Men’s Shoes That Women LOVE & HATE | Girls React

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. I'm Courtney Ryan and today I've brought together six women to share their thoughts on men's footwear. From casual sneakers to dress shoes, they'll be reacting to different styles and rating them as either hot or not. If you've ever wondered how much your shoe game impacts your overall look and what women really think about it, this is the video for you. And since everyone has different preferences, hearing a variety of opinions can be super helpful. Okay, so I'm going to show you these shoes and you're going to tell me if they're hot, not, or they're just okay. Now, try to save those just okays for the ones that you truly do not know. Try to really pick hot or not, if you can. Okay. Okay, number one, we have Chuck Taylors. I think those are hot. Yeah, they're a classic. I think these are just okay. They're not my favorite. I think that they are a little bit basic. I think you can dress it up, but again, I'm pretty indifferent. I think it's hot. Those are hot. I have a lot of those. So, what kind of match your style if a guy wore them? Yeah, yeah, definitely hot, yeah. Just a basic shoe. Hot. It's kind of like fun and it's actually, I like those shoes, it's comfortable for me. So, for the man, I would say he's a little bit like chill or something like that if he's wear that. Yeah, hot. I'd say hot. I like Converse. I personally just like Converse because they, I just like the style of them. Specifically, a white shoe, I think pops and looks nice with the typical jeans or darker pants. So, would you maybe feel different if these were a different color? Yeah, I think black would maybe give more of a goth vibe a little bit. So, you're liking the white the best? I like the white, yeah. Next, we have Birkenstocks. Hot if their toenails are taken care of. So, if you have long toenails, you can not wear these, correct? I'm going to say not. Okay. I'm picturing them barefoot and sometimes feet. I feel like they're weird. But Birkenstocks themselves, I like, but I think they need to be styled right. So, I'm just going to go with not because if the guy doesn't know how to style them, it could go bad. Right. There's more opportunity for it to go wrong than right. Yes. I say not. I'm not really a fan. I don't know. You don't like these? What don't you like about them? Um, I don't know. They don't really look, like, well put together. I just don't like the open-toed shoes that much in my opinion. Birkenstocks depend on the time and the location and the weather and what everyone else's attire. You know, that's a cool, if you're in Hawaii. But, you know what? Actually, low-heat, just kidding, I take it back. Because I would rather men wear these Birkenstocks than actual, like, flip-flops. Okay, so these are better than flip-flops to you? Yes, 100%. So, these are okay. Okay. With the right outfit, like, in the summertime setting, a warm place. Okay. Yeah. But if you're, like, wearing them in winter with jeans, which I've seen men wearing them in jeans in the winter with no socks, I've seen it. I've seen it all. It's not, yeah, there's a time and place for them. Okay, that's fair. Not hot. Why not? I don't know. I kind of, I would not really want to see the toys, toes, whatever, fingers. Not hot. I think this would fall under the hot category. I think it's really fun to wear in the summer, maybe with, like, a linen pant and a cute loose t-shirt. I think that they are really effortless and nice. What about the Oxford dress shoe? Ooh, I would say yes. I would say yes. I think those look really nice with, like, dress pants, and they, I think, maybe bring up the elegance of an outfit. So, I would say hot. I think these would fall under either the hot or just okay category. I am in the corporate setting, in professional space, and I think it's really nice when people are put together and dressed up. But then again, I know that not everyone is going to have an occasion to wear these two, so I think that really just depends. But if someone is going to wear them, I do think it's attractive. Those are nice. I like those. You like when a man gets dressed up a little bit? Those are hot. Yeah, if it goes with the rest of the fit. So, if they're, like, more dressed up, looking polished. Yeah, then I would love that. Hot. Okay, what about a lace-up boot? I like the look of boots because it kind of gives an outdoorsy vibe. And these ones are a little bit more elegant, fancy than that, but I like them. I would say hot. I like those. Those are nice. We're going to give those the hot? Those are a