Keira Knightley says she needs a lover with good shoes, just days after splitting from boyfriend Jamie Dornan.

The screen beauty also claims her new man must be someone she can laugh, fight and talk with.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star said she "cried a river of tears" when her two-year relationship with model Jamie broke down earlier this week, but is already considering what she wants in her next man.

The 20-year-old brunette told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'd go for someone who is a little bit brooding and somebody you can have a good conversation with, a good fight with, who will always keep you guessing and make you laugh. And he has to have good shoes."

The actress, who split from Jamie after they decided their relationship had run its course, is currently being comforted by friends.

A source said: "Keira is devastated. She really thought what she had with Jamie was love, but it just wasn't meant to be."
