Ladies, please note! You can skip wearing wedges or platforms next time you have a date!
Wedges are the shoes that men most hate on women, a new US study has found.
Research found that men are surprisingly opinionated when it comes to their partners' footwear style, and they vocally oppose the wearing of wedges, 'New York Daily News' reported.
Men in relationships also said Uggs, Crocs, platforms and flip flops were among the least attractive shoes their partners could wear, according to a new survey from CouponCodes4u.Com.
The survey polled more than 2,100 adult men currently in relationships, and 79 per cent of them said they typically noticed what kind of shoes their partner wore.
The men were also asked whether they would prefer to choose what kind of shoes their significant other wore outside the house, and 43 per cent said they would want to make that decision. However, 52 per cent said they wanted their partner to choose her own style.
Also, 59 per cent men said they did not believe their partner had good taste in shoes.
The footwear style men find least attractive is Wedge shoes (71 per cent), Uggs (67 per cent), Crocs (63 per cent), Platforms (58 per cent), Flip flops (55 per cent), Moccasins (49 per cent), Mary Janes (42 per cent), Ballet shoes (37 per cent), Kitten heels (34 per cent) and sneakers (25 per cent).
