Hooker Boots

I'm no podiatrist but I don't see the benefit of some women's cravings for a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps.
Some women would appear the same as a house being balanced on a straight pin.
Seeing Sherri Sheppard in these shoes almost caused me to vomit.
What is it with women's fascination with shoes?
Do they feel as though they are being judged by their choice of footwear?
Maybe they're correct.
A simple moccasin seems to convey a sensible motherly look.

While a slight heel may suggest a bit more daring.

Acrylic pumps suggest a sense of ease.
A sense of availability.
A sense of goods being for sale to the highest bidder.

Even the proper "hooker boot" can convey a sense of sexiness.

While some avant-garde designs hearken back to the bondage some women endured in other cultures.

I have no foot fetishes - but I do notice what a woman wears.
I may be wrong - but I can usually tell what I'm in for sexually by the shoes a woman chooses to wear.

I hate those Alexander McQueen Shoes! It's like not only are they ugly but how the hell you expect to walk around in them without breaking ankle.

You're better than me because I don't even pay attention to it at all. Somewhere around 13 I walked away from paying attention to women clothing. But, if I saw the last pic I would think WTF!

Society values tall, leggy women, and most of us can only seem so by wearing high heels. Plus, they make your walk more feminine. Women who only wear flats or sneakers usually have a butchy walk.
The love women have for shoes is complicated enough a topic to justify a PhD paper. All I can say is that I have had shoes that I loved more than some long-term boyfriends. Contrary to popular belief, we don't care much if the shoes appeal to men or not. It's mostly either about female competition and mutual intimidation, or simply self-expression.

SHOES for me not that complicated. I LOVE THEM. I like the way a shoe makes me feel and of course I have some other reason in which I wrote about - check it out: http://nvfreckles.blogspot.com/2009/10/so-shoelite-status.html

My shoes are like my children - I love them. They make me feel good ans sexy. I like them high and with a personality. I like the thought that a man is checking out my shoes. I am the woman that my shoes say that I am.

That last shoe just doesn't look comfortable at all. But I do like to see certain shoes on certain women. However, I am still trying to figure out how they can wear pumps all day with any measure of comfort.

In my next life I actually want to design shoes and handbags. Mine will not look like any of these, lol.

Shoes for me are an accessory, like a watch or earrings or a handbag. They show a little bit of your personality or your mood for the day.

I call it Shoe Porn; and yes, women are most definitely obsessed with it.

I've never understood why women cram their little hooves into shoes that are either shaped like pizza or jacked up off the floor. It's not as if that makes them MORE attractive. Sure they look good in heels, but they look good in flats too.

It's doesn't make sense really. It's like when women are constantly putting perfume behind their ears; as if that makes them more attractive also. Any fool knows that the only thing that a woman can put behind her ears to make herself more attractive to a man is her knees.

BOOOOOOOOOO for flats. Its just not my thing. Kind of like being a mother - just not my thing.

Some shoes just make a woman feel sexy and I believe that there is almost nothing seier than confidence.

Damn, Reggie - knees huh?
