Shock news: women like shoes

What a pointless, self-evident article.  I don't mean that the premise itself is self-evident – it's an unsupportable stereotype, anyway – but that the article doesn't say anything, merely recycling pseudo-facts and decontextualised statistics.

A training exercise, perhaps? Dunno why the BBC actually published it.

This Financial Times article is a little more substantial, discussing the role of architects in aesthetic shoe design.
