Is it strange for a guy to love shoe shopping for his sweetheart?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 10th, 2011

How strange do you think it is for a guy to love buying shoes for his woman? Most guys I know hate shopping more so with shoe shopping. But be it Macy’s, DSW, Ross, Marshall’s, Ebay, etc when I see a sexy pair of shoes or see an ad on TV, the Internet, or email the hackles in the back of my neck goes up and I want to purchase them for her. I have to almost physically tackle myself to keep me from buying them or placing an order. The fact that she loves the shoes I buy and yes she loves my sense of style, doesn’t help. I would not say I was addicted but it might be close, I still can say “no” with much effort. I don’t always have the cash and I don’t want her to be like Imelda Marcos with so many shoes she could not effectively use them all. Do any of you guys have this situation or gals have a guy who buys for you like that?

In my 45 years of marriage, I have bought track shoes for my wife, exactly two times.

She is hard to please in the shoe department.

Have you ever considered that you might have a shoe fetish?

Hecks no! it’s not strange especially if the guy has good taste or knows what his woman likes. My hubby picks outfits, and shoes for me often, and his taste in shoes and clothes has yet to disappoint me. Plus it saves me tons of $$$.:D

If she likes the shoes you buy her, then that’s all that matters.

Nope. It’s not strange nor unusual. Yes, I’ve had BFs that got me shoes. It’s a gift like any other. However, you say you have a hard time restraining yourself from buying her too many shoes. I see a problem there. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

@john65pennington Have you ever considered that you might have a shoe fetish? I knew tha ‘F’ word was going to come up. I refrained from using it because I am not totally sure what that entails. I love to get her shoes in the style she likes (or she loves the style I buy, haven’t figured which) so it is not just any shoe any style or any color. Usually it is Black, Red, or White heels, pumps, espadrilles, or wedges. And it is not like I can’t control my buying them (though hate the thought I let a great pair get away). I don’t know…...

No, my fiancé buys me clothes, shoes, purses and accessories. I have no problem with. He takes care of me, and wants me happy. He loves surprising me. He wouldn’t do it if he didn’t want to.

Do you have a foot fetish? If you do, it may be a little weird. But if you buy her shoes just because you want to, then it’s great. There need to be more men like you in this world.

Foot fetish is weird? Since when?

KateTheGreat's avatar

@Porifera I mean, if the guy goes around thinking about feet all day and buying shoes for his woman obsessively, then it might be just a little weird!

No, it’s not strange. It’s fantastic if she likes what he picks out.

My guy loves when I get myself pedicures and new shoes but he’s not confident enough in knowing my taste to pick them out himself. I believe a lot of men like looking a their women’s pretty feet.

Wanting to please your sweetie is charming and positive, not weird. And as far as fetishes go, a foot fetish is pretty tame possibly nsfw link.

@laureth Where have you been woman? You have been missed. I would not say it is a fetish if a fetish is doing so to satisfy me only with no regard to her or I feel she must wear it for me to be sexy. In short the shoe does not create sexy desire in her but it helps her sexiness come through, but the most part she just looks good in them to me.
