RESULTS – What Kind of Shoe Are You?

Mostly A’s – Old faithful hiking boots and reliable trainers

You’re an explorer through and through, and your footwear needs to match! Reliable, adventurous, and grounded, you thrive in nature and aren’t afraid to take the road less travelled. You value function over flash but still have a rugged sense of style.

You’re the go-to friend in a crisis and always prepared, which is why we think Skechers would be the perfect brand for you. From light weight comfortable trainers including the Ultra Flex to High Ryze Street Stompers, you’ll be sure to find a new pair of old faithful to join you on your adventures.

Mostly B’s – High Heels

You’re bold, glamorous, and love to stand out. Whether it’s a heel or a power pose, you know how to command a room. You’re ambitious, stylish, and confident. High heels match your style and fierce energy, which is why we think Fenwick would be a great place to find this season’s stopping heels, including brands like Kurt Geiger and Dune. Plus, John Lewis & Partners has a huge selection of heeled shoes, including court shoes, and this season’s have slingback style.

Mostly C’s – Flip-Flops or Sandals

You are easy-going, sun-loving, and free-spirited; you embrace life’s breezy side. People feel relaxed around you, and you bring calm to chaotic spaces. You’re spontaneous, travel-ready, and all about living in the moment, which is why we think schuh and NEXT would be the perfect places for you to find your sole shoe. From Havaianas to Birkenstock and Crocs at schuh to stylish leather sandals, including Gold Forever Comfort Leather Slip-on-Weave-Mules and boat-ride worthy loafers at NEXT, there’s something for everyone.

Mostly D’s – Ballet Flats

You’re thoughtful, classic, and quietly confident kin, and your kindness and grace speak volumes. Ballet flats suit your reliable, nurturing nature, and you bring comfort and charm to everyone around you, which is why we think that in the press, Ubree ballet pumps from Clarks, Ballet Pumps from Charles Clinkard or New Look would be great for you to explore.
