Woman Shares How She Deals With Creeps Who Pretend They’re Interested In Buying Shoes Just To See Her Legs
How many stacks of shoes are sitting in the corner of your room waiting to be taken for one last stroll in the park before they go to footwear heaven? This savvy woman decided to give her shoes a second chance and sell them on Marketplace. But not so fast!
“This girl wasn’t born yesterday.” The woman knows the internet might be a weird place and she decided to keep her feet out of sight. Lucky her, the doggo agreed to help and guess who’s gonna be America’s Next Top Dog Model! Scroll down for Bored Panda’s interview with the lady behind this idea to see what she has to say about it!
This woman shared her crazy (yet smart) idea with people online
Doggy leg day!
Bored Panda contacted the woman and asked where she got the idea. “I asked my boyfriend first, but he wasn’t keen and his feet are too big. My boy dog is so chilled, so I thought I’d see if he’d let me put the shoes on him. He did.”
“My dog is always happy to help. He wouldn’t stand there and let me take a quick snap if he didn’t want to. My other dog certainly wouldn’t let me, she’s less laid back and knows her own mind.”
The lady told us that she was uncomfortable with guys asking her to send pictures of herself wearing the shoes. “I first encountered guys messaging me for photos of me wearing the shoes I was selling when I used eBay. I did oblige in the beginning as I didn’t realize it wasn’t innocent, but as soon as I did send a photo of them being worn, the requests would get bolder, asking me to wear stockings, asking if the shoes smelled, etc.”
One day she realized these requests might not be as innocent as they look. “I soon realized what was happening and stopped sending extra pics. When I started selling on Marketplace I got more messages. Always the same type of message, ‘They are wanting to buy them for a gift for their girlfriend,’ I mean, who buys second hand shoes for their girlfriend?”
Here’s the woman’s advice to girls selling their shoes online
“I would just say that I’m not kink-shaming, but if you don’t want to be involved in their kink, then don’t send the photos they request. Of course, there’s plenty of porn out there for this kind of thing, but there were some Redditors who commented who said they had foot and shoe fetish, they said that procuring images by stealth, from unsuspecting, everyday women was actually part of the thrill. So, if you’re cool with it, go ahead. If not, don’t send photos.”
Did the doggy feet help to boost sales? Unfortunately, not really. “It shuts those sales down straight away. The guys never reply, funnily enough.”
And that’s what people had to say about it

A certain current president has done worse and got elected.

So she may still be catering to those with a kind for dogs wearing heels.
Can I get a full pic of that dog wearing the shoes? *saliva dribbles from mouth, and doesn't*
That last remark, scoffing someone for buying used shoes for valentine... we aren't all rich, you know. It's the thought that counts and getting pretty new shoes is often very appreciated, even when they're used.
I think what they meant is, would anyone want shoes for Valentine's day, let alone used ones? Sure not everyone has a lot of money, but if you don't have money, I'd rather have a cute gift you can afford than shoes at anytime. I'd even prefer it if you do have a lot of money... But especially used ones. Not because of the price tag, but because shoes form to someone's feet.
Load More Replies...There are so many perverts online. It never ends. NEVER. It is sickening
I am pretty sure that the reason they weren't responding was because they got what they wanted
Wow. Okay - I have about 35 pairs of shoes I want to sell on Marketplace. Is this the kind of b******t I have to look forward to?
Awesome. Though why sell on FB when you can sell on Poshmark and eBay? Or mercari? I mean, really, they are outdated, but still. Is she trolling them? I kind of wonder.
Can we see a picture of your dog? Definitely for me and thats because dogs are awesome!
Brilliant idea! I used to sell swimwear on ebay and had my share of weirdos asking for pics...was tempted to get my boyfriend to wear them and send pics but realised there could be people who liked that too! So just ignored the weirdos and posted pics of the swimsuits hung on clothes hangers instead :P If I'd had a doggo might have put the suits on them!
While i get the avoidance of perverts and such harassment, maybe some of them were legitimate in their ask? I know that I would be, as my wife rarely wear heals. So I would be looking for pinch points and ask about where the pressure is too high on the toes. Dog's feet, although great to avoid the lame, do not help me identify possible issues in an expensive pair of heals.
Wouldnt see that from a pic though , also, feet are different
Load More Replies...I don't know who some of these women are, but they must have something I don't. I never get solicited for anything. I shoe off shoes I really like online and no one asks me for more or makes any sort of creepy remark. In fact, I never get a d**k pic. I'm happy for that. Must be hard being so gorgeous and attractive, though.
One of the most dumbest as f**k posts in a while. At least post a real problem
Sexualization is a real problem. I have been catcalled walking down the hallways of my high school. I'm 14, and I've been catcalled. We treat women as though they are an object for sale. Fetishes being fulfilled unwittingly is just one example of this.
