I seem to have that effect on many people. WRT the anecdote, my feelings were rather hurt by the lady's comment -- which she made in all innocence, I believe. I don't think I dress for fashion or for a look -- unless it is to flaunt retro jerseys and other kit if the teams are at least 30 years old. But after I got over my annoyance, I had to laugh myself. The shoes themselves *were* rather elvish, with their narrow, turned-up aspect.
