Discussing my foot and high heel fetish

[slingfan]

I've been a long time reader of this forum but first time posting. I'm a 27 year old male from Australia and I've had a fetish for high heels, women's sandals and feet for as long as I can remember. I've been searching for a while to find people to discuss this with, as it's not something I feel comfortable bringing up around my friends as I feel they may think I'm weird, even though feet and high heel fetishes are almost as common as any other fetish (and everyone has some kind of fetish). I thought I'd discuss the background behind my particular fetish, what I like and my experiences, etc and see if anyone else has similar likes or experiences.

My primary fetish is high heels, sling backs and strappy sandals and in particular sling backs that keep slipping down and shoes that heelpop as a woman walks. However, i also love certain types of ballet flats and women wearing Havaianas, which make their feet look so sexy. When I was a young boy I was fascinated with seeing women in black high heeled pumps. As I got a little older I loved seeing strappy sandals, either flat or high heeled. One particular day I saw a woman in a pair of flat sandals and her left backstrap was very low on her heel while her right one was all the way up. She lifted her leg up behind her and pulled her strap back up, which i'd never seen before and excited me greatly. When I was a boy and walking around shops with my mother I'd look for high heels and sandals and in particular one's with slipping backstraps. I loved seeing the strap slipping down or having already slipped off, squashed under the heel. I also loved seeing women fix their straps and pull them up. I created a feeling inside of me I'd never experienced, and once i hit puberty seeing slipping sling backs made me sexually excited, as well as seeing certain types of high heels.

I remember vividly that when I was about 11 I began having to take Japanese classes at primary school. Every day for two years the teacher wore a pair of strappy black sandals. She was constantly losing her straps, slowly at first but by a year later she was losing them just walking through the classroom. These were the most amazing pair of shoes I'd seen to this point and she had no qualms about pulling them up in front of everyone. Asking questions at the front of the class she'd lean down, flick her leg up behind her and slide her straps back up with her index finger. I thought this was amazing. Whenever she walked into class her straps would be down under her heels and she'd fix them as soon as she stopped. Every time they slipped low on her heels she fixed them, for two whole years. Even so, she always wore these heels. I could have watched them all day every day.

As i got older I also noticed women's shoes and pumps slipping off their heels as the walked. I began to feel the same type of excitement for heelpopping as well. This then extended to women dangling, dipping and shoe playing which I found incredibly sexy. From at first only liking strappy sandals, I began loving high heel pumps, peep toe pumps, wedges, ballet flats, anything that exposed the toes or a lot of the foot. I loved pumps that showed toe cleavage and when they slipping off when walking and exposed the heel that really got my excited. I even began to love the slapping noise loose sllingbacks and pumps made, the noise alone could now make me excited. I was very sporty, a real normal, rough boy so this love of high heels and sandals was troubling for me. I thought something was wrong with me because on one hand I was 'normal', a boy who loved playing football, basketball (pretty much any sport), roughing around like normal active boys, etc, etc but underneath I had this secret.

I always had trouble expressing this fetish and kept in completely to myself, although as I reached my 20's I accepted it as a part of me and was quite certain that there was nothing wrong with my because of my fetish. However, I'd picked up from society that foot and high heel fetishes were 'weird' and felt I'd be laughed at, picked on or ostracised as a 'weido' or 'pervert' if anyone knew about it. Keeping this to myself sucked as I really did love seeing women in high heels or sandals and thought pretty feet were really sexy. I am quite a fit and fairly attractive young guy (I don't mean to sound up myself) so I had no trouble finding girls but I didn't dare bring up my high heel and foot fetish. I searched the web looking for other people to discuss things with and did participate actively on a particular website for those (men and women) who like high heels, however many people criticised my passion for loose sling backs and pumps and branded it as a 'fetish'. Many actively discouraged this 'fetish behaviour' and I received quite a bit of negative feedback even though all that I wrote was innocent and tasteful. This discouraged me further. I didn't want to look up porn or pay for things like that, just discuss my high heel and foot fetish.

Does anyone else out there have similar experiences and/or frustrations in expressing their love of feet and high heels? I'd love to chat about your passion for this type of thing and discuss experiences or stories.
