The Wide World of Womens Shoes

Ask most men and they will not likely be able to tell you why womens shoes are so popular. That is to say they know that they are sought after like mad by a lot of shoeaholic women, but why are there so many women that want that many shoes? While most men admit to buying one or two pairs of shoes in a year, surveys on womens shoes indicate that some women buy three or four pairs a year.

To a lot of sellers of womens shoes even this number will seem low with a lot of women having to measure their buying habits by the month. At least when compared to the average buying habits of men, some women would have to classify their buying of shoes as a hobby rather then simple shopping.

The womens shoes neatly organized in the closets of some of my own friends reach numbers I wouldn’t have previously imagined. Even those that claim they aren’t in to high fashion still wind up having womens shoes for all occasions ready to go at a moments notice. Maybe men like me can’t understand private collections like this because all of our dress clothes look the same so we don’t need to hunt for clearance bargains on shoes all the time—our one pair will go with anything. Womens shoes, on the other hand, have to match all sorts of different outfits for all kinds of different seasons in all shades of different colors.

This is why womens shoes is such a big industry. This is why so many women tend to light up at the sight of a clearance or wholesale event. In that same line of thinking, it can be easily assumed that the more events a woman has scheduled in a year the more womens shoes she will end up buying. And knowing that there is a wedding or a party or vacation coming up in the near future makes clearance signs in womens shoes stores an advertisement for planning ahead.

Planning ahead makes it easy to lose track. Also, once you are at a clearance sale buying womens shoes for the wedding it’s easy to think that you might as well get that pair over there for work. After all, those prices are nearly wholesale. This is really the psychology advertisers aim for with any product, but womens shoes always seem to be in demand.

Women also tend to feel more pressure in keeping up with the high fashion of the time. Those that end up joining that high fashion race are well aware that any new fashion will call for a pair of womens shoes to match. The other psychology at play is that women often admit to shoes being the first thing they notice about a person. Womens shoes or otherwise, it is claimed, can tell you a lot about the person wearing them. With this in the forefront of so many womens minds, it is easy to see how they would want to buy womens shoes that they feel reflect their personality in a positive way.

With all this in mind it isn’t hard to see why womens shoes stores, high fashion or otherwise, like to take advantage of these desires. By constantly offering clearance sales to get women in the door all the shoes just fly off the shelves. As well, wanting to save money without cutting down, it’s easy to see why shops and online stores that claim to offer womens shoes at wholesale prices are growing so much in popularity.
