New York, NY -- Keira Knightley has a shoe fetish and doesn't want to kick the habit.

Knightley tells gossip reporter Baird Jones that she loves shoes so much that she will often buy a pair she likes even if they're not in her size.

Case in point: The British beauty recently bought a pair of shoes that were a size too small because they were on sale.

Despite that, she's hoarding the shoes and admits, "I won't even give them away to a friend who can wear them. I won't give them up."

Now, the precious but too-small shoes sit on her mantle as artwork and, in her words, "they have done just fine there."

Knightley's latest film, "King Arthur," opens July 7.
