Besides, if you think my opinion matters more because I am female, that is a flaw in your reasoning. Sometimes I think VERY differently than the rest of my species so take everything (and every thing everybody else says) with a grain of salt.

I think it would be OK to say her shoes are cute. Although, it matters more how you say it. If you say it nonchalantly, she will just take it as a friend thing. Although I have to admit I would probably tease a guy friend of mine if he complimented me on my shoes. Now if you say it flirtatiously, that's a different story. Although I would recommend complimenting her on something else... maybe her hair, clothes, etc. When a guy compliments my shoes, honestly? I think he is more on the gay/metrosexual side or has a foot fetish. Which all the above is not bad, just would investigate further to find out what he is. Different when the guy you are with compliments your shoes. Totally different. Then it's flirting. Like when he says he likes heels or boots, etc. Get it? Hard to elaborate. But that's how I think most girls would see it.

The only times I can think of guys complimenting my shoes are my gay friends or REALLY close guy friends (but they more make fun of them), whatever guy I am with, or random guys who only "compliment" my shoes when I am wearing heels or boots and do it in a derogatory sexual way.

Wow, that's complicated. I had never seen these shoes before which was why they caught my eye.

Plus the old saying about engineers looking at shoes holds true. At least I look at other people's shoes!