little on the girly side, maybe, for me. Okay. But they're still hot. Yeah, they're still, like, sleepy. I don't know. Yeah, hot. King? Yes. I like those. Not hot. Why? They're kind of making me feel like he's a teacher or something. I don't know. Like, not hot. Not hot? Okay. Hot if you're wearing it with jeans. Okay. If they're wearing that with, like, sweatpants, you're going to say no? No, yeah. I would say that this can look cute in the fall, but it's personally not my favorite, so probably just the okay category. What about hey dudes? I like this. Very beachy. I think that not every guy can pull them off. They can easily be, like, just, like, the shoe that you throw on because you felt lazy. So I would say not, because I think it's really dependent on the context of how they're worn. I would say this is in the not hot category. I think they just give a connotation that you don't have a ton of style. But then again, this is me not trying to be a hater. If you really like them and if you're comfortable in them, please wear them. I personally don't think that they're that cute, though. Have you seen the commercials with Sidney Sweeney promoting these? I did. I did see them. And then I checked out the comments and everyone was like, how much are they paying you? And I did get a good laugh. And again, some people like them, and I think that they're okay. But I just don't think that they pair well with a lot of clothing. But again, a rule of fashion is if you love it, that's what matters most. But I don't think that they're that great. Not. Actually, yeah. I like those. You do? I've seen them in person and they're not that bad, actually. Okay. So you think they look better in person than maybe online? Yeah. And I actually think they look cozy and, like, men seem like they, like, enjoy wearing them. Okay. So I actually, I would say yes. So if it makes the guy feel comfortable, do you think it would depend what he's wearing it with? For these shoes? Yeah. Yeah, definitely. This is like a, you have to have, like, a whole fit for this, definitely. Like, more of a casual outfit? Yeah. No. Not hot. What don't you like about them? Everything. The color. I don't like the color. I don't like the form. It's kind of like, for me, that's kind of shoes saying I don't have the character. Okay. So you're thinking this guy is not the best, just seeing these shoes? No, I mean, like, he probably would be not decide where we're going to go on a date. So, you know what I'm saying? Yes. I would be probably decide everything by my own. What about a penny loafer? I love these and I think they're super versatile for women too. I like to wear them a lot. I think it's really nice with either a jean or if I'm more dressed up. I would say this falls under the hot category. On girls. They're cute. I'll say no to that. That's a no. Okay. Not your style. Yeah. What kind of guy wears these? The attorney. That would make me lose in the courtroom. Looks like she's got a little PTSD. Yeah. Probably. I don't know. Who else would wear those? I see what you mean. Someone who's very polished, put together. Yeah. An attorney. A banker. Okay. Yeah. I'm getting very banker vibes. Professional vibes. I like them. I don't think I'm a fan of them. The way it exposes your foot. I don't know. I'm not an expert, but maybe there's guys that are good at pulling these off. But when I look at this shoe, I'm like, no. What kind of guy do you think would wear these? Just looking at them. Maybe, like, stereotypically someone that goes to, like, golf, high-end, preppy type events. Like a country club? Country club. That's the word I was looking for. So, like, they look a little more elevated, polished. Yeah. Fancy. Yeah. Exactly that one. Hot. Okay. What would make it not hot? Like, I don't like the loafers at all. But they look better than teacher's boots. So, for me, that's fine. It's hot. Not. No, I think they're too out of style. Too old. Okay, so you're 22. Yeah. Okay, so you're thinking, like, if a 22-year-old was wearing those, it might be kind of odd. Yeah. Do you think they'd be more attractive on, like, an older guy? I do think so. Yeah, if you're, like, in your 50s, I think that'd be cool. What about Chelsea boots? I'm not really a fan. I feel like they look a bit feminine, in my opinion. Like the silhouette of them? Yeah. And then, do you like the smooth leather better, or the suede? Like, is the suede any better than the other one? No, I like the smooth better. The smooth better? Yeah. Okay. Yes. Hot. Okay. Do you like the smooth leather better, or the suede? I like that one better. Suede? Yeah. I think that