* One ''Series/CarolineInTheCity'' episode has Caroline out of commission due to a bad back, so Del and Richard step in to finish the strip for her. Unfortunately, Caroline can't come up with an idea to give them, so they create their own strip whose punch line is nothing more than "Women can never have enough shoes", which they think is hilarious. Caroline thanks them for helping her, although she secretly hates the strip.
** The punchline for the strip Del and Richard made was "I have too many shoes!" and the point was men got the joke but women didn't. At the end of the episode, they showed Daphne from ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' reading the strip and not understanding the punchline. When she showed it to Niles, he got it immediately and thought it was hysterical.
* An episode of ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' has Steve ranting, "Why do women have so many shoes? Do they have extra feet we don't know about?"

In the world of fiction, all women adore shoes. Not only that, they judge people by the shoes they wear, have whole closets full of them, know every single designer, and no matter how expensive or painful to wear, they simply ''must'' have the latest styles for the season. Don't question this; this is simply one of those WomensMysteries that men will never understand.

Some women who love fashion may just prefer to have a pair or two of versatile shoes that can work with multiple outfits. Some women are handicapped and have to be careful about the shoes they wear regardless of their fashion sense. Unfortunately, any woman in fiction not interested in owning three dozen pairs of shoes is painted as a {{tomboy}} regardless of her reasoning.

* Creator/DylanMoran says that contrary to popular belief, men are actually more romantic than women, as you will typically only ever hear men openly gush about their love for a woman, to the point of declaring that life is meaningless if they can't be with her, while you'll rarely ever hear women gush that way about men. You ''will'', however, hear women gush that way about shoes. The full bit is on [[Quotes/AllWomenLoveShoes the Quotes page]].

* Used as part of a joking explanation in ''Discworld/UnseenAcademicals'' of the phrase "a lie can run around the world before the truth has its boots on": since Truth is Beauty, rather than Handsomeness, Truth must be a woman. And according to this trope, any woman in a position to choose what shoes to wear would have a ''lot'' of them to choose from.

Of course plenty of women in real life are not that interested in fashion, or dress in ways allow them roll around in a pair of cute but comfy pair of shoes. Some women who love fashion may just prefer to have a pair or two of versatile shoes that can work with multiple outfits. Some women are handicapped and have to be careful about the shoes they wear regardless of their fashion sense. Unfortunately, any woman in fiction not interested in owning at least three dozen pairs of shoes is painted as a {{tomboy}} regardless of her reasoning. For a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak, don't be surprised to find a few heels along with her boots, sneakers, track spikes, etc.
