10 FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT WOMEN AND THEIR OBSESSION WITH SHOES
by MegaMood

If there’s one thing that Carrie from Sex and the City has taught us all, it’s that a great pair of shoes can make everything all right.

Countless women can agree that there just appears to be some mystical power associated with buying shoes and even buying clothing in general. What is it about shopping for shoes that make women so happy?

Did you know that there might be a psychological explanation for women’s obsession with shoes? That’s right. A new study delving into women’s emotions and women’s health reveals that there may be something deeper occurring with women’s obsessions for shoes and shopping.

Follow along as we explore ten psychologically-backed facts about women and their obsession with shoes. The reasons may surprise you.

1. There Really is Such a Thing as a Shopper’s High
Perhaps your husband doesn’t agree, but there is this unexplainable feeling associated with buying a new pair of shoes. While many of us can’t quite put a finger on the explanation, thankfully, psychologists have done the job for us.

DopamineYou may already know that dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, releases good feelings throughout the body. Drugs and other highs emulate this sensation. That’s why many people are hooked on such temporary releases to chase that feeling.

Well, what if we told you that shopping releases dopamine, too? It’s true. Studies indicate that shopping, especially for shoes, releases large amounts of dopamine into our brains, causing for that feel-good feeling.

Speaking of our brains and why we are addicted to buying shoes, another part of the brain is activated as this dopamine flows. There exists a “collecting spot” in everyone’s brains. Whenever something makes us happy, the brain tells us to keep buying and collecting these items, so naturally, shoe hoarding is only our minds watching out for our health.

2. A Different Kind of High

In addition to various levels of dopamine rising from a shoe purchase, the sensation of wearing high heels also provides women with a different desirable sensation.

Psychologists agree that women who wear heels portray this status of power. Heels help women feel taller and more confident. Therefore wearing high heels helps some women reach a euphoric state.

Feeling taller and more confident helps empower women, so why stop at one pair of shoes? Once a woman has tasted this feeling of power, she will continually purchase more and more shoes to keep the sensation alive.

3. High Heel Wearers Have Hedonistic Tendencies
Hedonistic TendenciesWhile the term, “hedonist,” has a negative connotation to it, some women don’t mind the fact that they selfishly seek pleasure through their shoe purchases.

They enjoy strutting their stuff in a new pair of boots or high heels. We discussed earlier that high heel wearing can lead to a sense of euphoria, but it extends way beyond this emotion.

Researchers have clinically proven that wearing heels can help boost a woman’s personality. Women who look good, feel good in return, so any woman donning a pair of cute heels is sure to feel splendid. There are, of course, other items that you can buy to have a new look, but studies show that shoes always do the trick.

4. They Attract the Opposite Sex

High heels cause a woman’s rump to stick out and back to arch, a posture known as “lordosis.” This posture can allow anyone’s figure to become even more flattering. The buttocks become larger and more curvaceous, allowing the body to have more of an hourglass shape.

This posture naturally makes a woman both look and feel sexy and beautiful. A woman wearing heels, or even sexy boots, feels better about how they look. Better yet, they enjoy the extra attention they receive as a result of the high heels.

5. We Can Rationalize Our Obsession

Yes, it’s true that purchasing shoes and wearing them increase dopamine levels in the brain, as well a state of euphoria. However, have you ever noticed that women have a tendency to rationalize their shoe collections?

That’s because shoes are a necessity. Sure, a new blouse or a pair of jeans is nice, but we all need shoes on our feet. Boots are necessary for wet or cold weather. Heels are a staple for special events and occasions. Practical flats and sneakers are important for working out or performing strenuous tasks.

There you go, that’s already four pairs of shoes right there. Now you get into the argument of color and style, and it becomes reasonable to have over ten pairs of shoes in the closet. At least.

In fact, the average woman admits to owning at least 10 pairs of shoes, and one in every 12 women claims to have over 100 pairs.

6. Why Men Don’t Notice Them
Eye contactPsychologically speaking, men want eye contact when they first notice an attractive woman. Eye contact, evolutionary speaking, is essential for mating. So, that is where the man’s eye first starts.

Naturally, he then works downward. Typically speaking, there are many different appendages that catch his eye before the feet. Do we really need to list them?

So, ladies, he probably doesn’t even notice your footwear, because he is too busy staring at your other amazing assets. Hold on, because there are some men out there who long for your lower limbs.

7. Shoe Shopping Taps Into Our Primitive Instincts

Evolution has changed and adapted much of our existence. However, some things remain the same. Qualities such as the fight or flight instinct have stuck with us. And believe it or not, shoe shopping dates back to our most primitive instincts.

We as humans are hunters. We like to hunt out and stalk our prey, only to kill and devour it. While you may not be with us just yet, just wait – shoe shopping actually resembles this instinctual habit.

The thought of shopping provides us with a rush of dopamine. Once we arrive at our destination, or better yet, if it’s online, our dopamine levels are still up there. We shop and search for our prey. Then we feel a sense of accomplishment when we find it. But, we are not all the way there yet.

Your peak of adrenaline and dopamine occurs when you swipe that credit card. Only after this moment does reality set in and make you feel guilty about such a frivolous purchase. The hormones that drive us to even follow through with this purchase emulate those from our very beginnings.

Despite possible bankruptcy, feuds with significant others and room lost in our closets, shopping for and purchasing shoes provides us with a feeling of satisfaction. The shoe is something we wanted, something we stalked out, and something we ultimately attained for ourselves.
