My take on Johnny's comment is that if someone is absolutely obsessive about an object and will learn about the most minute details of its construction, history, etc. while actively looking for other people to discuss those notions with then he's a "geek" while a person that mostly hoards a huge collection of the items than it's a more intuitive approach. I wouldn't go as far as calling it fetichism as it definitely involve a transposition of the item in the realm of sexuality or even a merging of the item and Sexuality. My criticism of this would be that we're entering the area of gender cliches, with the typical men: childish&analytical / women superficial&intuitive.

Fetishism? HHMMM............
Never thought about that aspect of it.
but for the record, i dont have sex (or a sexual obsession) with my shoes!, or anything, anyone else for that matter, I am Celibate.
but i also view shoes from this pespective, as minute details, such as Bad stitching, one foot shaping slightly different from the other etc......can make or break a purchase for me!
