The best come on I've ever had....

[destinie21]

I went shopping today and a stranger brought me shoes.

Okay here's the story. I was shopping with my friends and we stopped at a shoe store, I was trying on a pair of deep blue (not to be confused with navy blue) spiked heels. A nice looking woman came up to me and said "Those look really good you should get them." I told her I liked the shoe but I really had nothing to wear with the particular color. She said it was a shame seeing as the shoes were so sexy. I shrugged and said what good was a sexy pair of shoes if I had nothing to wear them with.
She said she was sure I'd think of something. I was starting to think she was a hired sales person. Anyway I ended up not buying those shoes and choosing another pair. As I was leaving the girl who rang me out was like you forgot your shoes. I looked at her nonplussed because I had my bags. She said oh your friend purchased these shoes for you I looked at my friends who had been bitching and complaining about being in the shoe store for nearly an hour and they were confused. SO I told the girl she must have made a mistake. She said no she didn't the woman I had been talking to had purchased the shoes for me. She had written her name and number on the reciept. How strange.

My friends found it necessary to rag on me all day

I'm not suggesting you'd take up such a career, but in porn, women always seem to dress up in that combination. Sexy shoes, and nothing. So I don't know...

Anyway, cool story. You gonna call her?

ps. The last woman who bought me shoes, I asked to marry.

She sounds very interesting.

She seems to be a woman with strong desires who is unafraid to pursue an attraction. (And what a lovely way to get your attention!)

She certainly seems worthy of a call.

That’s a truly incredible story! There’s got to be Lit story in there.

That’s something I’ll never understand: a woman’s relationship with her shoes. I could understand the attachment if it had to do with clothes or under things, maybe even hats. But shoes? I just don’t get it, and I have the feeling I’m missing out on something really big and profound.

The story is beautiful. Will you act on it?

But what I want to know as well, what did the shoes look like?

Wonderful Story Des. Wish I looked good enough in just shoes to get such a response

*HUGS*

Ha ha, I read that first as "unafraid to purchase an attraction".

Perdita

p.s. my one aberrant shoe encounter was with a salesman who preferred not to use those mini-slide things while trying the shoes on me, and instead rested my foot with new shoe on his crotch.

Sorry, but I find that behavior slightly creepy, from a man or a woman. Makes a good story: But in my opionion a typical story starting like this would inevitably tend towards a rather unpleasant conclusion.

No stranger has ever bought me ANYTHING!

But there was this dirty old man who offered to pay for my ticket to the Ferris Wheel, once. I was about 8, and terribly scared of heights. I turned him down.

I concur. If I ever attempted this I would only get a date with a grand jury.

I might could agree with this if you bought a woman some kinky lingerie and were suggesting at something a little more obvious...but shoes and a phone number? Nah!

Additionally, if a woman ever sues you for buying her shoes just let me know who she is and I will organize a public lynching.

Not even if they were black six-inch stillettoes with eyelets for an ankle chain?

Maybe the focus should be less on the item of purchase and more on the object of affection. I would have to throw myself at someone for buying me sexy shoes just for the chance I might phone them. So if you're ever shopping in Texas and run into me in a shoe store...take a chance

Drooling.

I'm married so the most I and said woman will ever be is friends
but I must say the shoes are cold. A "Hardcore Dior" pump in true blue calfskin, with webbing strap across front of foot, held by two rings and two snaps with "CD". Dior logo on keeper.
Zigzag stitching across front of toe and a three and a half inch heel .

I'm flattered but considering the price I'll probably call her and set up a lunch meeting and tell her I can't accept them

Several factors why we actually pay attention to shoes:

1. We actually like the colors in our clothes to match or at least be compatible (go figure).
2. The various ways that heels make our hips and legs look good.
3. The fact that there are times when it just isn't appropriate for our hips and legs to look *that* good.
4. The times when our feet get sore from heels and we just need something comfortable after a while.
5. The men (and some women) who feel intimidated by a woman taller then they are.

So... we need a pair of flats, wedges, short pumps and tall pumps in colors (and textures) to go with each outfit.

