Partner Presentation (Part 5)
When we arrived at the restaurant, I was relieved to get a break as my left foot still hurt a lot due to being stood on by the high-heeled lady in the subway. I had quite some trouble walking, but managed to hide that from converse girl. When entering the restaurant, I noticed that it was almost completely empty and even more important: I did not recognize anyone I knew. We entered and a waiter behind the bar said:
- Hello. Just pick any table you like.
We chose a small table with two chairs. The table was square and the chairs were on opposite sides. I sat in a way that my back faced the entrance. While sitting down, I checked how things looked under the table: it was supported in the center by one leg. On the ground it was split into four wooden arms which extended to each side of the table to provide stability. These arms were entirely on the floor, about 8 cm wide and maybe 6 cm high. The relevant thing for me was that each person sitting at the table had such an arm between the legs and I could put my feet on top of the arms hoping that converse girl would place hers on top. As the arms were rounded on the top, I figured it would still be comfortable to put my bare feet on them and also not too painful when additionally her hard converse soles pressed down on them. The idea behind that was that she might not be able to distinguish whether she rested her feet directly on these arms or on top of mine. So this was a very promising setup and therefore I put both my feet on these arms moving my toes so far that they could "grab" the other side. With this I hoped that they would feel like part the arm in case she stepped on them.
But for now, she kept her feet to herself and also leaned forward. We chatted a bit and after some time the waiter brought us the menus. To read the menu, converse girl leaned back and a few moments later she moved her feet forward and I felt her hard soles on my feet -- at the point where my big toes are attached to the rest of the foot as that was highest. It was not too much weight so I figured she had her heels still on the ground and crushed my feet with the waffle tread pattern under the forefoot. As I had hoped, she did not seem to notice that she had her feet on top of mine instead of on the wooden arms of the table so she just left them there. Of course, this was again heaven for me, but after while her tread was really cutting into my skin and the soles of my feet were pressed painfully against the narrow wooden arms. I might have underestimated that effect. Additionally, I started to fear that someone would see her having her feet on mine, but at least in the part of the restaurant I had in my view, there were no people yet.
After a while the waiter came back and took our order. When finished, converse girl leaned forward to hand back her menu and then she leaned back again. I could not only see that, but also feel it: while she was leaning forward, the pressure of her soles on my feet increased a bit. Right after she leaned back, I felt that she lifted her feet a bit -- one after another -- and then put them back on my feet again, but this time with more weight. Without actually being able to see how she moved her feet, I assumed that she brought her feet a bit closer to me and thereby lifting her heels from the ground. Now a different part of her converse soles pressed on my feet which felt like a sharp edge. I figured that this would be the position where the waffle tread pattern under the forefoot ends and rounded triangular section with the "Converse ALLSTAR" label begins. I thought: how great would it be if she moved her feet a bit more to print that label into the skin of my foot? But for now, she left her feet as they were.
With our feet like that, we kept chatting. My feet really started to hurt, but of course at the same time, this was again a jackpot position for me. Additionally, the pain was still far away from what I received from the high-heel trampling in the subway. After a few minutes, she removed both of her feet dragging her soles over my skin. She sat a little more upright and looked past me in the direction of the entrance. My heart jumped as I thought that what I had previously feared now became reality: we meet someone she and/or I know. She waved, so I also turned around and saw how two girls approached us.
