Ladies, stick with sneakers: Wedges voted least attractive footwear trend by men

Pippa Middleton may be one of a host of  celebrities who is barely seen in public without them, but wedges are the shoes  that men most hate on women, according to a new survey.

The study, by CouponCodes4u.com, found that  the chunky-bottomed strap up ranked number one as the ‘least attractive shoe  trend’ in men’s eyes.

The discount provider asked 2,103 men how they feel about their partner’s  footwear collection, and 59 per cent said they thought she had bad taste in  shoes.

Like it or pump it: Pippa Middleton and Halle Berry are  both big fans of the wedge shoe… but men aren’t so sure

Those taking part were  asked questions related to their opinions of their partner’s style, particularly  when it came to footwear.

And in news that may come  as a surprise to women across the country, 79 per cent said they actually pay  attention to what the girlfriends or wives wear on their feet.

Twelve per cent said they  only noticed ‘sometimes’.

Five per cent admitted it  depended on the event and situation. Furthermore, only 41 per cent of men said  that their partner had good taste when it came to personal shoe style, while 59  per cent disagreed.

When asked whether or not they considered  women to be more attractive if they wore ‘attractive shoes’, the majority, 93  per cent, said ‘yes’ they were, while 64 per cent of respondents also claimed  they personally purchased shoe styles they liked for their partner.

Mark Pearson, Chairman of CouponCodes4u.com,  said: ‘While we all know that women love to shop for the latest shoes trends, we  wanted to know whether or not men love these shoes styles too and if they  personally pick out shoes for their partner.

‘Surprisingly, the men that took part in the  poll were very vocal on the type of styles they preferred and what they deemed  were a turn off when it came to shoes.

‘A firm favorite with Catherine, Duchess of  Cambridge and Pippa, it seems that wedges were not a hit with men earning over  half of the ‘unattractive shoe style’ vote.

‘Who knows, maybe you will find that your man  is actually very helpful when it comes to being fashionable.’
