I know I have a strange addiction . I'm addicted to shoes. I like all shapes and colors that I can see. Being color blind makes me ask strangers what color things are. Some people would consider it a fetish. I just see it as an addiction.
Fetish A fetish is a strong, often irrational, fixation or sexual desire for specific inanimate objects (e.g., leather, shoes), body parts.
Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive substance use (drugs, alcohol, nicotine) or behaviors (gambling, gaming) despite severe harmful consequences. It involves functional changes to brain circuits related to reward, stress, and self-control, leading to intense cravings and inability to stop.
I got the definitions of the words are from asking Google.
Given the definitions I am a little of both. I don't get any sexual feelings from it. I get a feeling of freedom and confidence. I also feel like I'm doing what many can't or don't want to do.
I'm addicted to shoes and only wear women's shoes.I have the tendency to order a pair every month. When I'm browsing the net I get advertisements for shoes. I check my email and several are from shoe companies. When I am bored it gets worse. I have everything from flips to flats and heels to tennis and a few boots.
I have shoes I bought in 97 and they still are in great condition. They are not new. I wear the majority of them and only have 1 pair of white Etnies that have a multi color design with a butterfly. I ordered them in an attempt to not think about my wife just passing away. I would have gotten a pair for her and not me. The website said they were just listed and they were sold out. The next day I got an email asking me if I still wanted them. Even my size 11 sold out so fast it was crazy. I have yet to see a pair on eBay.
I love to wear heels. The sound is addictive to me... kinda like glass breaking sound but with no mess. Most of the people I talk to about them ask how I can walk in them. They also say that they are painful to wear. I found that the company Clarks makes really comfortable heels and flips. For the heels and some flips and flats Clarks are the Brand I get. Tennis shoes are what the shape and colors that attract me.
I have some pictures of the shoes I have and wear.
