Red shoes: sin, sex and freedom

Dorothy used her red shoes to click her heels and fly away from Oz. And Kiwi women, it seems, are wearing them to escape their mundane lives.
An Otago University sociologist who has spent the past six months asking why we wear red shoes has concluded young women wear them for excitement and out of a desire to be noticed. Most men associate red shoes with sex and sin.
University sociologist Dr Elaine Webster, whose long term interest is in "dress and identity", did the research after being impressed with the way women spoke about their red shoes.
"Women always say 'my red shoes make me feel great, I love my red shoes'. They never say 'I love my brown shoes'."
Webster believes footwear, more than any other item of clothing, has a special quality in our lives -and red shoes are a way to lift you out of a drab and ordinary existence. "Women and some men wear red shoes because they're really wanting a richer and more exciting life than the one they are living."
Many women she interviewed made a connection between their red shoes and Red Shoes, the film of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale, or Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
