bis it because no matter how much weight their gain or lose their shoe size remains constant?
is that true? You can tell what a person is like by the shoes they wear. You can tell where they have been or where they are going.can we judge a persons character by their shoes?

I am not obsessed with shoes by any means. I own no more than 10 pairs of shoes at the moment, and that includes slippers. LOL
You might have something there with the shoe size remaining constant, though!

We are obsessed with shoes because we can be! LOL I can't speak for every woman only myself. I love shoes because of the ways they enhance my outfits. A top and jeans looks alot different when you wear heels than when you wear sneakers. Wouldn't you agree? I also love the way that heels make my legs look, but I love the comfort of sandals. Anyway does this answer your question? I hope I have enlightened you a little on the topic of women and shoes ;)

Shoes seem to be one of those things that are too easily gotten. I get mine from the Church Rummage sales and so the selecion is not large. Character has nothing to do with shoes. They are a practical item most of the time and are required in most establishments. Sure are nice on a really cold day. Our feet, everyone of us, change throughout our lives.

In a way, you can tell a woman's or probably including men's basic personality by their shoe preference. It's just that most women are not aware of that. I said this because my circle of friends really, really have different shoe choices according to our taste.
My friend Cathy likes to wear silver shoes and when she got married she wore a tiara which she said made her feel like a princess; thus, the silver shoes. On the other hand, Mylene doesn't go for silvery shoes because she said it looks too fancy. She doesn't wanna be noticed.
Faye likes to wear beach sandals or hiking shoes which also reflects her favorite activities
And the list goes on.

Don't tell anyone I told you, but women have lots of shoes because you need different types of shoes depending on the situation. You need the big, tall shoes for when you're going out with a tall guy. You wear flats if you're going out with a short guy. And you wear pointy shoes if you're anticipating a good kick in the balls! AHAHAHAHAHA! Shhh! That's a secret.

Ok one thing I don't understand about women and shoes. I mean they buy shoes that they love and after let's a week or two, they fall in love with another pair of shoes. And then shoes just get pilled up for no reason and just to waste and throw money for no reason.

Years ago I use to buy a lot of shoes but my priorities have changed. I still have a lot of them hoping they may come back into style some day. But I have got rid of most. I have one pair of boots I paid about three hundred dollars for and only wore once. I can't even walk in them. When I think about this now it seems so silly. Really I only ware one or two pairs on a regular bases.

they say shoes can make or break an outfit. You can't wear sneakers with a sexy attire. It basically completes your whole look. You dress up to be comfortable, to impress or to express yourself.
Shoes is just an extension of clothing. Why women are so obsessed with it? Psychologically and scientifically i do not know the answer. But what i do know is, shoes are great. For a few inches of material, you see a lot of creativity, a lot of patterns, shapes, colors. I love shoes. I used to buy shoes almost every week. When things are still ok at home. Now i buy shoes when i have a few extra bucks. I'd rather buy shoes than bags.

I guess I'm out of the norm then, as I do not obsess about shoes. I currently own one pair of shoes. And the most I've every owned was 3 pairs at one time, one dressy and two low style boots. Oh, and the only reason I had two pairs of boots was because I bought the exact same ones so that when the first pair wore out I would have another ready to go as they were really comfy. I don't think it has to do with the size of womens feet remaining the same, but rather all the styles of shoes women have to choose from.

Of course!
If your feet didn't gain any weight when you get fat.
Maybe.
No,I disagree.
You can't really tell the person's character just by looking at her shoes.
Maybe by the way she looks at her shoes.
Or by the way she treats her shoes.
No one can really tell.

I wish I knew, then i might be able to understand, why my sister has an entire walk in closet devoted to them.

Wearing a nice pair of shoes is one of the distinct ways in showing a woman's feminine side. Many women have been busy with work and housework. Shoes must be the best deal to relieve stress. Just by wearing a beautiful pair of shoes could make a woman feel different.

That's not true because there's wideness too. Anyway, women love a lot of things that has to do with fashion. Shoes change too as fashion does so some women like a lot of shoes. I'm not the type who has to match shoes to outfits though. I have black, brown and gray to go with most outfits and ofcourse those tennis shoes as well. Although I did have 4 shoes for school.
