My old shoes

   A woman with whom I work says, "Anybody can look decent in a suit.  But you can tell a lot by looking at someone's shoes.  Whether they really care, really pay attention to detail.  You know."
   So these are my old shoes, which I have been wearing to the office -- not with suits, but on "business casual" days -- for many years.  I would have worn them for a while longer, but the sole on the right one was starting to split on the side. 
   Are these the shoes of someone who doesn't care, someone who doesn't pay attention to detail?  Or maybe someone who likes to get the most out of something.  Someone who doesn't like to shop, especially for himself.  Someone who likes making a nice meal out of some leftovers.  Someone more inclined to daydream than to worry too much about his shoes.
