Over time, fashion has proved an overwhelming amount of change, especially in shoes. Within society, there is a dominant influence that fashion has when defining our worth. It has been this way for centuries. Though in public, we may not always dress to our fullest potential. Outfits are most definitely judged and perceived by anyone who sees them. Whether shoes are shiny and clean, or dirty and ragged, they all convey a certain message to our peers.
“If they wear Yeezy Slides, they are the most annoying person on the planet,” Nicole Atieku, Stafford High School Junior, vocalized. “If I ever met someone and saw them wearing yeezy slides, I would steer clear. Those shoes are musty as h*ll,” Kristen Willoughby, sophomore at Stafford high school said. “Those yeezy slides are icky if you wear them you are definitely straight,” Nicole Atieku added.
An outfit in an introduction is crucial to tell someone’s approachability. Some outfits lack color, or style, but others carry too much. Some show the trial and errors of hardship or the hardly-scratched life of the privileged. Though dictating an entire personality based on shoes is unreliable, it is surely a thought that lingers in someone’s mind when introduced.
“Definitely a basic White girl,” says junior at Stafford High School, Kat Dragovich-Clark. “Dirty Air Forces means you’re a white girl,” Nicole Atieku adds. “If there were a red flag in shoes it would be those busted a** converse,” says senior at Stafford High School, Alyson Wilson.
Though some people at Stafford High School could care less about who’s wearing what. “I don’t get why people care so much about what was made solely to protect your feet,” 10th grader, Hailey Argureta, at Stafford High School said.
The countless opinions on what we wear on our feet is always changing. Throughout the years we have seen the opinions used in good and bad ways. Through bullying, and admiration, shoes are a good topic for introduction.
