My Fetishes IV: Retifism

Retifism is the fetish for footwear. I am a retifist. I become aroused when wearing or seeing others wear shoes that I think are sexy.

I don’t know where this fetish came from. The earliest fetish-type attraction to shoes I remember was a pair of black suede, knee-high stiletto heels that were My mother’s. When I was a child, I used to put them on and pretend to be a superhero. I loved putting those boots on, even though they were much too big for Me, because they made Me feel powerful.

I have over 100 pairs of gorgeous shoes. My favorite are platform stiletto heels. I estimate that about 70 pair of the shoes I have are stilettos, and the majority of those are platforms. Most of them are black.

In My collection I have:

• crotch boots
• thigh-high boots
• knee-high boots
• ankle boots
• combat boots (vintage and modern)
• Doc Martens
• pole climbers
• classic pumps
• retro pumps
• strappy pumps
• fetish (ballet boots, metal heels, spikes, etc)
• kitten heels
• creepers
• sneakers (gym/tennis/trainers style, Converse “Chucks”)
• sandals (gladiator, wedges, espadrilles, flip flops, Dr. Scholl’s wood exercise sandals, etc)
• unusual designs (holographic, art heels, etc)
• costume shoes (gogo, pirate)
• vintage (spectators, oxfords, 1980s jellies, etc)
• ballet (soft and pointe) [These are actual dance shoes, not fetish, from when I was a dancer, and are very old and smell wonderful.]

Materials and patterns:

• vinyl
• leatherette and leather*
• faux suede and suede*
• satin
• velvet
• cork
• canvas
• animal print
• holographic
• pinstripe
• “jelly”

Accoutrements:

• zippers
• laces
• buckles
• snaps
• rings
• spikes
• bullets
• scales
• bows (I’m extremely picky about bows because I usually hate them)

Here is a sample of some of the shoes from My collection:

If you also share a love of shoes and would you like to add to My collection, I’d be thrilled to receive a new pair! Check out My current footwear wishlist! I add to it when I find something I’d like. Or you can send an e-gift certificate. Ideas are on My Offerings page.

With this collection, I offer High Heel, Shoe, and Boot Domination sessions. These types of sessions are best suited for those who are looking to submit to the chosen footwear rather than fetishists who do not desire power exchange.

I welcome requests for a particular pair of shoes or boots to be worn during a session, but you must be polite and respectful when asking or I won’t consider the request. NO: “wear your shiny black thigh-highs with the side laces”. YES: “Mistress, I would be love/adore/be honored if you wore any shoes in which I can see your toes.”

Would you like to make Me really happy? Surprise Me with a pair from My WANT LIST:

• 1960s pop and flower art platforms
• 1970s wood platforms
• Disco platforms
• 1980s new wave pumps
• Other unique, outrageous, and statement type shoes and boots

Aside from the mass-produced footwear that is on the above wishlist, I’m primarily looking for vintage (original to the time period) shoes, but well-done retro (remakes) can be good, too. Leather or suede is okay if used, but nothing newly manufactured, please.

I’m also interested in bespoke fetish heels, but the maker must offer non-animal-based materials. Please check with Me if you are interested in gifting this type of shoe.

My foot is 10″/25.4cm in length. I usually wear an 8.5US/39 Euro for open-toe sandals or 9US/7 UK/40 Euro for everything else.
