You probably remember planking, owling, horsemaning, hangmatting, milking and frosting. Recently, a bizarre new fetish has gained popularity with many of today’s youth sharing in the trend. Followers of the fetish are known as “sneakerslaves”, and are seen sniffing, licking and worshipping sneakers or shoes. The fetish is more prevalent in Western Europe and is growing with the increase in new sports shoes being made.

I taught classes in the Kink world for over a decade. I was teaching at the time this trend arose. Yet I still never heard of it. I mean, you would think this kind of thing would be prevalent in the kink world, but no. Even we are not this ridiculous.
