Plimsole Fetish

Hi,

I have just joined and live in the UK, recently retired. I have had an obsession with plimsoles since my early teens and wear daily, however since my retirement I have preferred to wear ladies platform styles out, my preferance being also in pink or similar colours. Love the Superga 2802 7cm plat and their range of 4cm. I also have Keds triple high and Converse Lift. Collection of English old school plimsolls as well which I enjoy. Any one else share this pleasure

I'm in the US and never heard the term “plimsole” before - basically a pump style canvas athletic shoe? There are other members here who have a fetish for tennis shoes etc. I'm sure you'll find some interesting members to talk to!!

Question: Is it “plimsole” or “plimsoll”?

Plimsoll 😁

Plimsol (one l at the end) is a waterline mark

Loved to see my male roleplay patients naked apart from white plimsols after some of their examination and they have removed the rest of their PE kit. Sometimes with short sports socks as well.

Americans call them ‘sneakers’, us Brits plimsoles, plimsoll, to be honest people spell it as they want. Your nearest are Keds which I also wear

I am into all forms of plimsoll wear, especially like wearing them wet/muddy as that is what they are designed for, into bondage, spanking, wear them just about 24/7. especially like wearing out ladies colours, platform styles, Superga my fav from 4cm to 7cm. I also adore Keds, the triple lIft a fav, Would love to write to like minded people. How can I post pics or can this not be done?

Question: Is it “plimsole” or “plimsoll”?

Plimsoll

In the 1870's the British politician Samuel Plimsoll came up with the safety feature to avoid dangerous overloading on ships…The Plimsoll Line. The shoe was originally called a ‘sand shoe’ but got the nickname ‘Plimsoll’ around the same time. It's a low-tech gym shoe, canvas upper rubber sole, normally black or white and typically used in schools in the 1960's and 70's. In the 1980's the more hi-tech trainers became the go-to sport shoe. I suppose the modern day plimsoll would be the widely sold canvas boat shoe.

They do have other uses…here's a quote…'As it was commonly used for corporal punishment in the British Commonwealth, where it was the typical gym shoe (part of the school uniform), plimsolling is also a synonym for a slippering.' Ouch!

I totally agree, I had to wear plimsolls at primary school, secondary school optional but I was slippered by the school headmaster when I stepped out of line, wearing my black plimsolls with a plimsole. I joined the British army in the late 60s, part of our kit were black rubber toe capped lace up plimsolls which we had to wear in our barrack rooms. Actually some even wore them in the shower to avoid verruca's. They were replaced in 1980 by nylon trainers, yuk. My first serious sexual experience involving plimsolls was in the army when I was happily seduced by another plimsoll wearing man, my fetish then seriously took off which I was more then happy with and may it continue. Over the years I have developed my pleasure to include femm ladies plimsolls. My wife fortunately had a boarding school experience, she had to wear plimsolls inside the school but hers were the Dunlop Green Flash. On our meeting it was a common theme in our relationship, we had a bond and still do though she has lost all interest sexually but she knows mine is still strong hence I can wear just about 24/7, including the ladies pink colours (she says its the girl in me). I am bi and have two grown up daughters in professional occupations who are aware of my fetish and support me. gets no better then that.

I get excited seeing any male in old style plimsolls be they lace to toe or oxford lace especially when dressed for gym work. Nothing excited me more when doing gym with others kneeling at their feet and having to hold their ankles down while they did sit ups. I usially held the feet relishing the look and feel of the plimsole laced on. Those were the days.

Plimsoll 😁

Plimsol (one l at the end) is a waterline mark

The plimsoll symbol ⦵ (or o) that is used as a superscript in the notation of thermodynamics to indicate an arbitrarily chosen non-zero reference point.

The Plimsoll line is a reference mark located on a ship’s hull that indicates the maximum depth to which the vessel may be safely immersed when loaded with cargo.

A pump or plimsoll (British English; see other names below) is a type of athletic shoe with a canvas upper and rubber sole developed initially as beachwear.

They do have other uses…here's a quote…'As it was commonly used for corporal punishment in the British Commonwealth, where it was the typical gym shoe (part of the school uniform), plimsolling is also a synonym for a slippering.' Ouch!

Plimsoll (Plimsole, Plimsol): Quite a word with a variety of meanings!!!

My wife fortunately had a boarding school experience, she had to wear plimsolls inside the school but hers were the Dunlop Green Flash.

I remember well the Dunlop Green Flash they were very popular for tennis and badminton back in the day. I've worn out several pairs myself over the years…

I had a huge collection once, at least 50 pairs of all colours, then Sports Direct bought the brand name from there is wasa downhill, no longer made and the price of them as rocketed. Wish I still had my collection but purged when we moved house, so sad.

I cannot share a plimsole fetish as you describe but I do love to see women in good trainers. I’ve posted before that a fit girl running always captures my attention and I always think the trainers accentuate the shape of their legs nicely.

Yesterday I was in our local pub and on the adjacent table was a fellow regular and she was wearing lovely white plimsoles with a red edging And those nice small socks that only just come up above the shoe line…. I had to have a couple of extra pints to enjoy the view……🤓

@PlimsoleFetishMan I’m another one here with a strong sneaker fetish, possibly the only one besides yourself. I see the occasional member who says they like women in sneakers or running shoes, often in reply to one of my posts on my sneaker fetish, but I don’t recall anyone else definitively declaring themselves with that kink like this OP of yours or one of my earlier ones. Mine may have started earlier, but the first I noticed it was in my 7th grade Middle School at age 12 when I started being exposed to our Cheerleading team, all girls, who as part of their uniform, wore white canvas Keds sneakers every Friday.

More later. Just had a complete power outage.

If you haven’t seen, there’s a website for sneaker enthusiasts at

https://sneaker-groups.com

which has a section allowing NSFW sneaker photos. I think there’s a fee for that section.

Welcome to Zity.

Hi Eric,

Many thanks for that. I realise that there is a significant difference between us Brits and you Yanks when it comes to the definition of Plimsolls, sneakers to you. In the army we called them brothel creepers or daps. Within the UK there is quite a following for the wearing of plimsolls, just search Flicker or even YouTube. I have met a few others who share my passion but to me its just the wearing that I enjoy, be they Superga Platform to very thin rubber soled old english styles.

What is interesting is that yesterday while I was queueing for a coffee at our local supermarket a man turned to me, in his 50s and said that he really liked my shoes, they look really comfortable. I was wearing a pair of Superga pink 4cm platforms with the Superga logo printed around the sole wall. If I was allowed to post images I would do so. I said that yes, they are, I like the thick sole, whereon, just as he got his drink he said ‘They really suit you, I am impressed’. I was with the wife and of course told her. She said ‘good, wear them more’.

Keds are what I would call our version of the Oxford plimsole lace, search ebay UK, lots on there for sale. A link to one such site https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362275385408?hash=item54594bb040:g:mxYAAOSw6MxaskDP then we also have these; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362275385408?hash=item54594bb040:g:mxYAAOSw6MxaskDP To the English plimsole fetishist these are the iconic plimsoles we love and adore, pure rubber, soft canvas.

I never thought anyone would mention plimsolls (or plimsoles) but do remember them from school with mixed memories.

People do seem to wear them more again these days I have noticed
