Do I Have A Foot Fetish?

Among all the compulsions to be or feel a bit strange, I find myself having some unusual visions or daydreams. I'm putting myself in the pressure cooker, sitting myself on the "hotseat", for this one.

For instance, when you've spent some time working in the shoe department of a department store(feeling like Al Bundy), maybe you start to see things. [This is an awkward expose/confession.] This is no celebrity-stuffed Macy's commercial. I've never been a shoe person. I never understood(and maybe still don't) why some women obsess about shopping so often for shoes. That was before I had to work with them. [And, yet, I still get sick to my stomach when I see or hear about any woman buying "tons" of shoes(purses or just about anything, for that matter).] For me, when I look at women's shoes, I tend to picture women IN them. And, sometimes, it just takes off from there:P When I picture these women, I see their feet, legs, figure, hair, outfit...the whole package. I see them in (fantasy) scenes. Which truly brings me to the question. 

But, when I think of people with foot or shoe fetishes, I picture someone who likes to suck toes or drink out of shoes. I am disgusted by both of those ideas.

I could easily be a women's shoe fashion critic(not sure about being a shoe designer) or a fashion designer/coordinator(probably one of the first who is straight and with good taste?). I feel like I completely understand the balance of style and function/comfort.

So, I'm asking you, the readers, do I have a foot--or rather a shoe--fetish?

While I'm stewing the grey matter and exposing the pores, here's another juicy lil tidbit for ya. Call me crazy(please don't:P), but when I see a young mother(with or without the husband/father nearby) with her child in a stroller, I often find myself imagining the mother(again, with/without the husband/father) in sexual situations...THE sexual situation...which resulted in the procreation of said child. It comes on, just like the shoe visions, in a flash of light and darkness. A brief second or two. But, clear as day. What do you make of that? Anyone else experience this?

Ok, Brainy's tired. Take five.

[Let me know when it is safe to uncover my eyes or come out of hiding.]

I wouldn't really consider that a shoe fetish... it merely reflects the fact that a woman's choice in footwear often reflects a lot about her. Sexy shoes = sexy woman. Plus shoes are a lot easier for a woman to be expressive with than clothing is.

As per the mom thing - I have this weird thing where whenever I see a pregnant woman or woman with babies I think about the fact that she had to have sex to get there. Not really anything graphic, but it's just weird to know that this complete stranger was having sex for SURE some time x months ago, and the whole world knows it.

peace_seeker, isn't that the same thing I said about mothers/kids?:P And, I don't think that is the point about the shoe thing, either. Sexy is often relative to the whole "eye of the beholder" thing and personal taste. I'd notice a woman's outfit before I notice her shoes. So, the outfit must say more about her than the shoes. It's just when I am looking at the shoes, I picture outfits and the women in them...like I said.

heatherslife, you just might have good taste:P Heh. I've seen that site already for costume ideas. But, not everything there is in good taste. Some is a bit skimpy and sleazy, if I recall my last visit correctly.

I used to wear very high heel shoes in my younger years, many around 10 cm (4") high. It made me feel taller, more attractive and sexier.....

However, now I have to pay a very high price in my older years..... Problems with very high arched feet. Not only feet that are painful but also wrecked my ankles, knees and tendon.....

Today, I can't wear high heel shoes at all. But still I never wear tennis shoes (runners) because I don't feel feminine wearing them. Many cute low heel or flat shoes in the market, and they are helathy for women's feet.

Sorry I missed your questions... I think it is quite normal for a guy to like a long shapely legged lady in sexy shoes..... You are not necessarily a shoe fettish

As for pregnant women or women with a child..... The other day on TV I saw a program about many todays single independent women choose to get pregnant through sperm bank, rather than with a man.....So it is wrong to imagine that all women get pregnant the natural way.....LOL

Sorry to hear about your legs/feet, Gwat. That is the very reason I focus on shoes that are sensible as well as sexy. Some heels are "just for show". Maybe good for photo ops and the like but not daily walking.

Gee, thanks for bursting the bubble on the birthing matter;/:P Kinda stole my thunder there. But, it won't change my fantasy-generating mind, nope:>:P

sounds like u've got a shoe fetish more than a foot fetish.... the style of shoe sparks a fantasy for u. i find women's shoes very sexy too & often find myself watching my own move as i walk past any kind of reflective surface....altho i kinda check out the whole package more often as well hahaha i used to just watch my shoes tho....especially if they were a particularly sexy pair.

i think another part of this might have to do with the fact that the porn industry pushes that on y'all as well... what's one of the first things u see when u walk into a porn shop? a wall of shelves holding 6 inch stilettos & clear platform shoes with all kinds of intricate and/or brightly colored straps/studs/spikes/sparkles/sequins/rhinestones etc....

look at back in the days of foot binding....there was nothing sexier than a tiny pair of shoes - no matter how much pain that poor woman had to endure to fit into them.

maybe it's a male trait....just something ur attracted to for some reason....something about the shape a woman's foot takes when it's in a nice shoe.....not to mention the effect it has on the rest of her lower body (i.e. flexed calves, thighs, butt etc) it accentuates the female figure to be on tip-toes as opposed to flat feet.

the young mother thing i think might have a deeper explanation but i won't go into it for fear of sounding crazy myself. just kno that i have similar experiences. not sure why u mentioned the father figure so much tho... i found that strange but i suppose it's significant to u for some reason...

