Which came first: boots or boot fetishism?

Most of you would probably say "boots", but what if there once was this shoemaker who had this undescribable, formless urge hammering in the back of his head, and then one day he decided to make a special pair of shoes for no proper reason at all, and only after he'd finished the shoes he realized "This! This is it!", the answer to his mysterious need, so boot fetishism actually came first?

please revise your definition of "fetish"

I spent a whole week once reading boot fetish slash and it's not especially interesting but it is odd. The weirdest story was about a guy who made a magical pair of six-inch stiletto kidshin knee boots that he gave to the object of his lust. The MAGIC part was they never came off her feet, even for bedtime, showers, and exercise on the stationery bike. And so he CONTROLLED her and could always lust after her (she was a coworker). One day after weeks of begging he removed them and her feet had adjusted only to wear them so she had to go thru special foot training: wearing 5" heels for a month or two, 4" the next. This made him even more turned on. The guy never did anything, not even jerking it, he just sat around being horny.

So the answer is: I don't know.

Was it actually slash or just erotica? Because I'm picturing Kirk tottering around the bridge of the Enterprise in purple patent leather gogo boots while Spock just stares, transfixed.

It was all labelled TOTALLY HARDCORE XXX but it was just, yeah, guys looking at women in the elevator & thinking things like "what angel sewed those boots to fit her calves so perfectly?"

― Abbott, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 22:41 (eighteen years ago)

ha!

The reason I was reading this is I was looking for cool boots to buy online and I stumbled upon a whole site of it and I read it all because it was so weird and so sexless and then my eyeballs melted and I still didn't find any goddamn cool boots to order until four years later.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 22:43 (eighteen years ago)

Oh and i guess not technically slash entirely, no famous characters exceppt Betty & Veronica in one.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 22:50 (eighteen years ago)

Is Veronica some sidekick to Betty Page?

Ah, those comics were never published in Finland.

― Tuomas, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 07:00 (eighteen years ago)

"jughead" must not translate.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 07:21 (eighteen years ago)

The girl on the left does look like Betty Page, doesn't she?

― Tuomas, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 07:37 (eighteen years ago)

Once, in a shoe shop, I noticed that some rather boring looking guy was ogling Gucci boots (high heels and reaching up to the knees). I figured that, hey, maybe his wife was a kinky dom type of woman who liked 800 euro type boots. Then I heard the salesperson say: "I'll have a look if we have it in YOUR size." I was just flabbergasted and looked at my sales assistant and she smiled:"Working in a shop can be interesting at times."

― nathalie, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 07:50 (eighteen years ago)

Tuomas, the girl who looks like Bettie Page is the one called Veronica.

― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 13:40 (eighteen years ago)

Now I'm confused.

― Tuomas, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 13:41 (eighteen years ago)

The chicken, or the bestial farmhand?

― Frogman Henry, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 13:46 (eighteen years ago)

Betty is the blonde one. Not to be confused with notable brunette sex-symbols Bettie Page (pin-up model) or Betty Rubble (the Flintstones).

― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

I know, I was just kidding with you.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 5 April 2007 06:23 (eighteen years ago)

There's a really good novel about foot and shoe fetishism called 'Toesucker' by Geoff Nicholson (incidentally a Mark Sinker "looky liker")

Also,

what if there once was this shoemaker who had this undescribable, formless urge hammering in the back of his head, and then one day he decided to make a special pair of shoes for no proper reason at all..

Rather sexist to assume it was a he- it could have been an ur-Imelda Marcos?

Hey, it's not my fault your language has gendered personal pronouns, and that you have to use one of them even in cases of nondefinite gender.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 5 April 2007 07:35 (eighteen years ago)

You can use 'they' as a non-gendered singular pronoun.

― emil.y, Thursday, 5 April 2007 12:46 (eighteen years ago)

no you can't!

― gff, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:13 (eighteen years ago)

Yes you can.

― emil.y, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

ur-Imelda Marcos! WE MUST HAVE MADE THIS HAPPEN, IN THE PAST

― HI DERE, Thursday, 5 April 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

OK, this seems like as good a place as any - it's got shoe fetishes and it's got Tuomas. Erm, Nancy Friday. Good lord! I've just read the chapter entitled "penises, shoes, vaginas" and it's rearranged my atoms. I felt a bit embarrassed reading it on the train, in case anyone looked over my shoulder.

Are shoes *really* vagina substitutes? Is that why girls like shopping for them so much? Is that why men fetishise them?

(And now it makes me really worried that I'd always said I was immune to girly shoe frenzy, until a friend pointed out that I had EIGHT MILLION different pairs of slightly different styles of Chelsea Boots.)

i know like, MAYBE, two men who have ever had a shoe fetish.

Sometimes I want to know how to use the Internet the way pplains does. Not all the time.
