Boot Fetishism, is very closely related to shoe fetishism.
Many of the same sexual appeals regarded high-heeled
shoes apply to boots. In most cases the fetish of
the boot is accompanied by a fetish for the material
which it is made from. Examples could be leather or
latex. High-heeled boots help to elongate the calf,
creating a longer-legged appearance which is generally
considered to be more sexually attractive.
In general, boots can be divided into three primary
structural categories and sub-divided from there.
There are ankle-length, knee-high, and thigh-high
boots.
There are many potential turn-ons that could arise
from boots. Usually the action of the wearer's legs
provide many of arousals boot fetishists have. For
instance, slowing crossing the legs after being seated
or small subtle movements of the booted legs can provide
for a visual stimulus. In cases of leather boots,
the leather itself can be very reflective and glossy
and create further visual appeals. The heels of the
boots can also provide sexual appeal, the most common
sexual heel being the stiletto heel. The soles of
women's boots are attractive as well.
One theory to the boot fetish, is an infant's or
young child's experience of seeing their mother in
boots, or seeing other women wearing boots. If sexual
behavioral imprinting occurs during this time, it
may lead to the feet, shoes, or boots becoming the
primary object of arousal in later years.
