If there was ever any doubt that British women love their shoes, then it's been blown away by results from a new survey.
A staggering 40 per cent of women own a pair of footwear they have never worn, while on average a woman will own 10 pairs of smarts shoes at any one time.
A third of young women who took part in the study admitted being "in love" with stylish shoes.
A spokeswoman for Kiwi Smiling Feet, who commissioned the study, said: "Ask any dedicated follower of fashion and she’ll tell you that the right shoes complete an outfit.
"But behind every pair of stylish heels hides a painful story."
The research also found that almost half (48 per cent) of women surveyed, admitted having walked home barefoot because their shoes hurt their feet so much.
Even after putting up with the pain and humiliation women suffer from wearing their favourite heels, 60 per cent still agree that stylish, smart shoes are a necessity.
The spokeswoman added: "Do we perhaps quietly suffer the pain of wearing high fashion shoes as rightful punishment for our excessive spending on our obsession?
"Or, do we simply find a way to wear our favourite stylish shoes every day without compromising comfort?"
The spokeswoman added that Kiwi Smiling Feet, which has four transparent gel cushions specially designed to fit the main pressure points on your feet, allows women style and comfort.
