Don't know exactly what prompted me to devote a song list to footwear. I own far less shoes than most adult men and only purchase a new pair when an old pair verges on falling apart. Anyway, here ya go:
Top 10: Songs about footwear
1. "Blue Suede Shoes," Carl Perkins/Elvis Presley
2. "My Adidas," Run-DMC
3. "These Boots Were Made For Walking," Nancy Sinatra
4. "Boots of Spanish Leather," Bob Dylan
5. "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes," Elvis Costello
6. "Fuck Me Pumps," Amy Winehouse
7. "(I Don't Want To) Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes," The Band
8. "Sailin' Shoes," Little Feat
9. "High Heel Sneakers," Tommy Tucker
10. "Bad Sneakers," Steely Dan
