Shoe Shoetube

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Mar 25 at 2:00 PM

It was bound to happen: Now there’s a video sharing web site for shoe addicts called—what else—Shoetube. It’s only been around for a few weeks, and it’s definitely all over the place. Some of the user-generated videos posted are kind of pervy and uncomfortable:

There are also some better ones, like a sneak peek into a Nieman Marcus trunk show featuring Christian Dior and Stella McCartney shoes, and the sites have some more professional videos, featuring interviews and excursions to shoe boutiques and designer studios. The whole endeavor has potential, but it’s got a ways to go before it’s the time sucking black hole of fascination that it could be.
