Isn't it a pity that those beautiful shoes, that Vanity describes so rightly as a work of art, should so often have fetish associations. Like her, I appreciate what the heels do for my posture and my legs, and in my case, as I'm already tall, emphasising my height. I would never wear shoes that restricted my movement to the extent that I could only walk with difficulty. In fact I take great delight in the fact that for me walking in 51/2" and even 6" heels is so effortless and even my progression to 61/2" isn't proving too much of a problem. Some years ago I was chatting to a couple of colleagues about shoes and the difficulty some women have walking in heels and consequently look clumsy in them. The remark was made to me that, 'You always look comfortable in your heels.' That's terribly important, I'm only going to wear outrageous shoes if I can do so without looking as if it is an effort. Vanity, I agree, the 'challenge' aspect is important, the feeling of being able to do something easily which most women find unimaginable and I think that, in a perverse sort of way, I rather enjoy the censure and criticism that occasionally results from wearing unconventional clothes! And who could fail to enjoy any male attention that seems almost inevitable?!
The sensual attraction focuses mainly on the sound - that quite unique 'click-clack' that is so different from the sound of lower heels
and has a sort of authority about it, the tactile 'massage' effect on the balls of the feet, which I think can be something of an erotic feeling, and the cause of the 'turn-on' aspect of heels, and of course the effect on the muscles, not just the calves, but through the thighs, and how that alters the way I walk. Of course I love the way the shoes look as well. How satisfying it is, having chosen a particular outfit, to see how putting on my shoes can transform it. I love to try different shoes with whatever I'm wearing to get just the right pair to suit the clothes and my mood. Of course I enjoy the look of them as well, partly the sheer curvaceous elegance of the shoes themselves, and not least the way in which my instep continues almost a straight line from leg to toe. Although I freely admit to having a stronger than the average 'thing' for high shoes, and to some extent shoes in general ( I can even get excited over a new pair of hiking boots!), I would hardly be writing like this otherwise, it is in no way a fetish in the true sense of that word. In fact, as I think I've said elsewhere, I doubt if there are many men either who are true fetishists.
I'm sorry to have written so much, but you know what I'm like when you get me on to the subject of shoes ..........!
Love,
Anne Louise