it used to be in style a few years back. I think they're going out a little bit, so I would say just the okay category. Okay. And then, do you have any preference between, like, a smooth leather like this one, or like a suede? Oh, that's such a good question. I'd probably say this one. I don't think the glossier look is as attractive. I think that this one has a little bit more character. Not. I think they're a bit too feminine. Okay. Do you feel any different about a suede version? No. Both? You're feeling the same way about both? Yeah. I like these. I think they're simple, and they are dressier, so they make an outfit look polished. And I actually probably like them maybe a little bit more than the lace-up ones, but I would say hot. And do you like the suede better, or the other ones better? I think I like the other ones better. The smooth leather? Yeah, the smooth. Something about the suede, I'm not... They're not bad, but I don't know. I just like the leather ones better. Personally, I've seen most of my gay male friends wear these. So, yeah, I would say they're attractive shoes, but I wouldn't want my man to wear these. But they're still, like, it's a nice shoe. It's still hot. But I would be questioning, like... So they're a little feminine to you? Yeah. Okay. But they're not ugly shoes. Right. They don't break your outfit. Right. Yeah. So maybe just okay. Yeah. These are like a just okay. And then what about the suede version? Do you have a preference between the suede or the smooth? I actually like those a little better. The suede? Yeah. They kind of look like a male version of an UGG. They do, kind of. Yeah. I kind of like that. All right. Those are hot. Okay. So we prefer the suede over the smooth. Okay. What about a white sneaker? I think those are hot. Yeah. They can go with anything. Oh, I love white sneakers. Girls and guys on any, like, they're my favorite. So hot. I like those. They're pretty basic, but in style. I do love a plain white shoe. It does look nice. Goes with a lot of things. Yeah. It just, it looks nice. Yeah. It's hard to keep them polished, you know? Yeah. So when someone has a nice white shoe, I'm like, I know, you have probably 20 pairs, because you learn over the years. It's a good one. So if you saw a guy with a really clean pair of white shoes, you would think, okay, this guy takes care of his stuff. He, you know, has an attention to detail that I like. Yes. I think that he would be more on the clean side. Like, his house would be more clean. His life would be, you know, more put together. It's fine. But I like, for me, my personal taste, it's like kind of immature. Like, when you also, like, close to 16, you're like, for a girl to have the white shoes, it's fine. But for the men, I think, I will stick better in a Converse than just the white. What's your favorite kind of sneaker that men wear? I like something, I like Converses. I don't know. Nikes. Oh, Nike. Like, Nike sports shoes. Like, no Adidas for me. It's my own, like, I don't know if I would see the person in the Adidas Converse, oh my god, Superstar Adidas. I would, I don't know, just for me, like, to the picture. So you like more of an athletic sneaker? I think that this is a great choice. I like to wear them a lot. I think that you can dress it up a lot. It's very basic, just like the Birkenstock, but you can do a lot with it. And I don't think that you have to always go crazy and, you know, over the top to look really nice. So I would say this falls under the hot category. What about a dress sneaker? I'm not a fan of the holes. Yeah. I don't, yeah, it's like, it's trying too hard. It doesn't want to be dressy. Not. No, they're giving, um, like, high school male teacher. Athletic coach. Yeah. Ooh, I've never seen that before. Um, I don't know how I feel about that. I don't really like the cross between a dress shoe and a sneaker. So we're gonna go with not hot for this one. Um, no. No. That's a hard no. Um, well, what are you trying to be? What? Is this a real shoe? Like, men try these on? Really? A dress sneaker? Um, just wear a dress shoe. Right. So instead of doing, like, the hybrid, just pick one or the other. Yeah, I don't know if I like that. I guess if, like, an older man, like, the dress shoe has, like, the heel, maybe this is, like, a better option, but, like, more comfortable for them. Yeah. If I saw a younger person wearing this, I'd be like, alright, come on. Right. Suffer with the rest of us. Like, our feet hurt for the style. So not a fan of these. No. Not hot. That's a, that's a no. I think that we're mixing, like, two categories that probably shouldn't