Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: man olo man ik
Sentence: Carrie had become a Manolomanic. Although she had already blown thousands on her collection of the flimsy, expensive Manolo Blahnik spikes, she could not get enough.

He did a flip-flop and decided to go through with the wedding even though he had no sole, was a heel with a loose tongue and had a permanent wedgie. Luckily Carrie was not too Jimmy Choo-sey and they lived happily on a shoestring ever after!
Etymology: Manolo Blahnik (Expensive,Designer shoe name, made more famous on Sex In The City) & Manic (affected with or marked by frenzy or mania uncontrolled by reason).

Stilettosis
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: stil-let-toe-sis
Sentence: Stilettosis is a chronic condition that afflicts a vast number of women, manifesting at first as a penchant for cute shoes then metastasizing throughout the entire budget to include matching outfits, purses and, in extreme cases, jewelry. Women who show signs of this condition should immediately seek help from their banker. In advanced stages a pursectomy may be needed to remove the credit card.
Etymology: stiletto: (from the Italian word for dagger or switchblade) is an uncomfortable shoe with a high thin heel that women think look sexy but can lead to all kinds of foot and back maladies + osis: (suffix) a chronic or abnormal condition

Sandalous
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: san dal us
Sentence: Penny Loafer had no sole. She bought every pair of shoe in sight, whether she could afford them or not. She could not toe the line until she was strapped. Her boyfriend, Spike Oxford, thought she talked with a brogue and was about to give her the boot, as her behaviour became more sandalous. But Penny realized that if she pumped herself up, became less of a sneaker and held her tongue, she could over come this disease that Dr. Scholl specialized in. She was moved by the good doctor's words..."When you leave your footsteps in the sand, make sure they are not the mark of a heel!"
Etymology: Scandalous (giving offense to moral sensibilities and injurious to reputation) & Sandals (a shoe consisting of a sole fastened by straps to the foot)
