Just Thoughts
Everything has got a beginning, so how, why and when did I started being sensitive to this fetish. There can be technical and emotive answers, I try to put a bit of both in this personal discovery on my sensual sensibility.
Among some interesting experiences, there are some that are very common among us. One of the first eye catching sights into the sensuality of flat slippers is on the circus, usually well under the age of puberty. I also share this one, as one of the first contacts I can remember was the high-flyers on the circus on they gymnastics-like clothes and slippers. And, of course, the magician assistant in the saw trick with her slippered feet coming outside the box at the Christmas circus? unforgettable childhood memories.
Anyway, in my case I can only say that gym-slippers were the fist ones to give me the chills down the spine and to make a good flutter on the stomach.
As far as I can remember I had to use some orthopaedic shoes when I was a child, to reinforce some under-developed muscles in the legs. Nothing very special, but I was not allowed to use a normal pair of snickers until I was 10! I remember going to the Doctor several times for evaluation, and when I was there the first thing I had to do was to take off my shoes. Besides the voyeur perspective of people looking at one?s feet... the feeling of bare foot on the floor was, and still is so good, it was freedom. Also, and this is the best part, when at home I had to walk around on tip toes for some minutes everyday as therapy, bare footed or with gym slippers on... again this was freedom from the hard shoes I had to wear all day. So, one does not have to be a psychologist to find the link between my childhood experiences with the sex fetish I have today. I'm afraid that my parents didn't put me on a ballet school (as it was good for the problem I had) because there wasn't any near the place I lived... Lucky me! :-(
These were the 80?s, where ballet slippers were everywhere. Meanwhile a cousin of mine was absolutely freak about the TV series "FAME", to the extent that she and a group of other girls started an aerobic class at a local gym, were they used to do some workout. I was still a kid and she was a teenager. Some times, at her place, she would ask me to help her practice some steps. She used to wear a pair of black gym slippers, which I still own today, they are now very old but I keep them as a memory. After the fashion was gone she dumped them deep down on her closet. One day her family was moving, I went there to help and of course I managed to find the stuff I wanted and keep it for me in secret.
As time passed, I had contact with real gymnastics at school and ballet on TV. All developed into this nice and unique fetish. But one thing must be said. In ballet fetish the bottom line is Pointe! In my view, here I find a contradiction, as the use of slippers (ballet or gymnastics) can always be linked with the sense of lightness and freedom of your feet, with Pointe shoes it's a lot different... I mean, it's hardly acceptable that these ones are comfortable. The hard skunk and box gives the Pointe shoe a feeling of confrontation between the "highs" it can give you and the suffering and torture they pose to your feet. Again, no doubt that for most of us, Pointe shoes are very keen to be found in bondage fantasies... I wonder why! :o)
As many of us like to wear the "fetish", I can only say that I really like to see ballerinas "en Pointe", I have a pair of used and autographed Pointe shoes, but I really don't find much fun on wearing them. No freedom... get it? :-/
As far as I can say (and seeing is believing, I saw it a couple of times now) many ballerinas who wear pointes for a lot of time don't have very nice toes... :-( As I like comfort and also to see beautiful bare feet, I avoid using Pointe shoes very often on my self and on my girlfriend's pretty feet. Although I like to see them on other people's feet! Hehehe
Meanwhile, there is another forms of fetish...the Rhythmic Gymnastic toe slippers (toe-caps). Now, there's a case of some real academic interest. I mean, are those girls wearing such unique apparel just to tease us? Well, I know that the benefit of using them is to avoid burning the sole of the feet on those superb pirouettes. But aside that, why in the world would they use just half of a slipper! Is it for style? Yes of course, and also to make a distinction between them and all other kind of gymnasts. I guess these ones are the ultimate in strangeness... but can anyone argue that it's also the ultimate in extreme pointed (arched) feet? The astonishing vision of a half-hidden foot inside a soft slipper, with elastic bands snuggling on the heel, allowing you see the toes shape in the shaded worn-out leather? Hummmmm, is that nice or what? :-)
Anyway, one can also take a lot of pleasure from the classic soft ballet slipper. They are comfortable and make really nice slippers to walk around in the house. They are anatomical - as it keep the foot flat and snugly on floor, and sensual - as it holds the foot tight and allow us to admire the shape of the foot flat or pointed. I mean... I LOVE IT!!! :-)))))))))
But... after all... How about a pure and pretty pointed naked feet? Maybe just in socks or completely bare feet? Is that enough for some of you sometimes? For me it is!