be mixed. I think that it looks really great if you just go, you know, full sneaker mode if you do want to dress it up. I think it looks really nice. A lot of times I'll see guys wearing sneakers with a suit and I think that looks super cool. I think if it's kind of in between, it looks a little bit odd to me. So I would say this isn't just, this falls under maybe the just okay category for me. What about a dress sneaker? No. What don't you like about it? All? Dress sneaker? I don't know. It's kind of weird. It's kind of you are, like, try to be comfy and, like, daddy at the same time. But it's making me feel awkward. I don't know. It's kind of like, I don't know. The people who's on my taste wear those shoes, they're like close to 60 because they're too much cared about how, how, how see will be step. For their foot. Yeah. Okay. So maybe if you're an older guy, you could wear these. Yeah. But if you're 23, probably not. No, not, not even if you're 40. What about Jordans? All right. They're hot. Yeah. What, what would you want a guy to wear this with? Like, what do you think would be a good outfit with this? You know what? I changed my answer. I think not. Because I think they look really good on girls when they wear leggings. But I don't, I don't think it would look great if a guy wore leggings. So you're having a hard time picturing what a guy would wear with this that would look good? Yeah. I like the shoe. I just can't picture the overall outcome. Maybe, like, a more casual outfit like joggers or something like that? Maybe. All right, fine. Now it's hot. Now that I have a visual aid. I think they are hot because I think it does give more color and more personality than just a white shoe. I think the shoe itself is cool. I think it takes a specific person to pull it off. I don't know. I just, like, stylistically, I think they're cool. So I would say hot, but again, I don't think everyone can pull them off. So you're thinking of, like, a very specific kind of guy wearing these? Maybe, like, a street style? Yes, street style. Yeah, not someone who's trying to be, like, polished like a lot of the other shoes. Definitely more street style. In my taste, it's hot when the Jordans wear the men after 25 and more. Like, it's kind of fine for me. For me, it looks good. But if you are, like, a young boy and you can't actually wear them, but it will be showing to immaturity or something like that for me. And it's also up to the color. That would be, like, kind of purple, pinkish, yellowish, and greenish. I would be like, no. So the color matters? Yeah. Do you like these? Yeah. When I see someone wearing Jordans, I think one of two things. They're a complete sneakerhead and they have a whole room of Jordans to the walls, to the ceiling. Or they're the most destroyed pair of shoes I've ever seen in my life. And that's the only pair of shoes I own. There's no in-between? Yeah, there's no in-between. You know what I mean? You see a nice, crispy shoe or, like, a really beat-up shoe. I think it depends. On the Jordans, it depends. Definitely. A clean shoe, it's a yes. Okay. So it depends on the condition of the shoe and maybe the style of Jordans because there's a ton of different Jordans out there, right? And I'm sure different ones could give off different vibes, depending. Oh, yeah. What do you think a guy should wear with these? Not skinny jeans. What about a suit? Or no? No. Something more casual. Just straight-leg jeans. Yeah, that's fine. Not skinny jeans. Okay. And not a suit. And probably not a suit. They're good. Yeah. I feel like most of the guys that, like, when they wear Jordans, they wear, like, sweatpants or just, like, comfier outfits. I feel like it's not really the best shoe to wear with, like, formal attire. To, like, dress up. Yeah. I personally don't like them that much. I think that a lot of people that are into street wear really like it and I think that they look amazing wearing it. But it probably wouldn't be my go-to shoe. So I would say it's either the hot or just okay category. Okay. What about Crocs? No. Crocs are funny. They're, like, a joke. But if you're being serious, it's not hot. In the river? River. River walking up the river. But other than that, no. Maybe to take out your trash can. That's it. No. Not even? No. They have house slippers for that. Nice. And they're, like, hot pink. Oh my gosh. So it's really not hot. The Crocs are not hot. Not hot at all. And I don't think they're comfortable. No, and they're dangerous. Why? Like, they're like that foam. You stepped on a nail. Oh, yeah. It went straight through your foot. Yeah, that's so true. