ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shoe fetishism

Shoe fetishism is when someone really likes shoes a lot. Sometimes, they like shoes so much that they get very excited just looking at them or touching them. They might even want to wear someone else's shoes, or sme people get a special feeling when they see high heels or boots. It's kind of like how some kids really love their toys and might always want to play with them or keep them close by. But when someone has a shoe fetish, it's a feeling that they can't control and it's just a part of who they are. It's okay to like shoes a lot, but it's also important to remember that it's not okay to take other people's shoes without their permission or make them feel uncomfortable.
