From the website:
A man suspected of stealing about 5,000 pairs of shoes in order to enjoy their odor has been arrested, police said Wednesday.
"I was enjoying their smell," Masashi Kamata, 28, a resident of Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, was quoted as telling investigators. "Indoor shoes for school sexually stimulate me. I couldn't throw away the shoes I obtained."
Why do all the shoes look the same? http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20061101p2a00m0na017000c.html - via Arbroath

The reason they all look the same is that in Japan children wear school uniforms, and look more or less the same throughout the country. These are the shoes they wear to school - they're made of a washable cloth, a bit like sneakers. By the way, when I lived in Japan there were also vending machines which sold porn mags and even USED panties from schoolgirls (better than a part time job in the supermarket). So the issue here is not that this guy is a pervert - he's just a thief!