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, so it's giving only if you're in a stream of water. Yeah, it's, like, literally a foam mold that's, like, $100. It's crazy. Yeah. I don't know how much they are, but yeah. Yeah. They probably jacked up the prices since they got all trendy. Yeah, they're, like, $80, $90, $80. Okay, so it's gonna be a no. Yeah, that's a no. Not. Yeah, especially if you're wearing it with socks. I don't love them. I would say it's more of a lounge shoe. So maybe if you're going to the gym and, like, you're taking, like, your shoes off and you just go there wearing that, that's fine. But if you're wearing it out and about, I probably wouldn't see that as super attractive. So I would say it's in the not hot category. But if you're comfortable, hey, do you. If we will choose the flip-flops in Crocs, I would say hot. But for me, not hot. So if you had to choose between, like, this and flip-flops, you would choose these? Yeah, if you're going, like, to the beach. Like, if you're going, like, whatever, pool, beach, you can wear them. But if you're, like, wearing them on a first date, no. Not hot. I don't really like Crocs. I feel like they're just a little overhyped. So I'd probably give that a no. What about a cowboy boot? Yes. Okay. I love a cowboy boot. I love cowboys. They're so hot. Yes. With the hat and all. Yes. All right. Lexi is a type. Yes. Cowboy, leave a comment. Yes. Cowboys, yes. Do you see a lot of guys wear these in Ohio? Or, like, in Cleveland? I have, actually. Surprisingly, in Cleveland, I have. Like, there's not... It's not far off. Wow. Yeah. Mmm. This is a good one. I... I like a country vibe. Like, the outdoorsy, country style. Again, not everyone. If you're a country person, yes. I'm a fan of cowboy boots. So, again, it takes a certain type of person. Yeah. Like, it's got to be authentic to you and your... Your style. Not... I'm not into the cowboy style. I think these are super hot. I'm not maybe, like, the most, like, into country guys. And I know country guys typically tend to wear these. But I do think that they are... They're hot. So... I feel like in Ohio, you don't necessarily see these that much. You don't. As much. Yeah. But if you go to Nashville, hey, they're everywhere. I'd say no. I would say hot. Okay. Do you see a lot of these in Ohio? Uh... I know the places where men wore those boots, so I would say hot. What about boat shoes? Um... I feel like these are very country club. And I wouldn't say that I'm super drawn to that. I don't think it's bad in a fashion sense. I think that they're great and they look amazing. I'm personally not super drawn to them, so I would say I'm a little indifferent. So it would fall under the just okay category. I think those are hot. Yeah. Do you see a lot of college guys wearing these? Honestly, no. It's more older people. Okay. See, when I was in college, like, all the frat bros would wear these. No. So it's interesting to hear they've aged out. Yeah, they just wear Air Forces now. Oh, okay. Uh, no. What are you thinking when you look at those? I think... I think that stereotype where you see them in the little peach shorts and their Harvard shirts and their daddy's money. That's what I think of. In your Vines vibes? Yes. That's a no for me. I would never. No, they're okay. I'd say they're good. You're in college, right? Do you see a lot of guys still wear these on campus? Like, fraternity bros? Um, I feel like... Maybe, like, a few. But they're not really that common. I feel like they just wear sneakers nowadays. Okay. Like, casual white sneakers. No. Kind of the same idea as the Hey Dudes. I'm not a fan of them. Which ones do you like more, these or the Hey Dudes? Probably the Hey Dudes. Wow. That's crazy. Not hot. Why not? Because of the bow. Oh, you don't like the bow on the top? No, I don't. What about Vans? I like Vans. Not. I think that they're a little bit out of style right now. I think in the next five to ten years they'll come back, though. Uh, no. I'm not a fan of Vans. I... They kind of have a more of a goth vibe. They kind of, like, remind me of high school for some reason. Like, they're just outdated. Yeah, yeah. That's a good way of putting it. Because when we were in school they were so popular. Mm-hmm. I think these were super... And when I was in high school, and I think they have come back, I don't know if I would find them super attractive. I think the slip-on ones now compared to the ones that you tied are the ones that are a little bit more in style. But I would probably say they're just okay for me. Anyone can rock Vans. They're just... They're a