I once had a pair of red shoes I loved. They were the most expensive shoes I've ever owned (though they cost less than $100). I bought them at Nordstrom's.

| Similar to these but those are not my feet. so don't get yourself all worked up, foot fetishists. |
Not long after I became a newspaper editor, I wore the red shoes to work with a navy blue dress. I looked goooooood.
But apparently the red shoes looked a little too good.
As I walked across the office toward the publisher's desk, I noticed he was staring at something, and that something was my feet in the red shoes. I swear he was undressing my feet!
"I've always loved red shoes," he crooned as I approached.
I felt naked. Harassed. Grossed out.
But I could see in his eyes that he didn't want to suck on my toes. No, he wanted to kiss and fondle the shoes. Is there such a thing as shoe porn?
And it wasn't my fault. They were just red shoes.
I didn't like the stare, so I never wore the red shoes again.
Infinities of red shoe love,
Janie Junebug
This could never happen to me--I go barefoot all the time! Maybe there's a reason to wear shoes!!
ReplyDeleteYou might not break your toes if you wore shoes a little more often. Or at least wear slippers around the house, the way I do.
DeleteI never had a pair of red shoes. But I have to say that would gross me out too. I also have to say wearing shoes with high heels like that are out of my future plans, LOL :) I think I'd trip if I tried a pair on of how high the heels. Give me flats or better yet give me tennis shoes :)
ReplyDeleteenjoy Thursday!
betty
Betty, I bought some heels recently, thinking I WOULD learn to walk in them. They now belong to Little Chick.
DeleteI've got a couple of red shoes, one pair being my wedding shoes, but sadly I can't wear them due to the impracticality with having to walk everywhere. My current new pair of shoes are some heavy duty leather hiking boots...I'm sure I could make them sexy somehow...maybe???
ReplyDeleteHow about some red bows and ribbons on your boots. Or wear the boots and nothing else (but only for Branden).
DeleteOne perv and you stopped wearing your favorite shoes? I say strap them on and give em a prance. Don't let one weirdo spoil it for the rest of us...weirdos!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you a secret: Those shoes were not comfortable. I didn't mind giving them up.
DeleteThe only good thing about those shoes in the first picture is, you can kill bugs in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI can't stomp my feet if I wear heels. Heck, I can't even walk in heels.
DeleteYeah, I've heard of shoe-fetish. Thank goodness he didn't try to steal your shoes or pull them off your feet. You were lucky he didn't put them in his briefcase.
ReplyDeleteI learned last night that Elvis Aaron Schwarz likes certain kinds of shoes, including peep toe.
DeleteDear Janie, I still have a pair of bronze colored sandals with a two-inch heel from my first summer out of the convent (1967). They were strappy and made me feel like a real "swinger"!!!! Peace.
ReplyDeleteYou're still a swinger, Dee. That's why you're so much fun, my sweetheart.
DeleteI love red shoes. Red is my favorite color! Yeah, I bet your feet were smokin' in those things. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, my dear, but in fact, I'm smokin' all over.
DeleteOh, my; the effect you have on people! OK, that your shoes have on people. If you'd hung in, perhaps by now you'd be a shoe-in for publisher. But perhaps not.
ReplyDeleteThat publisher is still the publisher. I tried to get my foot in the door but just couldn't do it.
DeleteThis story makes me love red shoes. How empowering ;)
ReplyDeleteLet's make a pact that we will wear red shoes when we meet in person the first time.
DeleteYou're so on! But what will we do about all the shoe lovers who'll be crowding around us?
DeleteWe'll sign autographs on other people's shoes.
DeleteI've been thinking about buying red shoes (really) but I am already smokin' hot (minus the 15 lbs I need to lose) so now I am on the fence about it! I want hot guys looking up, not down!
ReplyDeleteWear a good Victoria's Secret bra and they'll check you out boobs to toes. To get them to look at your face first, try wearing a red hat. I feel like quite the fashionista at the moment.
DeleteI'm a sucker for shoes, especially red,high heel shoes, oh man, what does that say about me?
ReplyDeleteIt says you are one sexy bitch, baby.
DeleteOh this was great! I am cracking up, especially the part about the guy not wanting to suck on your toes...but instead make love to the shoes. I mean I am a shoe lover myself, but I have my limits..mwuahaha
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and welcome to my blog.
DeleteI LOVE red shoes. If those things still fit you, WEAR them! Who cares what anybody else thinks? If you like wearing them, that's what counts.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, my love! I have missed you so. I gave away the shoes quite sometime ago. They were very uncomfortable. I now have red shoes that are sexy and comfy.
DeleteHahahaha!! Gross! I've never had that happen to me but it kind of gave me the heebs just imagining it. What a creeper.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you bust those shoes out again though. They sound too amazing to stay hidden in the back of the closet.
Welcome! Thank you for joining us. Elvis Aaron Schwarz, my dear friend, likes peep-toe shoes, so I have purchased a pair to please him. I also have some other great red shoes now.
