Now Check your results:

If your answers were mostly A's then your fall shoe style is Cool and Classic.

For casual wear, your perfect shoes would be a pair of white converse All Stars, the more worn in the better. They are ultra cool and will go with your cute preppy style. Your perfect fall pump would be a plaid printed loafer pump. To see some of these pumps, check out the September issue of InStyle, page 286. Your perfect fall boot is the wedge suede boot. Borrowed from the popular Espirelda wedged heel that took over this summer, this boot is comfortable and fresh at the same time. Don't be afraid to break out of conservative taste by adding fur to this boot. To see more of this style, turn to page 302.

If you got mostly B's then your Fall Shoe Style is Feminine and Chic.

For casual wear, a pair of suede ballerina flats with an adorning bow would be perfect for your elegant self. Your fall pump is a velvet peep-toe shoe. It's lady-like and the material alone will make you feel luxurious. Your fall boot is the ultra womanly knee-high boot. Turn up the heat by opting for a metallic toned pair, and don't forget that perfect pair of cropped trousers. 

If you got mostly C's then your fall shoe style is Fun and Feisty. 

Your casual shoes are a pair of Vans slips-ons. They are a hip and lighthearted, just like you. Your fall pump is animal printed. You know nothing brings more zing to an outfit then something exotic. Your fall boot is the cowboy boot. Bold, fun, and edgy, this fall trend is perfect for that fitted blazer and prairie skirt. 

Well girls, I hope I proved my point, and if I didn't, I am sure there is a part of you in all three descriptions, and somewhere in there the perfect fit.
