'God Save My Shoes' Journeys Inside The Vogue Shoe Closet (VIDEO)

Do you love ogling massive shoe collections in big gorgeous closets? We sure do.

Which is why we're pretty psyched about the upcoming 'God Save My Shoes,' a documentary which explores "the intimate relationship between women and their shoes -- from a psychological, sociocultural and erotic perspective."

The film, which may be released in the U.S. by November, interviews an eclectic group of shoe professionals and enthusiasts. The dominant duo of the luxury shoe biz, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik, both make an appearance, as does our fave Pierre Hardy.

As for those ogle-able shoe closets? Prepare to feast your eyes on the collections of Fergie, Kelly Rowland, Dita Von Teese and one quite unique collector: Beth Shak. (You may remember Shak, the professional poker-playing mom who stores 1,200 pairs of heels in her Pennsylvania home.)

"God Save My Shoes" will premiere in Paris on September 29 and air on French TV Canal Plus on October 4, but an American release, theatrical or televised, is still in the works. In the meantime, there are several fun "Production Diary" videos posted on YouTube to whet your appetites.

Fashionista posted Episode Six, "Inside Vogue's Shoe Closet," which you can check out below.

And if that doesn't get you hooked, we don't know what will.

Oh come on...most of us ladies have a thing for shoes. I will raise my hand proudly that shoes are my addiction. They make me extremely happy...it's a rush. However, I'm not out of control or have a shoe collection like Mariah or Imelda, but I'm right up there. With all of the negative information on the Network/Cable news, the Web and every place you look, a little superficial, mindless fun can be a welcomed distraction.

What do they do with all the shoes that are out of season? Is there a shoe graveyard somewhere? If they are 9.5 I would take them off their hands.

Wow, Imelda Marcos would be jealous.

Imelda Marcos didn't know much about shoes. She cared about quantity, not quality. Her shoes were cheap, and if she liked a style she ordered a pair in every color. Hence the growth of her "collection", which wasn't a collection at all, just an amassment of shoes.

Oh please, it's not like I was advocating for her over the Vogue collection.

Just trying to point out that Imelda didn't know fashion, which I assume they do at Vogue, plus, like all dictators, she was a hoarder.

I agree with that.

This is pretty ridiculous.

How so? Women LOVE shoes. Personally have 250 pairs. Bought over the years and I wear them ALL. None are from PayLess, ALL are designer, and they make me feel good. So what is wrong with that?

Oh wait... having things is BAD to people like you, correct? Funny.