One of these girls was in the same Spanish class as converse girl and I. She had black hair which was a little shorter than down to the shoulder. She was skinny and a almost as tall as converse girl. So far, I have only met her in Spanish class and there she always wore the same shoes: black leather high-heel slip-on ankle boots with a lug sole. The heel was about 10 cm high and roughly 5 cm wide - both from left to right and from front to back, but the back of the heel was round. The tread of the sole was quite deep, I would say at least 5 mm. It had the typical lug sole pattern: some cross-shaped cleats in the center of the forefoot and a ring (which was open towards the back of the foot) of hourglass-shaped (if someone has a better description, please let me know) cleats around them. Unfortunately, there was no tread under the heel. I tried to find a picture of similar boots and these ones come pretty close:

In case the link breaks, one may search for "SODA Glove by 2". In Spanish class, this girl sat directly in front of me so I had the chance to extensively study her boots previously. Of course when it was warm, I went to Spanish class in flip-flops and kicked them off as soon I was sitting there. It was then very exciting to see her arriving (she always came after me) with loudly clicking heels on the hard floor. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity where I could have put my feet under her boots as she was sitting too far away and additionally this would have been totally visible for everyone in the room. I had considered the option of asking her instead of converse girl for doing the partner presentation with me, but finally decided against it because I did not find her too attractive and I had a crush on converse girl, as mentioned. When I saw ankle boot girl arriving, the view to her feet was blocked, but I noticed that she was wearing black nylons and a dark-blue short skirt.
The other girl was one that I had not met before. She was rather short (maybe 1,60 m to 1,65 m), skinny and with blonde hair which was a bit longer then ankle boot girl's. I could see that she wore jeans, but her shoes were also not yet in sight. When the two girls came closer, I heard the clicking of heels, so my heart jumped again as this indicated that ankle boot girl could be wearing her ususal shoes. Then I noticed that converse girl got up, probably to welcome the other two girls. So I did the same, but I feared that they would immediately point out my bare feet. On the other hand, I really wanted to get my feet stepped on by ankle boot girl, so I figured the kissing-on-the-cheeks greeting would be an additional opportunity for that.
When the two girls reached us, we all said 'Hi', converse girl greeted the girl I had not met before and I greeted ankle boot girl. I tried to move my feet close to hers, but she did not step on them. After that, we changed greeting partners, so unknown girl and me introduced each other. Even though I had not yet gotten the chance to look at her shoes, I moved my feet close to hers during cheek-kissing, but again no luck.
Then the arrived girls each grabbed a chair from another table and while doing so, I glanced at their shoes: ankle boot girl indeed wore her usual ankle boots and the shoes of the other girl really surprised me: she wore classic buffalos! I had not seen those very often in the last years! I think it was the style 1348 (which I do not like as much as for example 1327 (clogs) or 1339). They were white with a bit of red. Here is a link to the current version:
https://www.asos.com/buffalo/buffalo-lo ... %20classic
I did not find the correct color, compared to the pictures in the link hers had a bit of red at least on the sides - both on the upper part and the soles. I also noticed that - similar to the jeans girl in the subway - buffalo girl's shoes were hidden to a large extent under her jeans which were quite wide around the feet.
When they had their chairs and turned back to our table (buffalo girl to my left and ankle boot girl to my right), buffalo girl must also have noticed my feet because she said:
- Isn't it too cold to be barefoot?
This also attracted the attention of ankle boot girl as she looked at my feet and asked:
- Did you not bring any shoes?
So there it was: the situation I had feared. But I had prepared a response which I now used:
- For me it's comfortable to walk barefoot. And today when I decided to accompany [converse girl], we were already at the entrance of the student residence and I did not want to go back to my room again to pick up some shoes, so I thought I can as well go barefoot. It might be a little cold, but I guess my feet are already trained so they do not have a problem. But I admit that it might have probably been a better idea to bring a jacket. It looks like it can rain any time. But too late, now I'm here, but at least I had luck that there was no rain yet.
This answer seemed to be unexpected for ankle boot girl as she said:
- Ah, ok, I must say I'm a bit surprised to hear that, but hey, why not? For me walking around barefoot in public would definitely not an option. I would be in constant fear that someone with shoes would step on my feet.
I replied:
- Sure, but in my experience this hardly happens.
- But when it does, it's really painful.
- Maybe, but I can't remember any occasion where this was a significant problem for me.
- For me, it's always a problem when someone steps on my feet!
