On average, a woman owns 20 pairs of shoes at any given time. Many own more. No matter if they are flat, heels, boots, ballets, sandals, clogs, platforms, wedges, strappy, buckled, women love shoes.

Simply thinking about shoe shopping, adrenaline starts to course through a woman’s body. Buying shoes gives them pleasure, wearing them the first time a feeling of being a queen.

They are an intimate extension of the body and seem to say so much about a women’s attitudes, aesthetics, sexuality and social status.

The magical Kingdom of Oz is roughly rectangular in shape, and divided along the diagonals into four countries:

Munchkin Country in the East, Winkie Country in the West, Gillikin Country in the North, and Quadling Country in the South.
