Did he have a shoe fetish?


I've notice how he loved to shine shoes in many episodes. He would do it with such desire. Is that a fetish or not?

Matlock was a shoe whore

I realize this post was years ago, but I think Matlock was not only a stickler for having shined shoes, but he also mentioned in the first episode that shining his shoes calmed his nerves or otherwise relaxed him.

To say that he had a shoe fetish, would generally mean that he got some kind of sexual gratification from footwear. Such things are never shown nor implied in the show so I would not say it is a fetish at all.
