Liv famously quips, "Well, you can lead a tomboy to designer shoes, but you can't make her shimmer" .

This episode is a rare look at a "girly" Maddie, though it serves as a reminder that her sporty side is what truly makes her who she is.

The obsession goes so far that Maddie actually misses her first basketball game, forcing Liv to realize that she may have pushed her twin a little too far into the world of glitz and glam.

Liv is on a mission to help Maddie embrace her "inner sparkle" by gifting her a pair of incredibly comfortable, high-fashion pumps. While Maddie is skeptical at first, the "magic" of the shoes quickly takes over. In a classic "be careful what you wish for" twist, Maddie doesn't just become more feminine—she becomes completely obsessed with dresses, makeup, and her new heels.

While the twins are dealing with shoe-fever, Joey is facing his own hurdle: the school's shuttle run. In a surprising turn of events, Joey manages to beat Diggie’s athletic record—mostly out of pure terror while running away from Willow and the sight of his parents being affectionate.
