Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.

“Shoes convey a thin but useful piece of information about their wearer,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues(非語言暗示) with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”

Medical Daily notes that the detailed personality information detected in the study includes a person’s general age, gender, income, political ideas, and other personality, including someone’s emotional stability.

Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 students from The University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

Some of the results were expected: people with higher income most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people.

However，some results are funny and interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with “aggressive” personality. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personality.

The researchers noted that some people would choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality information，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personality.
