So... about the shoes
Are we just failing the article having only a single pair here and at Wikicommons? or there legitimately aren't actual photographs of an actual collection and this is just a successful urban myth / political hit job? — LlywelynII 13:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Vice has a piece here (with photos!) Howard the Duck (talk) 17:16, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- A large part of the collection is on display at the Presidential Palace in Manila. Saw it myself. Davidkt (talk) 23:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Cultural Influence
In the "Portrayals in news and art" section, adding the 1988 Big Audio Dynamite song "2000 Shoes" would be appropriate as it's entirely about Imelda. Lyrics here - https://genius.com/Big-audio-dynamite-2000-shoes-lyrics Davidkt (talk) 23:21, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

"Adopted"
Can someone remove "adopted" from the list of Imelda's children on the infobox? Looks off.
