To want to sell my shoes without fetishists contacting me for pics of me wearing them... (Pic in OP)

So I have a major obsession with shoes. Mainly killer heels, I have amassed about 200 pairs over the past couple of decades.

Occasionally I have a sort out and put them online for sale. Back in the early days of doing this, I would get messages asking for a pic to see how they looked on, to which I dimly obliged, then more messages would come with other (stranger) requests and it dawned on me that I was inadvertently providing free wankbank material for foot and shoe fetishists across the land. Shock

Now don't get me wrong, if that's what floats your boat, I've absolutely no issue. But lulling a young girl (I was at the time) under false pretences is totally creepy. Plus, I'm sure a psychiatrist somewhere would say I've a heel fetish myself anyway! Grin

Anyway, after cottoning onto this tactic, I just ignored the messages. But a while back, I got ANOTHER request and chose to respond this time.

My DP didn't want to model my shoes, but my male dog has absolutely fabulous legs and was happy to model them.

Haha love it

CarrotTop6 · 28/11/2018 17:47

Ahahaha brilliant !!

Racecardriver · 28/11/2018 17:48

Can you imagine how confused they would be on the off chance they weren’t a perve and genuinely wanted to know how they looked on?

IchWill · 28/11/2018 17:50

True, @Racecardriver! Still funny though. 😅

Maybe you could make money out of these fetishes?

Augusta2012 · 28/11/2018 17:51

What size are they, I like Carvela shoes. I’m a size 4. *misses point

IchWill · 28/11/2018 17:52

@Augusta2012 Size 6 I'm afraid. I did sell them to a lady a few weeks later and the CF pleaded poverty and would only offer £10. They'd been worn twice, she got a bargain.

Someone on a quiz app once offered me £50 to send him a picture of me squishing a snail in high heels. I passed, I like snails.

Apparently you can make really, really good money selling used shoes to fetishists on eBay.

IchWill · 28/11/2018 17:56

Awwww. Horrible. I love them too @Augusta2012.

Yes I've seen stories of women selling the smelliest, dirtiest, most battered shoes for loads of money!!

I'd buy a blow up doll.

Use it as a mannequin for the shoes!

saltandvinegarcrisps1 · 28/11/2018 17:59

@IchWill.....murphy is a legend! That's cheered me right up 😁

IchWill · 28/11/2018 18:01

@saltandvinegarcrisps1 He's soft as shite, will literally let you do anything daft to him, as long as he's getting attention.

My girl dog on the he other hand, a feisty madam, wouldnt even let me put half a paw into a shoe, without her trying to start a play fight with me. Grin

Reminds me of the weirdo men on breastfeeding groups who ask you to nurse them Envy

What is it with men deciding to make something all about them? It's ridiculous and makes me angry.

IchWill · 28/11/2018 18:06

@ChaosTrulyReigns Liking your suggestion. Grin

@GummyGoddess Never heard of that. Ewwww. Grim.

An alternative approach to using your beautiful dog, would be to get a friend/partner/relative to wear one shoe while you wear the other. Preferably someone with a very different looking leg to yours. It will be tricky, but not impossible, to get a photo looking like they are a pair of legs, it worth it.

IchWill · 28/11/2018 18:11

@FadedRed noted for next time. Grin

Once sold a pair of heels to be asked have your worn them in a toilet. I assumed a clean freak and assured the perv that they were immaculate and clean and I would wipe them over with detol wipes. Only to be asked would I wear them in the toilet!

randomchap · 28/11/2018 18:18

To avoid pervs like this I have modelled skirts when my DW was selling them on eBay. I have killer legs even if they are somewhat hairy

EarlyWalker · 28/11/2018 18:19

A friend of mine sells used shoes on eBay, she makes a decent amount of money.
She always says if someone’s dumb enough to buy it she’s smart enough to sell it ha

Ilovealexa · 28/11/2018 18:20

Wish I could find a way to make money doing this

IchWill · 28/11/2018 18:23

@ThatssomebadhatHarry See what I mean? He was probably having a power wank whilst messaging you. Blush

HAHAHHAHAHAHA I love this!! Grin

Enigmam · 28/11/2018 18:28

I'm just super impressed with how at ease your dog looks 😆

TinselAngel · 28/11/2018 18:29

I wonder if the dog tries on your heels while you're out, now?
