Stilettos can vary in length, some are only an inch off the ground, while other more exotic shoes can have much longer heels. These types of heels are strongly inter-related to the sexual fetishes of shoe fetishism and boot fetishism. These heels can exude a sense of sexual strength and control over a situation or individual, especially ones predisposed with a fetish. On the reverse side, these heels also can represent a sense of danger, as being so small, could create danger standing up for the person wearing them. It provides an all-powerful yet delicate sexual complex that could be one of the driving factors in various shoe and boot fetishes.
