The Perfect Fit: What Your Shoes Say About You ©
So, what DO your shoes say about YOU?
International footwear authority, author and TV personality Meghan Cleary has the answer. Seven years ago, she both coined this pop culture term, and wrote a book about it. Using focus groups, market research, hundreds of interviews with footwear designers, thousands of interviews with shoe wearers, and her years of fashion reporting expertise, Meghan has now written two books on the topic, The Perfect Fit : What your shoes say about you©! and Shoe Are You?®.
Shoe therapy, her proprietary way of helping people audit and upgrade their shoes closets – and their life, was first offered to clients at the Mandarin Hotel in New York City in an exclusive package for guests. As it grew with private clients, it later became her popular show on HSN and at events around the country like Crystals in Las Vegas.
In 2012, her extensive research and reporting was formally corroborated by the psychological study Shoes As a Source of First Impressions, which appeared in the Journal of Research in Personality. Meghan’s premise, which presciently foreshadowed the study, is that shoes can be an accurate indicator of who we are, and also what we want to convey about ourselves and our identities, both to others and ourselves. She is truly is a shoe therapist!

Meghan Cleary’s insight on everything from the latest shoe trends to the hottest footwear designs to red carpet stilettos at the Oscars and Emmys has appeared in more than 4,500 media outlets throughout the world. Known for coining her signature trademark phrase, “what your shoes say about you” in 2005 with the publication of her first book, Meghan has analyzed presidents, world leaders, celebrities, and fashion icons alike with her uncanny insight.
For the last seven years Meghan has travelled the world pursuing her passion for footwear — interviewing shoe designers, learning about lasts and construction and materials, predicting footwear trends, talking to consumers about their shoe desires, hosting shoe fashion shows everywhere from Macy’s to Nordstrom to Bergdorf Goodman, and talking to celebrities about their shoes on the red carpet for everyone from E! to TV Guide Network. She was a Consulting Producer on the internationally acclaimed documentary, God Save My Shoes directed by Julie Benasra in 2011 and created and produced the first social media campaign for the Italian Footwear Association.
For ten years she has served as contributing editor at luxury trend publication JCREPORT where her coverage on shoes and shoe trends has been cited everywhere from the Fashion Institute of Technology to WGSN. Hedge funds, institutional investors and universities around the world regularly call on her for her market, merchandising and footwear trend insight and she has worked as a spokesperson for Dr. Scholls for Her, Jones Apparel Group and spoken around the U.S. and globally at events as a keynote speaker.
Meghan serves on the Los Angeles Two Ten Women in Footwear (WIFI) membership commitee and the advisory board of Shoe Revolt.
