"He liked to smell them," said Lt. William H. Graham.
Police said the recovered shoes may be related to the burglaries of three Waukesha public high schools and a middle school over the past two years.
The 26-year-old Kenosha man, identified as Erik D. Heinrich by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, worked for a cable company and collected keys to the schools as he responded to calls, Graham said. The same man was convicted in 2005 for stealing shoes from Kenosha Tremper High School.
"I'm laid off," Heinrich said in court Tuesday. "I was working as a forklift operator." He was charged with three counts of burglary in Waukesha County Circuit Court, the Journal-Sentinel reported.
Police arrested him after a security video showed him entering North High School on May 20 and leaving with some items, authorities said.
Officers searched the man's home and a rented storage unit on Thursday, recovering the shoes along with school yearbooks, keys, a bolt cutter and other items.
"I thought it was another student," Waukesha South sophomore Kirstin Cornwall, 15, said. However, when Cornwall, who said her tennis shoes were stolen last year, learned the suspect was in his late 20s, she called it "creepy."
"What kind of weirdo goes around stealing shoes?" she told the Journal-Sentinel.

- What concerns me is that the article says he "collected keys" from schools as he made calls and I guess that's how he got in. That is scarey. Thank God he didn't do anything else.
What a very strange thing to want to do. - Reply to this comment
- toldyouso21: Some of us despise all make-up (not to mention blondes; I can't tell one from the other). The more a woman tries, the less we care. A face should have character.
A few of us are even interested in a woman's personality---and after hearing that disgusting,
pandering, unprofessional remark Couric made about Navy SEALS, some of us can't take her seriously at all. - Reply to this comment

LOL. YOu must be a male. Men are suckers for all the make up and the fake boobs or whatnot--we women see the GROOVES around her mouth, (se those 2 very deep semi circles on each side of her mouth---see the crow feet and the lightened areas around her eyes that means a lot of concealer is being used?) the tightened skin near her eyes and the roots before they are retouched--we know how to see a woman, look past the make up and pretty much know what we are looking at. Men get caught up in the pretty wrapping paper and forget it is not the gift but a cunningly arranged marketing cover to make you want the gift. rotflmao. - Reply to this comment
- I have often wondered--how people develop such odd fetishes and how, they ever equate these things with eroticism and sexual gratification. I mean, to get from fvcking to sniffing shoes or eating craaap or licking feet/shoes , or wanting to fvck kids or even getting their azzes whipped or wanting pee all over you--HOW IN THE HELLLLLLLLLLL DO PEOPLE EVEN MAKE SUCH A FRIGGIN LEAP IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Do they start out with weird brains or does something so traumatic happen to them--that they just invert into sexual perversions? - Reply to this comment
- maybe they should arrest the officer who arrested him for having looked the other way for so long ... if he was breaking into schools, then everyone must have known about it as there are more disciplinarians found around the school houses and playgrounds than around the rest of society put together: includeing corporate

- CBS needs to move the picture of Katie Couric from its present position, which is right next to this story about shoe sniffing! Some moron might get the crazy idea that they would like to sniff Katie's shoes!
