I’m a 25 Argentine male, I arrived in Seattle 20 days ago. I’ll be here for studies, for the next 10 months. Before I got here, I read this 1999 column, where you list some foot fetish places in Seattle. That was 11 years ago. What are the foot fetish places in Seattle now? Thanks a lot!
Feet Fetishist Student Visitor
My response after the jump…
Um… here’s what I wrote about Seattle’s foot fetish scene in 1999…
Check out the lovely lady feet at the Blue Star on Stone Way, Canlis on Aurora, and Jersey’s Sports Bar on Seventh Avenue. There’s always a dozen or more people at the Blue Star in not much more than flip-flops, while Canlis attracts an upscale crowd of well-connected foot fetishists in Roman-style lace-up sandals. Canlis is currently the hot spot—there’s a reason this popular fetish hangout is located on Aurora—but after a brawl at Canlis during an after-hours foot-fetish party, TOES, Microsoft’s foot-fetishists club (Techies are Over-Eager Shrimpers), was officially 86’ed. These code-chompin’ shrimpers have been spotted lately at Belltown’s Brasa. Finally, you can’t go wrong at Jersey’s Sports Bar, Seattle’s oldest foot-fetish hangout, where every Wednesday they host the ever-popular foot-fetish dance night “Club Foot.”
Um.. gee.
I’m sorry, FFSV, but I just don’t have my finger on the dorsalis pedis pulse of Seattle’s foot fetish scene anymore. Maybe someone out there reading this knows where TOES is gathering these days.
Gang? Can you help him out?
Would someone who appreciated feet want to see the upkept ones squeezed into flip flops in November at Blue Star? Lucky you work for yourself Savage.
Oh, I know, but I’m not telling. Find your own damn feet to ogle.
Duh, the security line at the airport. That’s certainly a new scene since 1999.
FFSV should park himself in a chair in the Nordstrom shoe department downtown, either during the lunch hour or in the evenings. It would help if he carried a shopping bag or two from other stores, and the weary, beleaguered expression of the boyfriend reluctantly accompanying his lady friend while she shops for shoes. Nordys is having a huge clearance on shoes, so FFSV will soon be surrounded by ladies frantically hopping around barefoot, trying on shoes, boots, sandals, while he sits perfectly camouflaged.
Get a Zipcar, the Hondas tend to smell like feet, I’m sure you’d find it nice.
Seattle’s foot fetish scene is insufferable. Believe me, you want nothing to do with them.
I suggest either tagging along with the legs and stockings crowd, or putting on a suit and heading to the Nordstrom womens’ footwear department and pretending your a sales assistant. That’s what I do.
Most of the feet have moved south.
@6: That sounds like a great anon/roleplaying hook-up. “You: Fake shoe sales assistant in a nice suit. Me: Mismatching knee-high socks. I’ll be looking for a pair of tall leather boots … and *very* attentive service ;)”
Ok. Just me?
Um, Club Foot? Ew.
Mistress Matisse always tweets about this one, sometimes shows up at it too, apparently: http://footnight.com/seattle.html
As a girl living in California, I’m obviously just trying to help. I hope the Nordstrom’s suggestions were facetious, cause CREEPY!!! Don’t go that route dude. Also if you meet a GGG girl who doesn’t have a neurotic thing about feet = dirty, I am sure she would indulge. It is SUCH a harmless fetish to have in this day and age of Vitter the Shitter.
I just have a hard time keeping my mouth off of all those lovely size five shoes on display in Nordstrom. And moaning out loud, Mrs. Fnarf really hates that. Hmm, I think it’s really the shoes more than the feet.
My ex had a foot fetish.
Unfortunately I’m only 9″.
There was a nice crowd in the shoe department at the REI Seattle flagship store a few weeks back, and I tried out those weird “five fingers” shoes – quite a struggle, and the concentration involved is somehow arousing. When you look down, its like walking on your hands….
(And yet, Dan, you know about the dorsalis pedis pulse…)
It’s not entirely clear that Argentine male student is all about the ladies. In case he likes dudefeet, the men’s shoes department at Nordstrom’s is hoppin’ during the twice-yearly sales starting on Father’s Day and just after Christmas. Nordstrom’s Rack (the outlet store for the chain, which surely has a Seattle location) has lots of closely spaced racks of serve-yourself shoes well populated with not-quite-so-hotties, pretty much year-round.
