Let's Talk About Shoes

Fabulous footwear is a staple of fashion insiders and street style bloggers today and has been a hot topic since well before King Louis XIV donned his infamous six-inch heels. New York Magazine's fashion blog The Cut posted an article about Julie Benasra's film God Save My Shoes, a documentary about the female obsession with shoes. The article focuses on women's love of heels, but I believe the human obsession with footwear extends beyond adding some height. Some men have extensive sneaker collections (Justin Timberlake is rumored to have over 300 pairs), and there is no reason to discount boots and sandals, both of which have their target seasons and therefore target markets.
