Women will always check out your shoes (just like they check out your teeth) before scanning upwards to the rest of your physique.

It's not about the grade of your hair, brand of your frames, or dye of your jeans. It's all in the shoes.

Your shoes determine how well you take care of yourself. It hints to women what your personal standards are, and what your outlook on life is.

Got Gucci shoes? You probably enjoy relishing in the finer-things in life. Nike SB Dunks? You're a fan of streetwear.

So, what kind of shoes should you get? Here are some principles to your shoe game:

1. Make sure your shoes suit your overall style or personality. For example, I'm personally into high-end street wear brands, therefore my picks would be brands like Supra Shoes or Creative Recreation.

Being a hip hop artist, this adds extra panache to my self-presentation and their designs blur the line between formal and informal.

If you're the sporty type, then go for Air Jordan's, or clean all-white Air Force 1 Classics.

2. Don't break the bank by purchasing limited edition shoes. Women don't care what your gucci shoes cost, as long as they look great on you. Neither will they prize the "Limited Edition" concept your shoes were marketed with.

Your shoes should also be comfortable and durable. You do not want to buy yourself ankle blisters after a long day of commuting.

Your shoes should be versatile and valid for more than just one occasion. Also, dress appropriately for the occasion if it's imperative. If you're out for a cocktail party, then you may consider donning a suit and well-stitched classic Oxford shoes with a plain or cap toe.

Invest in your shoes, as the reward goes a long way. Black or white pairs are your safest bet. Black if you're lazy on the shoe scrubbing and maintenance. The trick to maintain a new "look" is to own at least 3-4 pairs and keep them worn in rotation.

One more thing that can win you points from a woman with an acute fashion eye.
