I was going through an older blog and decided that there were a few things I wanted to repost...
What do I like about boots?
It's a huge question. One that
involves lots of meandering. So I figured I'd post it here.
It's a fetish. That's the long and short of it. I don't know why it's a fetish, but it is. All my life, when a girl (or guy) has been wearing boots, it has instantly made them more attractive to me. Boots are almost more important than any other feature (which is weird, since boots can be changed so easily).

I first recall it becoming an issue in high school. There was a girl that I found out liked me. I liked the idea of her liking me, but I just couldn't be attracted to her. Then she came in to school one day wearing Mudd jeans (and I would perform many a sexual favor for the inventor of THOSE) and doc marten boots.
And I couldn't get her out of my head. She wore docs a lot, and when she wasn't, she had these black witches boots that were just as enticing.
Ever since, I've noticed that I'm more likely to hit on a girl in boots, more likely to do things for people in boots, and more likely to enjoy sex when boots are somehow involved. It's not a textbook fetish: I can get off just as easily without boots being present. But they make it all a bit hotter.
But what is it about boots that I like? It's a lot of things.
For one, it's the smell. The smell of leather. I have to get good and close for that, but that's okay. I also like the taste, and to lick the boots, I have to be close enough to smell them.
I like the way they feel against my skin, whether it be my hand, my sides, my throat, or my face. I like the shape they give to the foot. I like the certain additional level of 'badass' that they lend people. I like the treads on the sole, the power that boots have. I like the way the toe sticks out from under a good pair of jeans.
People walk differently when wearing boots. Watch for a bit, you'll see what I mean.
Boots as a personality test
So I was in college, sitting in a room and talking to a bunch of people, when something occurred to me.
I'm an observant person. That's not what occurred to me. What occurred to me was the different states everyone's boots were in. There were four of us, all wearing black Doc Martens. But they were incredibly different.
One person had shiny boots that were unlaced. Another had shiny boots that were tightly laced. I had dull boots that were tightly laced. And then there was someone with dull boots that were unlaced.
And I realized that I could tell a lot about people based on how they wear their boots on a regular basis. The laces represent how you feel about yourself (since you have to tie your own shoes), and the shine represents how you feel about others (since you picked out shiny or dull based on your own preference).
If your shoes are laced tightly, it means you want to have control over yourself. You feel like your life is your own, and you have decent self confidence.
If they are loose, you feel a bit out of control, and are looking for someone to come and put you together. You want a significant other who will take care of you.
If they are shiny, it means you want to control other people. The shine draws their attention to your boots, which necessitates them looking down and working their way back up. A very submissive gesture.
If they're dull, you don't want to control other people. Your shoes disappear in a crowd, don't draw too much attention.
I since have added a few things: If your boots are falling apart, but you still wear them (duct tape anyone?) it means you are very sentimental and dedicated. If they have scuff marks on them, it means you really don't want to be in control, because you're letting your boots get even more torn down, more beaten. If, on the other hand, they are shiny, polished, and look new, then you're trying to draw attention: you're taking control.
So what does this mean for the four of us in that room?
Tight laces, dull boots (me): wants to control himself, but no one else. Wants someone to push him, test his limits.
Tight laces, shiny boots: Feels strong and powerful, wants everyone to know it. She wants to take control. (had this girl not been so innocent, I totally would have asked her out.)
Loose laces, shiny boots: wants to control other people, but wants to be taken care of too. In bdsm terms, wants a slave who will cater to her every whim, who will do chores and put her life together.
Loose laces, dull boots: needs help getting control over his own life, but doesn't want to control anyone else. Likely not into bdsm, but if he were, he'd probably be a good candidate for a 24/7 relationship.
