What shoe fits you?

Another cool Emode test:

I thought I'd get the Warm Fuzzy Slipper, but got fitted with the Comfort Clog instead:

Pass that cup of Chai and hand over a thick ol' cafe brownie. You're as laid back as a Comfort Clog. Whether shuffling around the house looking for home improvement projects or hooking up with friends for spur of the moment plans, you're pretty easygoing. Because you're so receptive to last-second engagements, people tend to keep you on their A-listsÑeven when you haven't seen them in a while. Sometimes you might prefer to keep your social options openÑno need to commit too early. But that's not to say you lean toward indecision (except when you're confronted with a large menu at your favorite restaurant). All in all, you're happy to approach life with a firm step. You just don't want life to be too firm with you.

Oh so totally me

-- all I wear are practical pumps. Not so much the "always look put together, would not try the chunky heel/spaghetti strap camisole look -- ick!

Practical Pump

Skim latte and 20 minutes of that morning show: this sounds like how you might start your days if you're a Practical Pump. Maybe it's that you're the kind of person who looks put together—whether in jeans, an ultrahip suit, or a drop-dead dress. Or perhaps it's just that when you look good, you project a stronger sense of who you are. People take your ideas more seriously and think of you as a leader when it comes to everything from the boardroom to the barstool. You can be independent without being Gloria Steinem. Even in a chunky heel you can pull off a delicate spaghetti strap camisole with no problem. So straight-laced isn't necessarily your MO. You make that perfectly clear when you're feeling a little devilish. Whatever your take on looks and life, it's very clear that you never go out of style.

So far, the most accurate emode test results!

Finn, today you should slip into a pair of Crazy Crosstrainers!

The snap of a twig, the swish of tall grass, the crunch of loose gravel during a pickup game of b-ball. Those are the calls of the wild that lure you from your easy chair and make you most like a Crazy Crosstrainer. Whether gearing up for an urban walk, a trail run, or a hike with the dog you wish you had, getting out of the house is at the top of your list. You know what you like and go for it 'til you get it right (which could partly explain your eccentric obsessions—whether outdoor gear, travel books, or photography equipment). And on those rare occasions when things don't go your way the first time 'round, your competitive edge drives you to work harder and raise the bar for your own benefit. People envy your natural know-how and get-up-and-go—probably because your appreciation of crisp skylines at sunset or the constellations on a clear night helps you levitate over the daily challenges that drive most people mad.

Wow. Dead on this time!

Chic Urban Shoe

That's right, girlie, when the sun goes down and the lights burn bright, you're as hip as they come. Style is important to you because you're always walking in new directions—which is why you're like a Chic Urban Shoe. You've got no worries when new things and people come your way. When you're in the mood, you know how to seek out what you need—at work or at play. Your friends tend to share your passion for eccentric accessories. You enjoy keeping up with fashion, and you're not afraid to start some of your own. Convention sometimes bores you—unless of course, it's bucking the trend of the time. And though sometimes you might listen to Top 40 music and flip through home decor catalogs, we know your heart is in the right place—the funky center of the city.

Yep. I'm a crazy crosstrainer.

Did you have any doubts?

Easygoing Flip-flop

Ahh, whether reclining poolside with a frosty iced tea or making the Sunday rounds at the neighborhood brunch spot, you're one of the lucky ones. You're like an Easygoing Flip-Flop. You exude a sense of comfort, style, and calm that rubs off on those around you. Sure, you do a good job at work, but when it's time to play, you play (or unwind) hard. People look to you to add color at any social gathering. In short, you mix well with others and don't mind taking it slow to get to the heart of matters. Racing ahead is for other people.

actually, I love wearing sandles-not necessarly flip-flops but I hate wearing shoes that inclose my feet so this is pretty acurate-

I drove my last boss nuts wearing sandles with socks during the winter-of course I was pregnant at the time and he didn't dare tell me I couldn't :p so I got away with it hee hee

Clogs?? No, that isn't me at all.

**pluckyduck** · #9 10-12-2001, 09:22 PM

Emode failed me (first time).

CLOGS????

Don't they know that clogs make my feet look too big? Besides, DH accuses me of clomping around in my sneakers, can you imagine clogs????

Hrrummph. I musta knocked myself out of the crosstrainers by saying that shopping was the best thing that happened from the internet.

Well. It is.

Andrea
off to shop for crosstrainers!

KateTPZ · #10 10-12-2001, 11:08 PM

Practical Pumps? Me?! That's not me at all - I don't even own any practical pumps! "Put together?" Someone else must have been channeled through me while my fingers took the test!

That wasn't it, Andrea. You certainly know that I answered that question the same way.

I do not like practical pumps. I do not wear practical pumps. I wear tennis shoes. And sometimes boots.

I am not a practical pump.

Jeez. Even my shoes are boring.

Busted. At least they didn't come out and say Scuffed Wingtips.

Plain old cup o' joe and headlines go well with your morning muffin when you're like a Dress Oxford. You shine in just about any setting—business or casual—and people trust you like a hearty handshake. Whether transitioning from power lunches to happy hours, people expect to see the likes of you at both. You're often thought of as steady and dependable, but that doesn't mean you're infallible. Still when it comes time to mending social fences or conceding minor setbacks at work or at home, you at least try to tie up the ends of your life instead of leaving them dangling. As for how people view you, suffice it to say, there are plenty of folks who wish they could walk in your shoes—if only for a day.

I think I'm failing all of these quizzes! This time I got crosstrainers. I'm really more clogs. Maybe I'm just lying to myself when I answer. I'll need to try more quizzes.