And buffalo girl added:
- For me, too! But these shoes [she lifted one of her buffalos to show it] are really great: they make it almost impossible for people to step on my feet! At least accidentally.
I grinned and said:
- Sure, it would require a bit of climbing first.
The girls laughed and we all sat down. This was of course a perfect setup: a small table with converse girl still sitting on the opposite side of me, buffalo girl to my left and ankle boot girl to my right. Even though I really wanted the latter two to step on my feet, I did not bring them in a promising position as I did not want to risk any talk about that when the waiter was around. So I waited until he first brought the menus to the two girls and took their orders a bit later. Then I started to slowly move my feet: at first only forward until they touched the wooden arms of the table. As I had not touched any shoe so far, I then began to move my feet outwards. It did not take long and I felt the thick sole of the right buffalo on the small toe of my left foot. I retracted that foot again a bit and then concentrated on my right one. From the corner of my eye I could see that ankle boot girl sat with her legs crossed under the chair. Therefore I just moved my right foot in one go into her direction, left it there and started to wait.
The girls had already started to talk, mostly among themselves, but sometimes I was also included in the conversation. At one point, there was a pause in the conversation. Ankle boot girl had a sip of her drink and then looked like she wanted to change the way she was sitting. Before I even fully realized that, I already felt the toe of her left boot hitting the small toe of my right foot. She probably intented to bring her feet forward and to sit them down in one move as directly afterwards I felt her lug sole on top of my foot. She did not apply a lot of pressure, but the sharp edges of the cleats of the deep tread already hurt quite a bit. Of course she noticed that, retracted her foot, looked under the table and said:
- Oh, sorry.
Before I could reply, she continued:
- See? Now you already got your foot stepped on.
I also looked under the table and said:
- Hm, probably because I didn't give you enough space for your feet. Sorry for that.
She laughed:
- Wow, how cool is that?! I step on your foot and you apologize to ME!
- That's what a gentleman should do. Because I don't think it is too convenient for you when our feet collide, right?
- That's quite considerate of you, but when I step on your bare foot with my boot, I would think that it's inconvenient for YOU. I hardly feel it.
- I also hardly felt it. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have put anymore thought into it.
- So if I had simply left my boot on your foot, you would have said nothing?!
- Sure. Why should I bother you unnecessarily with that if it doesn't bother me?
- Hm ... I don't know. I guess I still find it hard to believe that you wouldn't care if I stepped on your bare feet with my boots.
- What can I say? If you want to try, feel free...
- I don't know.
She looked again under the table - possibly at my feet and also at her boots. While she was still thinking, I looked at the other two girls. Buffalo girl seemed to be intrigued by the idea of stepping on my bare feet with shoes as she said:
- To me, that sounds intersting. May I try?
- Sure.
- Cool. That's a chance that one does not get every day.
She looked under the table to see where my foot was and I observed what she would be doing down there. When she spotted my left foot, she carefully placed her right buffalo on top of my instep. It was an amazing feeling when the hard platform sole lightly pressed down. It was a bit cold and wet and I could also feel the tread which did not have too sharp edges (as the one on ankle boot girls shoes). Buffalo girl asked:
- Is that ok for you?
- No problem, that's just a light touch on my foot.
- Ok.
Buffalo girl then simply rested her shoe on my foot, her heel was on the floor. This added some pressure compared to her initial touch. She then did not pay any more attention to her feet, instead she looked at ankle boot girl who had followed the process and who now said:
- Ok, if [bufflo girl] steps on your foot with THESE shoes and you sit there as if it was nothing, I guess my boots are also ok.
With that she placed the lug sole of her left boot on the instep of my right foot and then looked at me. I said:
- One can feel a little bit.
As buffalo girl, she also left her boot on my foot and her heel on the floor without paying any more attention to it. With that she pressed firmly on my foot and I could clearly feel the sharp edges of her deep tread cutting into my skin. I hoped that she stayed like that so I could later see the lug sole pattern being imprinted into my foot.
