I think you could use regular expressions:

this tests for shoes case insensitive. (match also "shoesprostore")

if (/shoes/i.test(ele.Department)) { } 

this tests for the word shoes case insensitive. (match only "shoes")

if (/\bshoes\b/i.test(ele.Department)) { } 

edit:

this tests for the words shoe and shoes case insensitive.

if (/\bshoes?\b/i.test(ele.Department)) { } 

\b : start and finish of a word

? : the previous character may or may not be present

i (after the sencond /) : case insensitive
