The\u00a0arrival of the red shoes<\/a>\u00a0in my life triggered an unexpected journey of exploration and self discovery.\u201cTHIS\u2026.is from a shoe???!!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0I would exclaim every time \u00a0insight and understanding dawned. Friends, members of The Women Who Love Shoes Club, smiled knowing smiles and nodded. They shared their stories and offered membership to the Club.\u00a0 While I\u2019m still on a visitors pass I am fascinated by what clearly is a love, deeply connected to the heart\u2026and decidedly magical.<\/p>\n

Today, facts that imbue-the-shoe with supernatural-ness.<\/p>\n

FACT#1<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Buying and wearing shoes can be a serious mood booster for many women with a real physiological root. Once the neurotransmitter dopamine is released it produces a feel good high, described as being similar to taking a drug.<\/p>\n

FACT#2<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 While sales of most things slumped during the recession footwear sales went up in every quarter.<\/p>\n

FACT #3<\/b>\u00a0-Like animals we associate height with power. High heels immediately raise our status (in the kingdom).<\/p>\n

FACT#4<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 In previous centuries only the wealthy wore heels\u2026 we still see them as denoting class.<\/p>\n

FACT#5<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Heels make every leg look great and the wearer slimmer.<\/p>\n

FACT#6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0 High heels (stilettos) cause the wearer\u00a0 to assume a primal mating poise called \u2018lordosis\u2019 where the behind lifts and the \u00a0back arches.\u00a0 (Helen Fisher PhD professor of Anthropology Rutgers University)<\/p>\n

FACT#7<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A pound or two may be gained but shoe size never changes.<\/p>\n

FACT#8<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Women will buy shoes in the wrong size if they love them.<\/p>\n

FACT#9<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Some women rarely wear the shoes they love most. Instead they will view the shoe as a coveted work of art to be looked at and only occasionally touched.<\/p>\n

FACT#10<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Dr Daniel Amen author of The Brain in Love said,\u00a0\u201cOur minds are structured in a way that we may associate feet with sex. The area of the brain that communicates with the genitals is right next to the area that deals with feet these regions share neural cross talk which may be why shoes can be erotic\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

FACT#11<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Red Shoes have the distinct honor of being their own sub culture. Red shoes can set wearers and those around them off balance in both a negative and positive way (as I learned from red shoe project wearers).<\/p>\n

Could this be why? \u00a0Red excites the emotions and motivates us to take action. As the color of blood, it has strong symbolism to life and vitality \u2014 passion and lust. \u00a0Red signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination.<\/p>\n

FACT #12<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Red is known to: increase enthusiasm and interest \u2013 provide energy \u2013 encourage action and confidence to go after your dreams \u2013 protection from fears and anxieties.<\/p>\n

What I learned from going through my shoe closet<\/b><\/p>\n

I have less than 20 pairs of shoes and therefore fall below the national average. If I do join The Women Who Love Shoes Club I will have a lot of catching up to do which of course will require lots of shoe shopping. This would be heavily endorsed by my husband as I\u2019d be in a permanently happy place virtually swimming in dopamine.<\/p>\n

I realized that most of the shoes in my closet were purchased because they looked FUN\u2026I can only assume I have a couple of crossed wires?<\/p>\n

I have more heels than flats\u2026I love high heels\u2026.the added height makes me feel powerful. I am an introvert who masquerades as an extrovert so the increased size helps me be more out there or would it be\u00a0up<\/em>\u00a0there? Regardless\u2026..works for me.<\/p>\n

My red shoes make me happy, I swear they create energy and draw people and opportunities to me.<\/p>\n

JUST AS I\u2019M ABOUT TO WRAP UP THIS POST I FIND THIS\u2026..<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A Sociologist from New Zealand spent several months asking why women wear red shoes. Her report included research that indicates bright red shoes have an overpowering effect on men and that some men may become befuddled and even confused. This leads them to stammer and perspire.<\/p>\n

WHAT??!!<\/em><\/p>\n

I read it to my husband.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m howling!<\/p>\n

He\u2019s smiling.<\/p>\n
