Do women spend vastly more than men on shoes? That’s the popular wisdom (particularly among men). A report from The NPD Group doesn’t quite support it, though. Women did spend more than men on shoes last year, but the disparity — $21.9 billion vs. $16.8 billion – wasn’t the order of magnitude one might expect.
