"Shoes" is a song recorded 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.[1] The song was co-written by Twain and 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.[2] 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".
