Capitalism. Companies focus all of their energies convincing us that we need all sorts of things. For women, one of those things happens to be shoes. I don’t blame them. We have all been indoctrinated into consumerism basically since birth. Barbie dolls, GI Joe, whatever. The short answer is that they have been duped by an elaborate plot so compelling that they actually believe they posses that “insatiable lust for shoes.” Sadly they are only trying to fill an emotional need that can not be met by anything purchased. Sadly, we all do it. Even those of us who are aware of marketing practices. I really do like capitalism, but I admit that the free market has been compromised by the manipulation of the “demand” aspect of supply and demand.
