Another reason is that, fat or thin, short or tall, in most cases, women who can't find stylish clothing that fits them can usually find cute shoes.

I'm a guy and I usually have about 10-15 pairs of shoes. I have hiking boots/shoes, dress, casual, athletic, soccer, etc.

Some women like shoes because it's probably an easy way to change an outfit. I don't really know.

But you don't have to wear a different pair of shoes with those different pants. I have pants that are hemmed to wear with heels and pants that are hemmed to wear with flats. Boots can go with skirts, dresses, or slim pants. I'm by no means obsessed with shoes, but not every shoe goes with every outfit.

Why do (some) men ask so many stupid questions?

My late spouse had at least 50 pair of running shoes alone.

I have three.

which is why my motto is:

when all else fails, buy shoes.

i am fairly average sized, proportionate, and moderately fit.
yet when you are going clothes shopping and try on an
unbelievable amount of clothing and most of it, if not all
of it doesn't look good or fit...
well, you get a little cranky lol

I once put a outside tape on my shoes because it was coming off.

my beau has as many pairs of shoes as i do. i don't have fifty pairs like you would have most people think. i have a small collection ranging from combat boots to "fashion" boots to strappy 5" heels. different shoes for different outfits and occasions. his collection is similarly varied, from work boots to chuck taylors to dress shoes.
I like the 5" Strappy heels on women.
