Which shoe that you own gets the most compliments from the opposite sex?

Mine would have to be... CJ Weymouth!

I've found that there are 2 types of women/comments I get, you have to choose which one you want to impress, you cannot have it all.

1: the Mark Nason sect: these girls can only tell if you are dressed "to go out" or dressed "to go to costco". They will look at your Mark Nasons and says "you rock"

2: the Edward Green sect: these girls are interested in picking out unusual things that people wear and assigning meaning to it. They will look at your Edward Greens and realize they see a shoe like this maybe once a year. They will say "nice shoes". They sure as hell don't know they cost $1300 though.

You can possibly try to ride the fence with some dip-dyed Paul Smiths, but this may backfire badly by being confused by both sides for the other.

Not a high end shoe at all, but I've gotten the most compliments when I wear my brown suede AE Mora's.

My spit-shined black Moras get lots of compliments from everyone.

Spectators. Every time I wear them, with no exceptions, I have several girls complimenting me.

I wear dress boots mostly. Nothing special. A few pair of frye and Bally boots depending on the occasions. Always get compliments. Even when I bend over to pick up a nickel, still get compliments.

since none of my friends or work sector really "dresses up" normally, any dress shoe i wear would receive compliments from friends/women

+1. And not seen much here in So Cal so people eat em up (and weird stares to even it out)

Besides that nothing stands out.
