Uhm, yeah, but, everyone has either black or blue ones, rarely red, so from this, rare colours and styles can often suggest things.
(I only have red ones, but I hope to get green ones for my birthday

)
As for mine, the added factor of badly tied/ not tied at all laces, the occassional doodle, labels still not removed long after purchase, oh, and the obvious utterly destroyed and loose soles.
Each suggests that I'm a lazy sod, disrespectful when it comes to art, not financially conscious, and am renowned for climbing things, respectively.