Formula: (number of outfits * 4) + "just because factor" = shoes required

Now, let's move on to boots...

 

[Black Tulip]

Des,

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. They sound gorgeous but I would probably do the same: give them back.

 

[destinie21]

Yeah I'm giving them back , but had she purchased these things might have been different,

 

[Black Tulip]

I know what I'll be dreaming of tonight.

Why women, and shoes go together...

One of my favorite movies: "The American President," the daughter tells her father, the President of the United states, played by Micheal Douglas, to compliment his date, played by Annette Benning, on her shoes. He does, and of course his date is simply thrilled to the core. But why? What is it about shoes that is so important to woman?

Right off the top of my head I thought of Cinderella, and the glass slipper, and all that denotes.

Then I thought of that old chavenistic phrase: "Keep her barefoot, and pregnant." And all that phrase brings to mind.

Cinderella finds her perfect mate, or rather he finds the real her through the shoe, or more appropriately, her glass slipper left behind. The whole story's climax revolves around that damn shoe, and the fact that the last thing the prince sees of Cinderella at his Ball is her bare feet hoofing it out of his site.

So do shoes represent the lasting independance of all single women? Or does it represent the epitomb of femininity because men would simply look rediculous in high heels? Or is it even more simple than that? Do women define their inner selves by the shoes that they wear? Can a man see into their souls by first checking out what they have placed their feet into? And lastly, will a man raise a woman's eyebrow by acknowledging her choice in footwear, and podiatrists?

As Always

Dirt Man

A funny fact:

The story of Cinderella originaly comes from China, and was born in the days when girls from good families had their feet cut and tied, in order to create the desired "lily foot", which men found very attractive.
In the original story, the whole deal with the shoe was that Cinderella had very tiny lily feet, whereas her stepsisters, who came from a family of newly-rich, had big, natural feet, that had to be cut in order to fit into the small shoe.
And the original shoe was made from embroidered leather, not glass. The idea that it was made of glass comes from a misunderstanding. When the story was translated from French, the translator confused two words that sound very much the same; vair=hide / skin / leather; and verre=glass.

The reason why Chinese girls had their feet cut and tied up wasn't just because of a beauty ideal, but also as a way of "taming" them. A woman who walks around with severe pain, stays at home as much as possible. She doesn't run around cheating on her husband.

Ever wondered why stiletto heals are regarded as sexy and desirable?

Ever wondered why stiletto heals are regarded as sexy and desirable?

Interesting post, SF. To me, the reason is that stillettos make a woman's legs look longer, and changes the proportion of her body so that she looks thinner.

I have my own theory about patent leather boots and corsets, fishnets and other "sexy" items, that has nothing to do with being bound or constrained: Of course I could be kidding myself, but to me, they exaggerate the curves of the body to create a sort of "super figure" -- a bit like putting "go faster stripes" on the side of a car to make it look speedier.

I'm happy to admit that this home grown theory may be complete crap, and that secretly, I'd simply like to see women wrapped in shiny black duct tape, struggling vainly to free themselves while I laugh fiendishly and play my organ.

LOL, Jose. Heels do make a woman's posture change, e.g., raise her arse; I only wish they made me look slimmer.

I think you're right about leather and corsets, 'fast stripes' is a good metaphor, as in "fast" woman.

[Vincent E]

Perdita, those are some sharp looking .357 Magnum pumps you have there. Will you be wearing them to the NRA ball?

Just be careful walking near any mud. I'm not worried about them getting dirty, but nothing sucks more than a blocked muzzle.

Best come-on I ever heard, second-hand:

A female friend was vacationing in Jamaica. She thought she had heard them all, but this one charmed her.

She was sitting at cafe table, alone, having a drink when she noticed a Jamaican man peering under the table, apparently at her feet. He looked puzzled.

She: What are you looking at?

He: Where is he?

She: Where is who?

He: The man who brought you here. No man could be fool enough to let you drink alone, so I thought he might be down there kissing your feet.
