| How they talk and what words they use. It's harder to judge just by clothes etc, some people just don't care about that and will wear 10 year old shoes but flu first class to Europe. |

| Very broad brush here, but weight. Middle class tend to generally look average weight to me, working class tends toward significant overweight, upper class tends toward significant underweight (I don't know how they do it but it's often an obsession). |

It's not the age of the shoe that gives it away. It's the quality, style and brand. |

Eh. Are you looking at expensive brands vs not? And how are you defining SES? Some people like my FIL come from a very humble background and he can't force himself I spend money on shoes or cars but he can certainly afford anything he wants (well not a private jet) to since he worked hard and made a lot of money and saved most of it. |
