Comments: Contrary to

what is claimed in the forwarded email, the painful-looking footwear

depicted in the attached photos does not represent " the

latest fashions from Japan and Italy. "

The shoes themselves are perfectly real, however, and fall under the

general heading of " fetish wear. " One Internet shopping guide

describes the product category thus:

 

 

Fetish shoes, and indeed fetish boots, tend to have extremely and

almost dangerously high heels. The features of the sexy shoe are taken to

their extremes when making fetish shoes. This means that heels are seven

or eight inches high, colours are vibrant and bold (think pillar box red,

fuchsia, emerald, or monochrome white or black), and materials are shiny

patent leather, PVC or other wipe-clean versions on a theme. High heeled

shoes are given a twist and voila, you have your fetish shoe.

They're not everyone's cup of tea, obviously, but if they do happen

to match your tastes and you're unafraid to patronize sites with words

like Kinky and Dungeon in the title, you can view more examples

of fetish shoes and even purchase a pair, if you dare, in

 

more

 

than

 

one

 

place online.
