What do your shoes say about you?

From Theresa May's leopard-print kitten heels to Ken Clarke's scuffed loafers, shoes can make a statement.

In fact in tests, according to news reports, 63 students shown a picture of shoes could guess 90% of the owner's characteristics . So what are you shod in today – and what does it say about you?
