them. Almost the first thing I notice about a person is their shoes. Then, their hands. I've told people this before and they tease me about it, but it's true. Boys with soft, well-manicured hands are a turn-off. I much prefer a man with rougher hands - it says to me he is a worker and is mechanically inclined and that's hot. (It might not be a correct assumption, but how many first impressions really are correct?) My husband also teases me about the number of pairs of black shoes I have. There are many. But on the rare occasion that he helps me plan out an outfit, he's even more picky than I am about which shoes to wear. Shoes can make or break the outfit. Jeans and runners or jeans and stilettos will tell completely different stories. I have to agree with you about the shoes and hands. I notice them.
