What Do Cars and Shoes Have in Common...?
Tires are the shoes to your ride and shoes complete the equation to
your outfit.
A sleek shine. The amazing smell of rich leather.
Sophistication that declares, “I am a man of quality!” New wheels
or a new walk?
Cars and shoes are an
indicator of what lies deep inside of a man. A high polish
on a man’s car and shoes announces: “I belong to a man that takes
care of himself and all that is his!”
A million dollar Ferrari Enzo, a Lamborghini Murcielago, or a hand
me down Chevy from grandma. A pair of Testoni’s with a brilliant
ostrich cap toe, a good pair of hand-worked leather Forshiem’s or a
blue-light special. It's the man who makes the car or shoes—not the
other way around.
Shoes are not just an accessory but a necessity. A vital one.
Shoes are to the man as tires to a
car. You enter dangerous territory when you ignore your
tires or your shoes. Ignoring your tires can be the cause for a
major accident. Neglecting tight footwear can be the cause of an
accidental outfit. behind. Your choice in shoes and how you care
for your shoes is a major ordeal. Chic attire includes nice shoes.
You certainly wouldn’t put whitewalls on that Enzo!
Whether you slip them on, tie em' up, lace it, buckle them, your
foot game should ALWAYS compliment your threads.
The world has a brutally twisted image of material items making a
man. It is a vile lie that far too many of our young men are buying
into. They believe they are somebody because of what belongs to
them, not because of whom they belong to.
The truth is it doesn’t matter what a man drives or the shoes that
he wears. It is okay to buy the best you can afford. Afford being
the key word. What matters is who you are when doing either. Do you
take care for the acquired items or toss them around to prove your
worth? Are you humble or prideful? Generous or selfish?
Indulge yourself with what matters for eternity-not for just today:
strength—strength of character, self-control, self respect. Become
a warrior worthy to serve in the King’s army!
Allow the very best shoes you can afford to cover the feet of the
man whose path has been made straight by the sacrificial love of
Jesus Christ.
Shoes tell a story about a
man. What story is being told about you? See Related
