Guest Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I have always wanted to ask if I could take a pic of a someone elses feet/shoes But I don't have the nerve, plus the setting would have to be right. Usually I am in heels too and I figure they would notice and perhaps would want A pic of mine, which is fine as long as it is just the feet. I could not resist. I "stole" this pic yesterday while at lunch. I have said "nice shoes" to a few woman in passing with kind responses, not snobby Or freaked out. But that is all.

newheeler Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I had it planned several times but never have my camera with me when i could take pics Don't worry, be happy - in heels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkrenzer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I have to admitt I love wearing my heels, public and otherwise, and love seeing others (always women) in theirs, but I must be honest it is a bit creepy to photo someone without their knowledge. I'm sure being a guy in heels, both with my wife present and otherwise, I have been shot more than once and am glad I did not see someone doing it. People, even in public, do have some expectation of privacy. I'm at least glad you did not picture her face.

meganiwish Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I'm not sure how I feel about this. The world does seem to have got very sensitive about photos. And to think that as little as thirty years ago it was thought normal to be amused at the idea of natives believing a photo took their soul. I don't know that one can expect privacy on the street; a degree of anonymity at best. 'Public privacy' is an oxymoron. I don't mind being photographed without my knowing. It must have happened hundreds, if not thousands, of times in my life. I can imagine, though, feeling uncomfortable at a stranger coming and asking to photograph my feet, probably more so if it's preceded by a compliment.

Shafted Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I would never consider grabbing shoe shots of other people without their permission. In fact I wouldn't do it at all and have never done it. I've enjoyed seeing women wearing high heels in person and that's how it should be in my opinion. But when your a shoe lover, viewing a woman wearing them is not in the "dirty" realm at all. I appreciate them for the work of art they are. Shafted, the boots that is!

ilikekicks Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 CREEPY! I Would never even consider it without some form of introduction and paying compliments before hand. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronCross Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I can imagine, though, feeling uncomfortable at a stranger coming and asking to photograph my feet, probably more so if it's preceded by a compliment. Well I've never walked up to someone and went "hey, nice shoes, can I take a picture of them?" The few times it has happened we would have been engaged in conversation and I'd want a picture so that I could find the same style later on. Definitely the situation must be read and most of the time my girlfriend is with me and the picture is so her and I don't debate about what style we saw when trying to find something similar for her later on.

Dr. Shoe Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yes, someone asking to photograph my feet would definitely be creepy. Even more so if I thought they were doing it on the sly.

FreshinHeels Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 According to a recent case in the European court one is not allowed to take a picture from someone without the others consent. So ye have to ask and tell them what you want to do with the photo afterward.

Dr. Shoe Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think I'd refuse because I'd hate to see a "tranny's high heels" pic on Flickr or elsewhere.

hhboots Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 While I do appreciate the sight of beautiful heel on an attractive woman, a guy checking out a woman can be borderline creepy, especially when done to excess (staring / gawking), and I feel taking candid photos of others in public goes even further into the creepy category. So I agree with some others comments and I think whether you ask or not, it just doesn't feel appropriate to take public photos of women's feet.

meganiwish Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Would I feel the same if someone asked to photograph my hands? I don't think so. Why should that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wow. A lot of responses. It did feel weird taking the pic. I was Sitting at a table and I had my phone out and she walked by and not having time to really think I just clicked it. Personally I would not mind. If someone took pics of my feet as long as it is Not for vicious puposes. On to another question. Has anyone ever asked someone else where they got their shoes or what brand they are?

Steve63130 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes, I have occasionally asked women what brand of shoes they're wearing. Mostly it's women I already know, but once in a while I'll strike up a conversation with a stranger, say at an airport, and eventually we'll get around to the subject of shoes and I'll ask her what brand. Sometimes I know the brand and just confirm it. That impresses other people! Wish I could do it more often, but there are way too many brands and styles out there. I tend to follow only a few: Naturalizer, Aerosoles, Clarks, Nine West, Born and Payless. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney15c Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 No wouldn't feel comfortable about doing it, and wouldn't like it done to me either. 99/100 its would be perfectly innocent but that 1% would be nagging at me.

saudade Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 No, it runs too far into the creepy category. If you can't ask the subject or come up with a good reason to ask, it probably shouldn't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
