7 Types of Sexy Shoes You Can Find at a Sex Shop
Your local sex shop or favorite online erotic store sells much more than just dildos and vibrators! Just some of the other items you might find for sale at a sex shop include condoms and lube, lingerie, costumes, BDSM and bondage gear… and sexy shoes!
Let’s look at a few of the types of shoes you might find, and why they’re so popular. But first, why would a sex shop sell shoes in the first place?
What is a Shoe Fetish?
Many people buy sexy footwear without attaching any particular fetishistic meaning to it. Perhaps you simply like how it looks, want to feel gorgeous on your next night out (or in), or want to dress up in something erotic to please your partner. Those are all valid reasons.
But if you find yourself particularly attracted to specific styles of footwear, you might have a shoe fetish. This surprisingly common fetish means that you attach sexual meaning to and get aroused by footwear. This fetish might be associated with a specific style (e.g. very high heels,) or with footwear more generally. It can exist alongside or separately of a foot fetish.
Whether you have a shoe fetish or not, you might be surprised how many styles your local sex shop sells. Without further ado, here are our favorite sexy shoe styles…
Stiletto Heels
A stiletto heel is a shoe with a long, thin high heel that usually tapers to a point at the bottom. Stilettos are tremendously popular because they’re sexy as hell. They change the way you walk and make your legs appear longer.
Super High Heels
Typical high heels tend to be no more than 3 to 4 inches in height. This is because, if you’re wearing them day to day (such as to the office,) you still need to be able to move around in them easily.
However, many people find super high heels attractive, either to wear or to see their partners wear. That’s why you might find shoes with impractically high heels at your favorite sex shop. After all, if you’re only wearing them in the bedroom (or maybe the local sex club if that’s your thing,) you don’t need to be able to walk far!
Platform Shoes
Platform shoes have an unusually thick sole designed to make the wearer look taller. They usually also have a high heel, which is raised higher than the sole. Platforms can add a lot of height, but are often easier to move in than traditional stilettos because the height difference between the ball and heel of the foot is lessened.
Platform shoes are popular amongst pole dancers. This is because the extra height creates the illusion of legs-for-days while the platform makes it possible to dance in the shoes. Some dancers say the footwear actually helps them to grip the pole, making those death-defying moves look graceful and effortless!
Thigh High Boots
The original Kinky Boots! Thigh high boots extend above the knee, reaching to the mid thigh or even higher. They can be made of a wide variety of different materials, from leather to polyurethane, PVC, or even latex.
Thigh high boots have a long association with female domination (Femdom) and are also stereotypically associated with sex workers, though they can be worn by anyone. Heel heights can vary from very low or even flat, up to skyscraper heels.
Ankle Boots
Ankle boots are shorter boots that stop at, or slightly above, the wearer’s ankles. They are often made of shiny or glossy materials such as patent leather, and can be decorated with intricate lacing patterns. Ankle boots are more practical than thigh high boots, but no less sexy.
Sparkly Shoes
Do you like a bit of glitz and glamour? If so, a pair of sparkly shoes might be just what you need to set off your sexiest outfit. Many sex shops sell shoes decorated with sparkly things such as rhinestones, gems, or glitter. Perfect for when subtle and understated just won’t cut it!
Larger Sized Shoes
Many types of sexy footwear are, unfortunately, designed exclusively with cisgender women in mind. But all kinds of people enjoy wearing sexy footwear, including cisgender men who enjoy cross-dressing, and transgender women who may have larger feet than their cis counterparts.
If you’re looking for sexy shoes in larger sizes, your sex shop can be a great place to start. Even if they don’t have your size in stock, they may be able to order it from their supplier.
Conclusion
The right sexy shoes for you are the ones that make you look and feel like a million dollars. Check out our selection to get some inspiration and fall in love with erotic footwear!
