Some ladies like shoes and Brantano's marketing people have picked up on this, equating the psychological aspect of the compulsion to purchase with a 'slingback synapse'.
They then attempt to link their founder with the likes of Carl Jueng and Freud. Good Marketing or Bad mistake?
Personally I hate the advert.
Putting the words psychology and shoe into a search gets some interesting results.

Being a man, not having a clue what all the fuss is about, gives me comfort.
We tend to wear ours until they need replacement/ reach minimum tread depth.
"Never Judge another man until you have walked a mile in his shoes in his shoes” After that, you’re far enough away to say what the hell you like, he won't hear.
I wondered if we had other obsessions and if these are gender or age related. The most obvious for men would be football/ sport obsession, car obsession, fishing, D.I.Y etc.
What of men without a fixation, are they lacking or getting the attention that prevents other hobbies turning into obsessions?
Can blogging be an obsession?
Tonight I am due another visit to my obsession..... the gym.
Tomorrow I may blog again by then no doubt the world will be full of people with Big Brother obsessions.
Take Care

Well, I think its safe to say I would have something to say about this blog!! Let me enlighten, Shoes are a passion, women in general either have fat days or thin days, but with shoes it makes no difference! Your feet remain the same what ever! Shoes also can change your mood, your attitude how you feel and how others view you. They say alot about you as a person I feel. I also think that yes it's a women thing probably!! Thanks again for your comments!
Hey,
Thanks for the insight, think I have a better understanding now.
Appreciate the mood change thing, I feel the same about being dressed nicely when going out.
If you look good, you feel good, people treat you differently.
