In college we wore Weejuns penny loafers because they held up well trekking around campus. When I was a kid in Catholic school, we wore saddle shoes because they looked cute with our jumpers and amazingly enough my daughter did, too and for once I thought my mother was right — they do look cute with plaid jumpers. LOL

I think you’re supposed to offset me, a person who has no business interfering in these arcane matters.

“While men often don’t get women’s almost religious zeal for footwear”

What about women who don’t get it? To me shoes are portable floors for my feet.

Not especially: after giving away a couple of largely-unused pairs, I have pared my personal collection down to seven.

Totally lost on this one.

Now, in the abstract, I’m interested in anything not-male.
So a curve of any sort; hip, calf, or ankle, is worthy of attention.
The shoe, while not without stylistic opportunity in its own right, is a mere platform.
Understand, the interest doesn’t really get to the ‘eye offending me’ stage.