Eww.
Sorry, foot fetishists, I don’t have the sauce on this.
@15 EEEEEK!
Fnarf, I have to agree with you. Or it’s probably a combination of feet in shoes.
@13 Those five toed shoes are creepy. Just…ewwwwww…
You should send that French intern there so he can bitch about how much better the feet are in France.
Go to a strip club and offer foot rubs. Be prepared to pay.
@13 ….. the five finger shoes are flipping awesome. They stretch the muscles and tendons in your feet and calves and you relearn how to walk correctly. Highly recommend them.
@18….how are they “ewwww”? everybody has toes. at least in these shoes they are covered unlike flipflops or sandals
@8: Totally hot. Of course, you’ll have forgotten to wear panties that day.
“Let’s loosen you up with a little foot massage so we can get a proper measurement.”
“No, I don’t have a shoe horn in my pocket, why do you ask?”
“Here, let me help you zip those up. Oops, my hand slipped, clumsy me.”
“Your toe seems to be in the right place. If you’ll just bend over like so, you can feel it for yourself. Yes, that’s it, perfect.”
Damn, how am I going to get any work done now?
I guess my boyfriend is lucky because I am a shoe addict! I adore shoes with feet in them. Hell, just the shoes alone are like little pieces of artwork. My philosophy regarding accessorizing is who needs a ton of jewelry when you have gorgeous shoes on? Louboutin’s, YSL, Mui Mui, Givenchy, Pucci, Zanotti, Blahnik…sigh. I suppose I am the lucky one to have a shoe loving partner or else I could be with a complainer who doesn’t understand my designer shoe fetish. I always model them for him before we go out and he gets the final call on what pair I will wear. I have at least 50 pairs of high end designer shoes and about 60+ pairs mid range shoes and sports shoes. In fact, all this talk has motivated me to go change into a pair of red CL Rolandos right now.
Oh i’m sure someone at the Little Red Bistro will help you out.
As long as you can choose between 7 flavors of Hummus and Bondange to go with your feetsies.
@21 They’re like gloves for feet. They just look so wrong. I prefer sandals and flip-flops to glove shoes.
well.. that was a two-hour timesuck
I really hope you people recommending Nordstrom’s are just joking. I wouldn’t mind having my feet ogled at a fetish event or by a partner, but if I’m just trying to buy some shoes I haven’t consented to being part of someone else’s sex life, even if they’re just watching.
@27 You shouldn’t go outside then.
@9 FTW!
He should hang out at the John Fluevog store, then he could watch people try on shoes like this:

And I don’t think that’s creepy, everybody’s always checking everyone else out, right?
Foot people are accepted and generally found at open BDSM events and spaces. I’m sure you could find a few sex pos folks who wouldn’t mind a few sessions.
Separated at birth? I have six pairs of Fluevogs. Not like those, granted, but still…
Um, to those wondering if I was serious, I don’t really hang out at the Nordstom shoe department, nor do i have a foot fetish. Just going for laughs there.
I do appreciate a woman in sexy shoes or boots, and Nordstrom has some lovely inventory. @30 Fluevog takes the prize, though.
Dang, Seandr, I was all set to enjoy imagining you clutching a pair of 5″ Louboutins as you typed your comments…
Seriously, Gus? I, too, have a small Fluevog collection, but I don’t have that one either (heel is just a leetle too pointy). Fluevogs, Uncle Bonsai, and Dlisted…the venn diagram of our lives grows larger by the day… !
Me: I’d love to suck on your toes.
Her: Ewwww…gross! Are you kidding??!!!
Me: No. But I should have clarified that. What I’d love to do is pretend to be a vampire and suck blood from your toes.
Her: Oh, that’s different. That would be so hot.
rotfl! that was perfect #35… brilliant use of the vampire obsession…
I wanna know where the sites are at myself, all the other big cities is doin it why arent we???? And there isnt nothing wrong with having a foot fetish…. I got one and you can find my vids at, clips4sale.com/store/23112 check them out…. And the ladies are available….
