Shoe Fetish: We All Have Weaknesses

For any woman, the true materialistic pleasures would be anything, which adds to her beauty. This is the reason why we all are drawn like moths to a flame, to all those beautiful accessories. Makeup products, hair accessories and especially clothes, the more we buy of all of these, the more we crave for. But one accessory that usually makes up our day, week and literally our month, is those shoes. Don’t believe us? Ask Cinderella, the fairy tale girl who lost her glass shoe and ended up fulfilling all her wishes and dreams.





Let’s get more in tune with the modern times, who isn’t really a fan of the hit show Sex and the City? While we all may be envious of Carrie Bradshaw for those lustrous curls, the perfect man in Mr. Big, the quaint little apartment and those dazzling contacts of the who’s who of New York. The one thing that makes us all fluttery with jealousy is her collection of shoes. Even in the popular movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic, the protagonist just was not able to get her heart off of those beautiful shoes.





Women absolutely love shoes, that dazzling diamond studded footwear has always seduced us in both our dreams and our waking hours. How many times have you caught yourself day dreaming about a certain pair of shoes and how they would look just perfect with the matching bag and dress? There are a majority of women, who actually decide what kind of clothes they would be wearing and almost their entire wardrobe on the basis of the pairs of shoes that they own. So may it be Kylie Jenner’s latest transparent boots or newest fashionable pair of uggs, we are all more than just taken, when it comes to shoes.



Have you ever wondered, what exactly is it about shoes that makes women go all bonkers? There are reports that state, that even when the situation of the economy is a bit difficult, the sale of shoes is still consistent. Probably it’s got to do with something called ‘retail therapy’, which almost all of us indulge in from time to time. Apparently according to scientists, us women are wired to feel that lust that we do for shoes. Let’s go ahead and let science take over in explaining why most women probably have this shoe fetish. They say it all just basically revolves around boosting of your mood.



Let’s say for example, when you try on any kind of other accessory, like say a dress or earrings, your brain releases a hormone known as dopamine. This hormone gives you kind of a feel good high, almost like the one that you get when you take a drug. But then the moment you swipe that card and buy that accessory, dopamine diminishes and you start guilt tripping already. But then when it comes to shoes, your brain kind of argues about the whole fact, that you can actually wear shoes for multiple times a week. This mainly is the argument which ensures that you hold on to that feeling of happiness for a lot longer.



Did you know that there are so many women who not only dream, but actually own closets full of shoes? There are so many Indian actresses who have admitted to owning more than a 100 pairs of shoes. There of course are many more actresses and models world over who readily indulge in this very habit. Science says, that these women, who buy more and more shoes, apparently get the same kind of feeling any stamp collector, or a coin collector might get if they happen to buy a new stamp, adding it then to their collection.



In the medieval times, they used to believe that only those of higher social stature get to wear high heels. This is what has translated in to the modern day love for heels. Biology states that we as humans, relate height to more power. This is how then we are able to ensure that we can also become more powerful, if we wear heels. Probably that’s why many women feel very good and empowered when they wear a pair of heels.



So now that you know that both science and biology say that it’s the best thing ever for women, why not go out there and get your hands on some beautiful pair of heels? Just for the great feels!