nice, good, clean shoe. They can pull any outfit together. Yeah, it's a good shoe. Do you like the lace-up ones better or the ones that slide on? Ooh. Or do you not have a preference? I don't think I have a preference, especially when I'm not the one wearing them. I think I would prefer... Me, I prefer the slide-on ones. And I think for men, I don't think it matters. I think Vans is still... Okay. ...a pretty good shoe all around. I mean, there are some ugly ones out there. Yeah. What do you think of the checkered ones? I feel like girls either love those or hate those. I kind of like, um... That's kind of your vibe, too. Yeah, I have a few of them, so... I can't hate on them. If you have a pair, you can't hate on the guys wearing them. Yeah, I mean... Yeah, that's true. If you have checkered ones, you can't hate on the guys wearing them. I would say... not hot. Because it could show your immaturity. Okay, they look maybe a little bit juvenile. Yeah. Okay. And then, what about flip-flops? I mean, they're okay. I feel like... just... wear them during the right seasons. Because I know a lot of guys wear them during the winter. Or, like, they'll wear shorts in the winter. And I'm like, that's just not... That's just not right. Well, these are kind of a nice flip-flop. I don't think all flip-flops are bad. Uh... So, like, these would be better than a rubber flip-flop? These would be better than, like, a rubber... Did you say rubber? Yeah, rubber. Yeah. Rubber flip-flop. Be better than that. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think all flip-flops are bad. But... I'll just say okay for these. Because it kind of depends on... type. Not hot. At all. I think in the summer, you really can't go wrong with it. I think a good pair of flip-flops is nice. So, I would say it's under the hot category. Wow. Shocking. Alright. See, guys? Even though I don't like them, other girls do. Never. Ever. Do you think there's any scenario when a guy should be wearing these? Not when Birkenstocks are here now. Alright. So, you're choosing the Birkenstocks way over the flip-flop. Yes. It's just the fact that that thing is, like, in between my toe. Okay. Yeah. No thanks. Once again, hot if your toenails are looking good. Alright. And what is a man... Like, what does a man have to do for his toenails to be looking good? All you have to do is cut them. Okay. Yeah. So, there's literally no excuse, then? No excuse. So, out of all the shoes on this list, which one would you say has the greatest likelihood to impact your view of the guy in a negative way? Like, your all-time least favorite. In a negative way? I would probably say... I'm gonna give two answers. I would say none if they have, you know, a great character and someone that I'm really drawn to. I don't care about their shoe. But if I was going to pick, I would say something that is... Maybe the Crocs. Yeah. I would say the Crocs. Probably the... Because the Hey Dudes have so much opportunity to just stand out. It's like, no. But it could almost be funny. The Crocs could almost... Could be funny. Because it's almost like maybe they're just joking. I'm gonna say the boat shoes. Boat shoes are the worst. Yeah. The Jordans. Okay. Or the flip flops. Alright. Jordans because you either think these are crusty and they're the only pair of shoes this guy owns. Or the flip flops for the sole fact that you just don't like flip flops. Yeah. Flip flops. Like there's no scenario when a guy should wear these. Oh my gosh. They're probably... Would be the second place. I might change my mind because the first one place would be that... Oh my god, great. Those... The Hey Dudes? Yeah, Hey Dudes. So the Hey Dudes are worse than these? Yeah. I don't know. Like I said, I don't really notice shoes that much. And I don't think that they really impact who you are as a person as much as your clothes you're wearing. But the cowboy boots for me do have a bigger say on what you are like as a person. Okay. So that would influence you a little bit more. Yeah. But not in like a bad way. I'm just not really into cowboys. Okay. That's fair. Alright guys, that's all I have for this video. As much as I enjoy sharing my own perspective with you, I believe it's also valuable to hear from some other women as well. Everyone has different preferences and opinions and I think getting a variety of insights can give you a more well-rounded understanding. I hope this video gave you some useful takeaways and maybe even a new perspective. If you liked it or found it helpful, be sure to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to make sure you see the next one.
