"Shoes" is a song by Canadian country pop singer Shania Twain. It was released as the lead single from the TV soundtrack Music from and Inspired by Desperate Housewives. The song was released on September 5, 2005 to country radio and later remixed for pop airplay internationally. The song was co-written by Twain and her then-husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, along with Tammy Hyler, Joie Scott, and Kim Tribble, marking one of only three songs (the others being "Leaving Is The Only Way Out" and "You Win My Love") by Twain and Mutt Lange to not be solely written by the two. It is the last studio recording issued by Twain prior to the dissolution of her marriage to Lange, and the penultimate Twain recording to feature any involvement from Lange. The song was written and recorded for use on the ABC television program Desperate Housewives. "Shoes" received mixed to negative reviews by critics but was noted to be a standout on the Desperate Housewives soundtrack. The song did moderately well on the Hot Country Songs chart, reaching as high as number 29. Twain has never performed the song live and after this song, she would not release another single until 2011's "Today Is Your Day". Song information The single was released for airplay in Australia and Europe, with a new pop mix. The pop mix removes the country influences and makes it more of a pop-rock song. A few adult contemporary stations in Canada played the remix of "Shoes" produced by Joe Bermudez. According to his website, the producers of the show wanted something more "hip" to play for the show, and that's why a third version of the song was made. In 2006 it was announced "Shoes" would be released commercially in the UK, but the release was never shipped from EMI to retailers, and was finally canceled. This was the second time a single release was canceled in the UK after "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" was canceled. Critical reception Billboard magazine's Chuck Taylor gave a fairly unfavorable review for "Shoes" saying "Twain certainly remains a major talent with plenty left to say, but these "Shoes" have no soul." AllMusic called the song "sublimely silly" and chose it as an AMG Track Pick.
