在这部赫尔佐格吃他的鞋纪录片/短片片中,为了激励年轻的电影人埃罗尔·莫里斯，赫尔佐格打下一个著名的赌：如果对方能拍出部电影，他就吃掉自己的鞋子。结果莫里斯拍出了纪录片《天堂之门》，赫尔佐格认赌服输，没有食言，硬是在纽约UA影院的首映式上当着上千名观众吃掉了自己的一只烹饪了5个小时的皮鞋。《赫尔佐格吃他的鞋子》后来也成为了一部纪录短片。在吃鞋子之前，赫尔佐格还有关于电影的道理要讲：“吃鞋是一件蠢事，但人生有的时候就要干些蠢事。一个成年人在他的一生中，本来应该吃一回自己的鞋子，或者干点其他类似的事。这话说给所有那些想要拍电影却不敢上手的人，别为资金、剧本烦恼太多，电影是运动，不是美学，动手拍就是了。”
A passionate cook, acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog stuffs some culinary aromatics into his shoe and uses the laces to truss it like a chicken, before he sticks it into a pot with water and duck fat to stew it. It is so that he can bring the stewed shoe to one of the first screenings of Errol Morris' debut film Gates of Heaven (1978) to eat it. This act will fulfill his loss of a bet to Morris, who he met as a student filmmaker, that he would never be able to make a movie. The bet was not Herzog's attempt of a jab against Morris, but rather to support a struggling but gifted Morris in his quest to do whatever was required to finance a movie project. In the process of eating the shoe, Herzog wants to encourage other aspiring filmmakers, and to set an agenda of increasing what he calls adequate images as a true reflection of the world.
