As a guy, I enjoy dressing nicely when I can except it irks me people care so much about (men's) shoes. I don't get why they matter so much - they're on our feet near the floor out of sight mostly and serve an impt functional purpose to cushion and protect the foot.
And it angers me our society makes it fashionable for women to hurt themselves with really painfully uncomfortable shoes.

Unfortunately, I also tend to like how women look in high heels. I have a lot of cognitive dissonance about fashion in general. It disgusts me that people buy new clothes even though they have old ones that are still perfectly functional, but despite this disgust, I am sometimes one of those people. When I'm dressed well (which includes, among other things, being not too far out of date), I feel better about myself, but then I feel stupid for letting myself be manipulated for profit by the fashion industry. I know a couple of women who have such a strong aesthetic sense that they can look good without being trendy. I have a lot of respect for that.
