I'm obsessed. And I'm not alone. What catches my eye, captures my attention and fuels toe-curling fantasies? Quite a bit, actually, but for the sake of this blog post: women's shoes — more specifically, pumps. You know the type: 3–4 inch heels, minimalist design, open toed — or not — worn by pretty, poised, purposeful women well aware they're raking in the attention and sparking the arousal of men surreptitiously stealing a sexually-charged glance. In fact, few fashion accessories so instantly impart a higher level of sex appeal on to a woman, while redlining mens' lust meters, than a pair elegantly sculpted and confidently worn pumps. For me, the simpler the better; no adornments required. Just a sexy leg — made sexier — when slipped into a sexy shoe: you've got my attention and, admittedly, my submission. High heels are one of those stereotypical accessories — often associated with dominant women — that convey confidence and feminine power to virtually any woman who wears them. And don't women know it!

Men are such simple creatures — so easily manipulated by females and their flirtatious projection of feminine power. True, a man in a well-tailored suit can be catnip for a woman; but high heel shoes are an instant head-turner — the exclamation point for any confidently worn outfit. Pumps push a lot of buttons for men who admire them and the women who wear them: adding height, elongating the leg, redefining posture and naturally uplifting and highlighting breasts to give women are more commanding and thus dominant persona. Perhaps surprisingly, I've never considered myself to be much of a foot fetishist; I do appreciate the appeal and attraction of a pretty pedicured female foot but that alone does not drive my submission — until it is slipped into a high heeled shoe. Of course (dominant) women thrill at taking advantage of my — and other (submissive) men's — excitement and fetishization of heels and delight in using them to tempt and tantalize us into willful submission.

Shoe-based male submission can be downright debilitating for me and my submissive brethren. Take note of the amused self-satisfied expression of the woman in the artwork illustrating this post — as her devoted sub inhales her perfume so he will, in turn, become addicted to her command as her submissive servant and shoe slut. Requiring a sub to shine and maintain a woman's shoes, taking him shoe shopping and of course, kissing and worshiping them — either worn or not — speaks to the benefits of conditioning submissive men to worship women, their shoes and all things affiliated with feminine authority and leadership.
