The guys here constantly look at my shoes. like 80% of the guys 13-40 look at my shoes. Are shoes important to look at here. ???
Does anyone find guys looking at your clothes and shoes. really just shoes.? wtf ?
You must have cool shoes.
I got nice shoes, really stylish. People look at them all the time. I get comments sometimes too.
You must have a fancy pairs of shoes!
I like brown leather shoes nicely polished with light blue laces to add an unique touch of coolness.
You are unique and amazing. TW males are envying you 
What kind of shoes are you wearing to elicit such responses? Something stylish? High class? Unusual? Colorful? Because nobody compliments my plain old athletic shoes…
Wear flip-flops, or 20NT$ bathroom slippers (green, red or blue, depending on the political party in power) … all year, no one will stare.
well, they will stare, just not at the slippers…
I wear grey slip on shoes. bought them in Portugal for 20 bucks. most plain shoes you’ll ever see. Maybe cause I’m 6’2… are they looking down to see if im wearing lifts??? Seriously there was a guy in front of me at mcdonalds who turned around, looked at me from head to toe…when he got to the toe he paused for 5 seconds.
Not a big problem, but maybe they see my shoes and expect me to be wearing there very stylish/over the top/ branded shoes.
Maybe you are so handsome that they do not dare looking at you in the eyes.
Or maybe you just “think too much”.
Pay back by looking at the feet of Xiaojies. Um… shoes I mean…

Honestly, we need pictures to make an accurate assessment of the situation. Of the shoes, I mean.
Of course, Icon would not mind some extra pictures. 6 foot two you say. 
I’ve noticed people looking at my feet too, but equally males and females and nowhere near 80%. Generally I ignore most people in public but they stare so artlessly that it is impossible not to notice. It doesn’t seem to matter what shoes I am wearing. (Sitting on the MRT reading I occasionally find a stranger next to me, head cocked to the side, blatantly gaping at my page. When I lean forward to intercept their eyes they will inevitably be stunned at being caught, as though it had never even occurred to them that I might notice.)
If I’m walking with my girlfriend I find a lot of people stare at her rather than my feet. I’m not sure what this says about our relationship.
They stare because they are curious toward foreigners. Even in downtown Taipei, I might catch a foreign face only twice a day on average. We just don’t have that many foreigners in Taiwan.
They are curious of your look, your style, what you buy in supermarket, how does your gf look like…
I guess you just have to live with it and not be sensitive about it.
They stare because they are thinking “We put dog shit on the trees to let them grow tall. What is this guy putting in his shoes?”
Just stare back at the shoes of the person who is staring at your shoes … they will soon feel equally uncomfortable and stop.
There’s a lot of bored people
in Taiwan.
i stare too. at butts.
are they checking out your shoes, or your package?
Are you male or female? I guess that might change things re the statement above.

…but a lot in Taiwan. People who queue three hours for a friggin’ donut do not in all likelihood have a great deal going on under the hood.