With all feet now in position, our attention came back from under the table and we continued to talk as if there was nothing. Both buffalo girl and ankle boot girl kept their feet on top of mine which became quite painful after a while. Especially ankle boot girl's lug sole due to its many sharp edges.
At some point, the waiter brought our food, so we put our napkins on the laps. Afterwards we moved a bit closer to the table which meant that we had to lift ourselves a bit from the chair, pull the chair forward and sit down again. As the two girls on my feet did that, they both did not step off, instead I felt a huge increase in pressure from their shoes while they stood up. Very painful again, but of course also very exciting!
We finished lunch and then kept sitting there to chat some more. The hard shoes of the two girls were on my feet the entire time! When there was a larger pause in the conversation, converse girl checked the time and said:
- I'd better get going. I still have a lot of work to do.
So we all stood up say goodbye to her. The two girls on my feet of course had to stand up before me. While doing so, they simply removed their feet from mine, but without dragging their shoe soles over my feet. We all did the cheek-kissing thing with converse girl who thanked me for the invitation and then left. I excused myself to go to the restroom as I really had to pee, but I also wanted to check out the shoe prints on my feet. When I reached a toilet cabin and looked at my feet, I saw an amazing result: my right foot had the deepest lug sole imprints and in particular the cross-shaped cleats in the center were clearly visible. On my left foot I could see the buffalo tread pattern, but it was not that spectacular as it is in general larger in structure, so only a part was visible. On both feet there were sections where the girls had applied particularly much pressure (probably on the edges of their shoes because they had their feet a bit tilted) and which were blue due to that. I also saw a blue part were the high heel of the lady in the subway had dug in, but I could not recognize a clear heel print there.
When I returned to the table, the two remaining girls then used to opportunity to also see the restroom. I enjoyed again listening to the clicking of ankle boot girl's heels and then waited for the girls to come back and when they did, they sat and without looking down, they placed their shoes back on my feet. I noticed that this time they both brought their heel down on my feet while the forefoot was on the floor. I impression also was that they were pressing a bit harder than before. This was very suspicious to me and I figured that they had probably talked in the restroom about my strange behavior. I felt really uncomfortable about that, but on the other hand I thought that if the result of such a conversation is that they intentionally press their heels into my feet, I can be very lucky. On my left foot there was the heel of a buffalo: the tread there did not feel a lot different than the tread under the forefoot, except that it additionally had the fine 'Buffalo' logo which I could actually feel being imprinted into my skin. On my right foot, the feeling was now completely different than before: instead of the rubber cleats I now felt a very hard block heel. Luckily it had quite a big area, but obviously no give at all, so i hurt quite a bit when she firmly pressed it down. I noticed again some sharp edges, one of them was particularly painful as it pressed on my toes - not on the big one, but on some of the smaller, more vulnerable ones. Of course I kept pretending that nothing was going on and restarted the conversation with:
- So what are your plans for the afternoon?
The girls told me that they had planned to do some sightseeing in a part of town which was relatively far away from the center. Ankle boot girl then asked me:
- And how about you? Have you planned anything already?
- No, I don't have any plans yet.
- Would you like to join us?
- Yes, that sounds good. Thanks for the offer!
So it looked like the dream would continue further: I would be walking around town barefoot with one girl in buffalos and one in high-heeled lug-soled ankle boots. Could this even be topped? We chatted a bit more and then payed our restaurant bills. When the girls got up - and with that off my feet - I felt a bit relieved as they had really crushed my feet under their heels. I waited until they had put on their jackets (I didn't bring one!) and then we headed to the restaurant exit. Of course I let them go first so I could get a good view at their shoe soles - the ones that had just crushed my feet! I could not see too many details (as I could not stare too much at their shoes due to the other people in the restaurant), but at least I noticed that the formerly white buffalo soles were grey due to dirt and had some stuff stuck in the tread.
