I googled up “Keds vs PF Flyers” and [this YouTube video popped up](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RylCTsuB0ug). I’m thinking “Great they will talk about construction and fit and …” well that’s not quite the way it went. What’s going on here? She’s showing off her feet like a show pony. It feels almost pornographic. ---

Yes, it is obviously a fetish video. ---

Yep, 2 of the keywords are “shoe play.” Which almost invariably involves feet, or shall we say, the ambience of feet. ---

Usually a quick spray of Lysol will take care of any ambiance my feet are exchanging with my shoes. ---

I would assume that foot fetish involve either high heels or bare feet… trying on sneakers sounds just… too softcore. ---

Mild homemade fetish porn, like the girls that duct tape their mouths and then kiss each other. You’re not fooling anybody! We’re on to you. ---

Yes. About a month ago I looked for wool knee socks on eBay. And who knew - apparently there’s quite the market for $100 pairs of used, dirty socks, :eek: modeled by chicks with manicured feet and shapely legs. ---

Golly gee, what clued you in to it being a fetish video? Was it the constant rearranging of the shoes with her skanky toes? ---

I keep waiting for the review, but all she kept doing was doing was a burlesque with her toes. My burning question of comparative sneaker quality remains unanswered. ---

You think it’s hard getting comparative sneaker quality questions answered … just try doing serious research about women with large breasts on the Web! ---

I could care less about feet, but your authoritative tone is intoxicating. I want a video of you critiquing feet. That would be… so hot. ---

Looks like all of her vids are in the same vein, so yeah.
