I can't recall ever spending much time paying attention to a man's shoes. Generally the first detail I look at on a man is his hands. Dunno why I find a man's hands so sexy, but by golly I do.

Eyes first, then I might glance at the shoes. Just kidding!

Shoes are a great hidden indicator of a man's lifestyle and wealth. Men do not realize that while they worry about if they have a Rolex on their wrist it is the shoes that give them away.

Several of my long time ATF's have told me this, also hands.

Sneakers are the last thing they want to see.  Well made casual shoes like loafers or good sandles in the summer seem to be favored.

As for the hands, they look to see if they are rough or smooth to know whether the guy has an office or a blue collar type job.

That's so old fashioned!

To think that most women check out a guy's shoes or watch (another myth) is just plain old fashioned IMO!  I would never notice either unless they were completely inappropriate for the situation eg open sandals on a cold winter day.

I don't have one thing I always notice first, it depends on the man.  It could be his hair if it's long and dark, his smile if it lights up his face, his eyes if they are big and brown or any colour and filled with sparkle and promise.  If he's toned and pretty hunky then it would be his arms.

I guess an attractive smile is the best feature anybody can have