I was also going to mention...why do women's shoes have to be SEXY? I think there are shoes out there that do just as much good being PRETTY and making women look BEAUTIFUL or NICE. Everything does not have to be SEXY. There is a limit to that before it just gets to be like a pizza piled up with cheese til your heart stops after one slice.

Now, foxxie, you admit it:P And, after that talk about my other comment:P Thanks for the porn explanation:P I wouldn't really know since my video exposure has been quite limited and I never go to such a depraved shop. But, thanks for the education:P Tell me, where can I find the...heh!:P

Also, I never thought about the leg muscles being accentuated by the raised heel. Interesting.

I despise the thought of foot binding. I am not into inflicting pain.

A deeper explanation that might make you look crazy? Hey, as long as it doesn't make ME look crazy, spill it:P

Don't worry, I check out women's shoes all of the time, and I'm a straight female. Including my own when I walk past a window, like foxx_flie, because they're so damned hot!

A fetish means you must have certain stimulation to orgasm...admiring women's shoes and building a fantasy from it does not mean you have a fetish, but if you need women's shoes to get off, that is a shoe fetish.

And the mother/child thing, I find it amusing that we look at a mother and child and know that she had to have sex get that way. It's like there's this naughty/innocent thing going on at the same time...really tame in the grand scheme of things. I think there's far kinkier things in the world to think of!

sexy/pretty/beautiful...they are all tied together. just because something is 'sexy' doesn't mean it's automatically tied to sex. sexy is (at least for me) often just another way to say beautiful or pretty....

like that comment about the pizza tho hahahaha u may have deterred me from eating it for a while... don't want my heart to stop! lmao

i think just about everyone despises the thought of foot binding; i was just making a point about how the female foot/shoe has long been a sex symbol.

hmmm... well perhaps u are actually picking up on memory from the women? i kno i often have these 'flashes' from people i simply pass by on the street (not always about sex, but sometimes that too)...more interestingly i have found that things i get flashes of when i first meet someone are actually true after i get to know them/talk to them. maybe i sound like a kook but i kno it's real & the guy ('beast') that i talk the most about in my posts (and the one i'm addicted to - and the only one btw that i'm - having sex with) seems to have the same sort of sensitivity, or whatever u wanna call it. there's so much more to it... i just wonder if maybe u can 'see'

i could be wrong tho....maybe u just have an overactive imagination hahaha especially since u don't seem to be the only who does that...

Foxx, I still think--and I dont give a fook what you think!:P heh.--that the word sexy has a tendency to inspire some sort of sexual influence. You can't have sexy without sex:P badumching.

"i think just about everyone despises the thought of foot binding; i was just making a point about how the female foot/shoe has long been a sex symbol."

--that did nothing for the argument:P There is still nothing sexy about binding feet in such a torturous way.
That's like saying those Saw movies are hot:P BLEH!:(

Well, I know I'm partially empathic, but I am not sure about that memory factor...cripes, that would be creepy:P Gee, just what I need...picking up on sex scenes in my brain that I am not a part of;/

I dont even like to watch in movies!:P

Oh, I know my imagination runs wild...it was on fire today giving people tons of ideas at work...like a popcorn popper...it only stopped when my brain "melted" under strain/overload.

lol well i really couldnt stop laughing at how scared u were to say all that lol. your reactions were quite funny. but about ur "fetish" i just think u associate certain woman with the shoes they have on. if its a high heel you will think of the girl wearing something sexy and what u consider to look sexy with those shoes and you just put the whole puzzle together. you get wat im saying? i think u just picture the shoe and what you would want YOUR woman to be wearing in those shoes. its your fantasy.. maybe u like girls to keep their shoes on while in the act too lol. haha

::whaah whaah!:: lmao j/p i feel u...when i was a kid i had issues with that word (i guess either because it had the word 'sex' in it or it implied sexual connotation as u stated - point won :oP) i also thought the phrase 'ooh la la' was dirty hahahahaha!!

and it did too do something for the argument! at one time there were people (men) that actually found that attractive. :oP 'i don't give a fook what u say'

I'm a very happily married 29 y/o guy, and have a couple of kids...but I also look at a young girl / woman with a child, and even moreso one that is pregnant and think about the happenings that took place to cause the pregnancy. And when my wife was pregnant with my kids, I honestly thought it was the sexiest look on her that I had ever seen. I mean, looking at something we did in a moment of passion, and seeing the result for 9 months afterward...just has this effect.

Now onward to the foot/shoe topic. I've too always thought my wife had the sexiest feet..with or without shoes complimenting them. But thinking about first impressions, when i talk to a girl or notice a nice looking female, I find myself looking at her shoes / feet and how they are taken care of. It says alot for her and how she takes care of herself. I've often wondered why female feet are viewed as a sex symbol, and that is everywhere you look. Watch a few hours of tv and you'll see several commercials for foot scrubs, polish, shoes that show almost the whole foot. Lots of tv shows and some commercials show women barefoot. The female foot is apparently an eye-grabbing feature that advertisers use to catch our attention.

I don't personally see women's feet on TV and feel attracted. Of course they are far more graceful than any man's foot. And, I do see those commercials for Veet shaving cream with the VERY attractive brunette who either discards her stockings or pulls a skirt up to become a dress at a party. But, am I looking at her legs or feet? Not so much. I just tend to judge footwear like a work of art. And, I really get worked up about women's choices:P
