I'm going to use your post as an excuse to talk about shoes some more. Shoe shopping is a great example of pathological shopping behavior. Men will gladly drop $250 on a pair of Kenneth Coles, thinking the label means status and some kind of guarantee of quality. KCs are ugly and poorly made. The irony is that, when they're on your feet, nobody will know they're KCs and you spent $250 on them. But some people are so programmed to care about labels that this thought will not occur to them. At least designer jeans have exclusive copyrighted designs sewn right onto the ass pockets.
