William ShawWORN Last week Paul got a parcel from America. It made him happy. Fifteen pairs of shoes. At home in his bedroom, Paul's got about fifty pairs. Women's shoes. Worn. He doesn't say what he does with them though. He just likes them. High heels are his favourites. Especially black sandals. Brown ones he doesn't like so much. Why? Not sure really. ...She'll squish you like a bug with her beautiful arches... He buys them on eBay, mostly. "LADIES WORN & SMELLY SHOES - THESE ARE MY OWN PAIR - CAN PROVIDE A PHOTO OF ME IN THEM" or "Nice Well Worn Slippers Size 5".The important thing, above all else, is that they've been worn. By women. New shoes don't do anything for him. He can't explain it, exactly. He's not very good at explaining why. It's difficult. But yes, he was very pleased with last week's package. Fifteen pairs at a dollar a pair - plus 28 dollars postage. Even better, it had a letter in from the sender, telling him a little about the shoes. He always likes that. He selected the nice ones, rejected the others, like the brown ones. The others he sells on to other fetishists. The web has been good. It's made life so much easier. He visits www.trample.com, or www.footworship.com. "Watch these girls such on toes like they were a lollipop!" and "She'll squish you like a bug with her beautiful arches!" Yeah. He is a submissive. Lots of people are. It's all about feet. When did it start? Don't know. Well. It seems like it was always there. Or maybe it started when he found himself, aged ten, gawping at his mother's own footwear. They seemed so special. True, yes, some people find it strange. He wouldn't tell his family, in case they didn't understand. But the women who send him the shoes, they seem to get it. "I'm a shoe/foot fetishist," he writes to them, up front. Nothing wrong with it. It's the same as being turned on by legs or bums, isn't it? Not hurting anyone, is he? Story by me. An old worn one from a few years ago. Smelly even. The photo is one of a set found in La Lagunilla in Mexico City by Karen Apricot Gimme stories. Gimmie gimme gimme. 9:53 AM - 31/10/2006 - post comment
