A “Fact” is that there are many people – of all Genders – who are obsessed with Shoes. Women have told us of shoes they “had to have”{ and knew that “they would never where them because they hurt so much” and yet “still had to have them. One idea for women is that Shoes are like external lingerie. An opportunity (not an obligation) to make a statement. And it’s not just women. Men remember their Bar Mitzvah Shoes or first pair of Chucks or Dr. Martens or Wedding Shoes.

And, what turns an “Interest” into an Obsession or Fetish. Whose Label is it Anyway?
