'Set default value in drop down menu in Thymeleaf

I have a table that has a column "Shoe", which is a dropdown menu enter image description here

I want to set a default value for my dropdown in Thymeleaf

<option th:each="shoe : ${shoes}" th:selected="${shoe == item.getShoe()}" th:value="${shoe}" th:text="${shoe}"></option>

In the instance when item.getShoe() == '', I'd like for the default option for the dropdown menu to be just that, '', so it appears as blank on the dropdown menu.

Instead, whenever item.getShoe() == '', it is choosing the first value from the shoes list, NIKE, to be the default option for the dropdown menu.
