SHOE FETISH --- A NON SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT ABOUT FOOT AND SHOE FETISHES FROM A PSYCHOLOGICAL VIEW POINT
I found this through Google, no specific title, no specific, author and no specific certainty there is any more science in this summary besides a well written though. However it appears to make a bit of sense. You can judge for yourself, it does seem to belong here.
The foot fetish can be combined with other fetishes in any number of ways. Some balloon fetishists, for example, like to see the balloon stomped and popped by a woman wearing high heels. Some messy fetishists like to see women wearing pumps get into a shower... the turn-on is seeing the shoes get wet. Even robot fetishists can incorporate feet into their fantasy scenario. One robot fan likes to pretend to disassemble his mechanical lover and play with his feet. Some ponygirl trainers like to pretend to "shoe" their horses and pull rocks out of their hooves.

The foot fetish is the most common of all fetishes, so common, in fact, that it should probably be considered part of the "norm." Humans may very well be predisposed to eroticizing feet because feet have apocrine sweat glands... the same type of pheromone-producing sweat glands shared by armpits and the genital region. These smells play a huge role in sexual attraction for most mammals and humans are no different. It's quite possible that when proto-humans walked on all fours in the African veldt, foot odors were used to mark our paths and indicate our health and sexual availability. Unfortunately, in our culture feet have become taboo -- they symbolize dirtiness, animalness, ugliness and all of the things that we must keep under control and keep invisible.
Foot fetishists enjoy kissing, sniffing, licking, and caressing their partners' feet before, during or after sex. (Sucking toes is called "shrimping") Some might like their partners to jerk them off or screw them with feet. Some enjoy helping their partners put on shoes or pantyhose, or acting as masseurs and manicurists for feet. Some enjoy tickling feet. These are perfectly harmless activities, and many partners of foot fetishists enjoy this kind of loving attention. And why shouldn't they?
There are so many variations on the foot fetish that they can be hard to count. While most straight male foot fetishists prefer small female feet with high arches, some want smelly feet with callouses -- feet that have really been lived in. There are gay male, straight female and gay female foot fetishists as well.
Of course, the foot fetish overlaps with the shoe fetish and its subfetishes. Shoes are simply containers for all of the foot odors, as well as psychologically powerful as symbols of sexuality, power, and status. Some shoe fetishists have very specific ideas about what types of footwear excite them. Though the most common are women's high heeled shoes, even fashion boots, sneakers and clogs have their fans. Several websites are devoted exclusively to women's loafers with metal taps on the heels and toes. There are also gay male shoe fetishists, there are jackboot fans and motorcycle boot fans. In these cases, the foot fetish is combined with a leather fetish.
Another subset of the foot fetish is the pantyhose and stocking fetish. Shoes, pantyhose, and stockings are perfect receptacles for apocrine sweat gland odors, and "cook" the smells to a heady ripeness. To hear a shoe or pantyhose fan wax lyrical about his fetish is akin to listening to a wine connoisseur discuss the aromatic "bouquet" of his preferred
Bordeaux.
Trampling, crushing and kicking are elaborated play techniques for some foot and shoe fetishists, who wish to surrender to their partner's powerful feet and shoes as a weapon. Feet are really just another part of the human body, one with a tremendous number of very sensitive nerve endings. Incorporating foot play into lovemaking can foster intimacy and trust. Shoe fetish play along with foot play might do the same. Shoe play alone might raise some concerns with a mate.
This posting was made randomly to all members on the shoe masturbation board at the AASF..
This was posted on the shoe fetish website ASFF.com ( alt.sex.fetish.feet websight )by a long time member Sally. It is fairly consistent with previous conversations on the internet and appears to portray this person’s views and interpretation of his fetish and all fetishes. It would seem psychiatrist or layman that the views and considerations may be equally valid. No one can see clearly into the human mind and it would also seem anyone without a fetish shares a perspective from a disadvantage where they are unable to know and feel why the fetish remains strong. The suggestion has been made that because in many situations and for many fetishists the penetration of a well made and designed used shoe can feel and smell significantly close to and replicates vaginal intercourse. It seems I would have to agree with this very easy to verify fact. The writer concludes by asking for others views. The material and exposure of fetish behavior is quickly growing on the internet with the anonymity it offers for the fetishist.
