Shoe fetish

I have a serious shoe fetish, and I am not sure if it is a bad thing or not. I have had this fetish since I was a young child. I have gone through phases of prefering different shoe style, but I have been hooked on clogs and sandals for the last twenty or so years. Whenever I see someone in clogs or just a pair of clogs alone, I get extremely sexually aroused. I own several pairs of them, both men's and women's. I just go nuts when I see clogs. Am I nuts, or is this normal?

This doesn't make you nuts!
If you really think about it, the number of people who get turned on when they see a woman walking past in a pair of platform stillettos... -that's still a shoe fetish but a big part of the population seem to have that one. My boyfriend gets turned on if i walk into the bedroom wearing a pair of really high heels.. (or try to walk!)
So why not clogs. More unusual but still shoes and definately no reason to suggest you're nuts.

if it doesn't cause you any upset and you're happy with the way you are, it's only a problem if its a problem for you.

My advice is find someone to wear the clogs you have that don't fit you!

Thanks! I have found someone, but sometimes, I still get odd looks from people when they catch me eying their clogs.

I get strange looks also when I look at peoples dogs. ;^)

CLOGS, not dogs

ha, this is an old topic. i used to think my fetish was weird until i learned that many people have it. i do have something else that i don't think is normal though

I have a shoe fetish also.....ever since I was a kid and I'm 53 now. You will be surprised at the number of men who have this fetish and the number of women who accept it. My girlfriend tells me that it makes me unique in her eyes and she is more than willing to accomodate me and my so called needs.
I used to think I was nuts but not so anymore.

In reply to the young lady's problem with shoe fetishism, I say it is all right to have a fetish, as long as you are not troubled to the point where you think you might get arrested for it because you did not restrain yourself from expressing that fetish too far.

Fellow fetishists,

Check out this wonderful source of shoe porn (#shorn). I don’t know what I would do without this hookup; I’d prolly spend more time in the shoe section over at Walmart, videotaping strangers.

If you have any similar sites (free #shorn) please send them over.

Thanks and godbless in the name of shoes and shoe lovers everywhere.

Having a shoe fetish is an interesting subject that I have been researching and accumulated data on for well over 25 years. I have spent the last 10 or so years realizing that a shoe fetish can't be cured any more than an LGBT person can change their preferences. There are clearly varying degrees of social and anti-social behaviour regarding this fetish from isolated loner behaviour’s to perfectly social behaviour where the fetishist is able to cross over into the best of both worlds.

I have chosen to focus my research and help people, with that said, that want to understand a partners behaviour when they discover a secret shoe fetish and shoe collection, and those who need to break out of the closet and gain enough honesty to have an open discussion with a potential partner. I have found and seen over and over again that shoe fetishists, like any other behaviour, if they want to address it can find a way to have a partner or a social relationship that isn't as hidden.

I also have worked hard to help people who are ashamed of their shoe fetish, or help the partner that is threatened or jealous of a partners fetish to understand that having a preference for doing a shoe isn't the end of the world. Yes, correctly noticing, and I concur, that some may never find a way "Out of the closet". However, those who can focus their attention beyond the "Shoefetish-bootfetish" with honesty and integrity can find open minded partners to share a life with. The key is always honesty openness and remembering that you need to put your partner above the shoes and the reward could very well be shoes in ways you never expected. You can probably find more if you do a search for a few of the key words for topics on your "shoefetish bootfetish". There a lot of blogs and sites dedicated to the shoe fetish just look and you can find more.

One point that can also prove important is that if you decide as partner to try to treat a shoe fetish try to find someone who really understands it. Know up front it probably won't be cured. Most researches, in my view, incorrectly classify some aspects of the shoe fetish as deviant behaviour when in many cases it is no more than a variance and extension on self-stimulation play. Many still, absurdly think it can be cured. I'm one who thinks you learn to live with this fetish and integrate it into social behaviour because you will never cure it. If in puberty the first experiences were shoes that deep seated passion is never going away.

Would you put your family at risk learning about a shoe fetish before you make time to understand it? I think changing your life over a shoe fetish and self-stimulation shoe play might be a bit drastic. Perhaps you might never understand your partner’s fetish but I think it is worth making the time to try. You might just determine the hidden aspects were what troubled you more than the actual fetish. Many people with a shoe fetish are ashamed of their fetish and a little understanding can work well for both in a couple. Another view instead of being troubled consider putting on that sexy pair of black leather high heeled Jimmy Choo zippered boots and see what happens. If your with a loving partner my guess is that taking the boots out of the closet could double or triple a boring sex life into incredible activity. If your partner doesn't have a fetish, well that same pair of very sexy high quality boots turns men’s heads everywhere and might also increase your sex life. Sounds too simple? Sure there really are once and a while easy answers to complex questions and you won't see a lot of talk about black leather boots by many on this site. Don't worry you probably won't develop a shoe fetish if you play into it. However, if it turns out your having fun so what you’re in your own bedroom and no one is watching except the person who already loves shoes.

FULL DISCLOSURE; After many many years my shoe fetish is as strong today as it was at 12-13 years old. Yes, I also have a collection of used shoes. However, I control my fetish it does not control me, I have had a partner and a great intimate life (2-3 times activity per week) for many many years as well. I was always open and honest and all of the shoes in my collection are used, most I buy in my partner’s size and enjoys playing with them and wearing them for me. Sounds unusual or the exception? No, many of the people I have spoken with over the years have done the same. It is about honesty, openness, and integrity in your relationship and the golden rule of sexuality; Take care of your partner to the before you even think about taking care of yourself. My partner at first was concerned about other women's shoes I had collected, but we talked, openly, and I showed her they were coming from places like thrift stores, garage sales, and of course EBAY. Openness is better any day than living a secret life and one day getting caught in your deception. As for partners, be open early; don't try to convert someone who does not have an open mind. Move on.
