Adult rated Keds Early valentine's day present

I have just been given an early valentine's day present by SO (wife) in the form of a membership to the Basement - what a great present to a great site, by a great sneakergirl!

We have been married since college in the late '70s, and she has been "tolerantly aware" of the sneaker thing since we were first dating - it turns out that she had been comparing notes with one of here close girlfriends about husbands preferences and it seems that both girls have ended up with sneakerguys - they won't tell me exactly what they discussed (under the cover of "secret girls business"), but in the course of their deliberations they found this site through the yahoo clubs links, and signed me up!

I can't help but feel that I've become part of an experiment, so help me out fellow sneaker-gurus!

The funny (as in haha) part is that she just got in the door from her aquarium club meeting (mostly guys, she being the only female attending tonight apparently), to which she wore a brand new pair of "girlie sneaks" (very cute looking New Balance 662 cross trainers) with her jeans, and came home quizzickly pronouncing that "there must be something to this sneaker thing afterall", as all the guys were apparently unusually attentive and friendly to her - she's convinced it was the sneaks, which she is very amused by!!

As a result of all this, she's now insisted that I formally announce my new membership (courtesy of her!) to the group, so hi there from me.

Absolutely fabulous site, by the way - the bestest on the net by far, so keep up the great work, and I look forward to contributing! 😀
 
Congratulations! Welcome to the basement.

It's nice to have such an understanding wife. It's also nice to be married to one for so long. What a great present!

I know what you mean about "secrecy among women." My wife admitted talking to one of her girlfriends about it., but refused to tell me how much detail they went into.

I do hope you contribute. We'd like to hear anything you'd wish to volunteer.

We have chats on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Please join us.
 
Obviously you must have confided in your wife somewhere along the line that you had an interest in sneakers.

How did you go about doing it?

I think there are a lot of guys out there that would love it if their wife/girlfriend would indulge them in this fetish, but are afraid to "come out of the closet shoe rack."

Breaking the news to the SO:

Thanks for the welcome to the group guys!

Mule raises a very good point about how to break the news to the SO and also about the question of how many sneaker fetishists there are out there like us - it is clear to the SO and I from cruising the net that (see has found it very useful in her understanding of this fetish to see that there are actually sites devoted to this!) we are clearly not alone, and that one of the big issues is actually breaking the news, rather than living in silence.

She has pointed out to me on various occasions over the years the attention she gets paid to her sneakers by various guys - usually the furtive looks, or the eyes that don't go anywhere but the sneaks. I think the SO of a confessed sneaker guy is probably a little more sensitive to, or interested in this type of behaviour, they may notice it some more than other girls/wives.

What has been the experience of the group's wives here?

In our case, I knew that this lovely lady was going to be it for life for me (notwithstanding that she was not wearing sneakers at any time when we started dating!!), and so I broke the news very early on (I had never told anyone prior to that. However, I was very subtle about it, as I didn't want her to think I was a nut case (remember I was only 21 at the time, and she was 18) - rather than blurting it out, I went and used my meager student's resources to buy her a complete outfit, of a red t-shirt, white shorts and white adidas sneaks, with no socks of course (ie I thought that I'd subtlely slip in the sneaks!). She thought this was amazing, as I was the first person other than her mother ever to buy her clothes, which is pretty funny when you think about it! She dressed from top down, sneakers last, saying (and I still remember it!), "and now for the sneakers" - they were a size too small of course, as bad luck would have it, but at least I had her parading around the living room of my small apartment looking, to me like the girl from heaven! I didn't have the guts to blurt out that it was the sneaks of course (having my adam's apple in my throat and my dick throbbing in my pants by this time!), so I just mumbled that she looked fabulous etc etc - it took me several months more to get to the point of firstly "casually" suggesting that she might like to leave her sneakers on after she'd gotten undressed, and then to actually saying that I thought she looked fabulous with no clothes and only sneakers on!

Boy, talk about slowly but steadily, huh!

Anyway, how does this compare with anyone else's experiences?
 
My "outting" to my wife is described in detail on my web site. Once she found out about it, she was an enthusiastic supporter. She would (and still does) indulge me any time I ask. There have been a few occasions where she was the instigator.

It was a long time however before we found out for sure that we weren't the only couple who enjoyed this fetish. (I outted in 1975 -- 20 years before the internet).
