An U.S. experiment shows that one really can judge a person by their shoes, the Daily Mail reported.

Psychologists from the University of Kansas found that the style, value, color and condition of the footwear can paint a picture of the owner's emotional, political and other important personality traits.

The team reported that practical and functional shoewear usually belongs to agreeable people, ankle boots are worn by aggressive personalities and calm personalities wear uncomfortable looking shoes. Liberal thinkers, who many think of as sandal wearing hippies, really do wear scruffier and less expensive shoes, said the research.

据英国《每日邮报》报道，美国科学家通过试验发现，穿鞋品味的确可以折射出主人的个性。

堪萨斯州立大学的心理学家发现，根据鞋的款式、价值、颜色和状态，可以描绘出穿鞋者的情感、政治和其它重要个性特征。

研究结果称，开朗人士往往选择实用、功能明确的鞋子，个性激进者常穿高帮鞋，沉稳人士则选择看起来并不舒服的鞋品。自由思想者常被认为喜欢穿嬉皮士风格凉鞋，而他们的确会选择更随意、更便宜的鞋。
