At The Grocery Store This Evening

 "This story is for those among us who find un-usual toes attractive!"

I went to the store to get a few groceries this evening. While I was walking towards the front doors of my local Fred Meyer, I noticed two African American women standing near the doors. Judging by the age
difference, I'm guessing they were mother and daughter.

The daughter appeared to be about 30 and she was dressed to kill! Slender, about 5'8" and not bad looking. Her hair was done in cornrows and beads and she was wearing a chiffon or silk dress that
showed off her excellent figure to the max. The dress was cut at an angle, came to about 3/4 thigh and showed her long, beautiful legs to great effect. But what really drew my attention as I approached them, were the 5-6" spike heel, clear sandals she wore on her bare feet!

I love those clear sandals and was thinking to myself, "This is gonna be a nice view!"

The older woman was putting out a cigarette, so fortunately they lingered by the door as I made my way across the parking lot. The timing was perfect and I arrived just in time to be exactly behind them as they walked in. It was then that I got my fisrt good look at her toes. And I thought "This is too good to be true."

She had bunions that were well on their way to "large" and her big toes were angled perhaps 15 degrees. Her second and third toes were firmly hammered at the first joint and slightly hammered at the second joint. Her fourth toes hammered hard at both joints and her little toes appeared to be as well, but it was kind of hard to tell since they were squished against her foot by the transparent sandal straps.

She had large "soft corns" on the first joints of her second and third toes. The kind of corn that is not red or dry looking. More like a soft shiny dome. On the end joints she had small, round dry white corns and the same thing on both joints of the fourth toes. She had corns on her little toes too, but I could not see them that well.

Her toenails were perfectly pedicured with purple polish with large metalic flecks in it and she wore 12 gold toe rings. Two on each second and third toe, one on each fourth toe. One on her right little toe and one on her left big toe.

I know all this because I got a really good look. Read on.

They were headed the same place as me. To pick up a small carry basket and I waited for my turn right next to her, checking out those toes the whole time. The effect of the sky high heels, the clear material, all the toe deformities, the metalic polish and all those toe rings was stunning. This was just too good to pass up. I had to compliment her.

As we crosed the main front aisle and headed for the produce department, I accelerated my pace and walked up on her right. She was looking left at the other woman who stopped talking as I touched her elbow. She turned to me and as I said, "Excuse me, but I've got to tell you, I love those sandals you're wearing..." Without looking, she reached out and took my left hand in hers! I continued my statement. "... and you have really beautiful toes!"

Without hesitation she squeezed my hand, pulled me closer a bit and gave me a very heartfelt "Thank you! Thank you very much! I'm glad you like them." (I'm not sure if her "them" referred to her
sandals or her toes.) I told her that I had never seen someone wearing so many toe rings and that "I love seeing toe rings on pretty toes like yours, very sexy!"

She held my hand through all of this with her (mother?) looking on and hearing every word. She finally released my hand and gave me another very warm and hearty "Thank you!" and we parted. This woman
was dressed to be noticed and seemed to be delighted that I did, even if I am a balding middle aged white guy.

There's more...

I went to the meat case and picked up dinner, and as I was heading back to the produce department, I saw her again. She was over at the bakery counter talking to another woman who works in the store. All three
of them were looking down at her feet! Just then her "mother" looks up, sees me, and points. She looked over, smiled and waved. All three were looking now and I smiled and waved back then turned and headed further into the store.

About five minutes later I'm staring at the spice rack trying to find "blackening seasoning" for the Cajun beef thing that will be dinner, when around the corner comes "my friend."

I was about 10' from the end of the aisle. I looked up, saw her, she saw me, we both smiled, and I said, "There you are again!"

She replied, "Here I am again!" I had found what I was looking for and said, "Well then, you won't mind if I have another look at your toes, will you?"

To which she said, "Honey, you can look at my toes for as long as you want."

I said, "Okay," and then looked down at her feet. She moved her feet a bit as if to pose them, and after about 3 seconds I looked back up at her and said, "Okay. That's long enough."

This all went down in a very frisky, freindly, flirty way. She knew what was up, I knew what was up, and we had fun with it for a few moments of the day.

As I turned to walk away, I said once more, "God I love those toe rings!"

She replied, "Me too, thanks."

And that was the end of it. Even though I had become more couragous and intended to try and take it even further, I never saw her again.

Scouts honor. This really happened just about an hour ago.

Damn it was fun!
