This Fetish - thoughts

[Net King]

Pretty sure it has to do with the fact that men develop sexual "urges" much earlier on in life than women, which manifest into object-based fetishes if a physical connection can't be met ...

I was in an interesting (but no doubt common) situation. I had no sisters and because of shyness and teasing I could not properly relate to girls. Girl classmates had black Chuck type hitops for netball and some wore them all day. Seeing them was a turn-on. Also seeing people in rubber soled (especially crepe) shoes, also tennies with gummy soles. In thinking about it, this was probably a substitute for girls. Then dad got these ripple sole shoes. They had 16 flexible ripples which would grip the floor then squish when the ripples broke traction. Seeing them made me go hard and crazy. I was too scared to express my feelings in case I was sent off to a mental hospital or suchlike. In reality I think he would have understood. When I was older and he had another pair, I would get up in the middle of the night, put them on and go for a walk outside. I loved hearing the soles rasp on the rough road surface. This made me go all hard. When I was old enough and could afford them I got my own pair but was too shy to wear them until I left home. The tip of my dick just loved those ripple soles. I later purchased another pair, but my partner hated them. I was lucky, she understood my fetish and even gave me some shoe jobs with them.
Looking back on things, I wish I had borrowed dad's ripple sole shoes and rubbed my dick on the soles. That would have been real fun. There are other things I would have done differently too.

Pretty sure it has to do with the fact that men develop sexual "urges" much earlier on in life than women, which manifest into object-based fetishes if a physical connection can't be met (much easier to snag a pair of sneakers from your middle school crush than get a footjob from them). I firmly believe that foot fetishes stem from how our brains are wired, and our preference for sneakers, heels, boots or flats is just that--preference. I know that I used to exclusively only go for sneakers or cloth flats/slip-ons, but also enjoy heels and boots in my late 20s (particularly from authoritative women). The fact that I'm on the spectrum I'm sure plays a part as well as it'a kind of a fixation for me.

Very interesting! I’m 47 and found out last year that I’m on the spectrum as well. It has given me an explanation for so many things in my life. I was never molested as a child, so that theory about the evolution of this fetish doesn’t apply to me. In my case it started with sneakers then moved to heels/flats in my teens. I never got into any other kinds of shoes.

Please excuse ignorance and any possible offence, I mean none, but while I am aware autism can result in increased intensity leading towards obsessive behaviours and actions, is there often / generally / sometimes, some sexual trend associated to the condition also? in addition, is sexual abuse a more common occurrence among those with it, otherwise, why was that matter part of your comment.
Regarding abuse, unfortunately, from experiences in my life, I believe early sexual abuse can cause sexual, personal and relationship issues, even by proxy, while in addition, there is concern at the long term effects of now having such easy access to every variety of porn online.
I made a section for discussion of the difficulties there can be having a shoefetish, as it was beginning to take over another thread, as perhaps a little here also - apologies klausdaniel, but how would females fit into that idea as well? given current thought here, that it is predominantly males who develop a sexual desire for shoes.
While this fetish is certainly complex, I would not think a causative link between having a shoefetish and having been subjected to early sexual abuse is likely to exist, or be easily proven, although perhaps a carefully considered poll among us, might give a different perspective.

. It got her interested, and she said "Why not, yes!" She smiled a lot, the idea really pleased her! We kept talking for a long time. She explained to me that she loved sneakers since her childhood, that she had no high heels, that she only liked very soft and pliable sneakers, her favourite designs, etc...
So yes, I confirm: Sneaker-loving girls do exist!

There are girls that like much sneakers but only because them are comfy and for aesthetic appearance, never for sexual utility or appearance.

Women have fetishes that can be different from men, unfortunately they have no thoughts or sexual pleasure for the sneakers, in any case.

The development of a fetish can have different reasons, not necessarily for bad causes (abuse, lactation problems).

Basically we consider this: we really like sneakers as an object and aesthetically, the use and comfort for us and for girls.
We like the look or aesthetic appearance of girls wearing sneakers, what they can express and reveal about herselfs (personality, ways to being and other stuff).

There are experiences in our life in which sneakers and girls may have been a detail or active part of someone and in some episode that have captured our attention and curiosity, maybe something nice that we would have wanted very much or imagined, up to stimulate fantasies and activate sexual or mental pleasure.

On fetish sneakers everybody has his own preferences/tastes, different fantasies and ways of getting sexual arousal.

It can be useful to ask yourself about sneakers and girls: What do I really want? What do I like and attract me? What do they represent to me and what I looking for in them? Why and what situations and behaviors of girls (wearing sneakers) make me excited? I just want a part (feet) of they or whole person?
What differences do you notice when a girl wears sneakers and when she wears other shoes? or between her (with sneakers) and another girl with different shoes?
Over the fantasies in the mind, what can I do in real life to talk about or get situations about/with sneakers and girls and then reach sexual situation?

It would be great investigate more about this fetish!

I can tell you how everything started in my life regarding this fetish. It all started at the end of the 70s, in my neighborhood there was a boy whose parents could buy him brand shoes, in this case, Nike or Reebok had not yet arrived in my country, they were a rarity, and Adidas had just arrived. And this boy had some black Adidas Country Ripple I think, and logically they were much better than the poor sneakers that my parents could buy, and I think that's where my fetish started, I think that because of the way they had, they were like erotic for my mind of 8 or 9 years old. Those curves, the straps on each side, the sole, everything had an appeal. Later in 1987 approximately, there were some Adidas (Nike had not arrived in the country yet) used by women who had a red plastic or rubber heel, supposedly to soften the impacts and were natural leather color and gray fabric . I was super excited to see how the girls dirty them, the leather was stained by use, it was shocking. Also in that same year 1987, Adidas New York was very popular, another exciting item for me.

Hi klausdaniel.
Despite my own consuming desire for shoes, I admit do not understand desire trainers / sneakers or original Croc styles and Uggs, but I do find all different aspects of the fetish interesting, and like to know more.
.
I think I might have related experience, as in my early twenties, I was inside training and playing indoor sports, and left my - I think Addidas, outside my locker.
Returning later one day, when I put them on, I found one was unnaturally wet inside.
My immediate thought was that someone had taken a pee in it, although no standing water or smell, and so perhaps it had been taken to the toilets to enjoy, then washed of evidence, with pee then water perhaps.
.
I will never know the exact circumstances, but in yours from what you say, it is nothing of the owners gender, only the trainers / sneakers, the objects themselves which excite sexual interest, but have you never seen an unbranded pair which looked sexually appealing? and if an occasion when no brands were available to you, have you / would you, use other?

There are lots of fetishes that are more common among one sex or the other, but I think online spaces skew the ratio even more because women get flooded with unwanted attention if they participate openly. The only way that attention is worth anything is if they monetize it.

My answer to your question is yes: there was a brand called ATOMIK which made sports shoes in the best style of the classic PUMA for running. Those were bought by my parents and I remember taking them to the bathroom and rubbing my dick against the logo on the heel. I think I was about 8 years old.

Once, a girlfriend I had told me "do you love sneakers more than me?"

[klausdaniel]

I love the smell that female feet generate in the shoes, how they stain the inside of them, the marks on the insoles, I love licking all that.
But we already know, a woman is very sensitive to smells. The last time I went on a trip, I took a pair of SALOMON of mine that I always used without socks for approximately 4 or 5 months... We got to the hotel room, I took them off, and honestly the smell was more than intense. That made me have to put them away and, if possible, not step on the floor so much because the smell multiplied throughout the room and you couldn't sleep. That's why I also believe that there is a limit and you have to respect it. At least I am lucky to have a woman who likes to play with me and my fetish.
