Tactile wise, I’d be surprised if women feel the wetness of water seeing or pouring through or into shoes much differently than men, so you might get an idea of the texture, feel etc by soaking your feet in some of your own wardrobe shoes and making notes. The feel will vary according to shoe, - the more open it is, ie sandles, the more quickly the water will get in. Some shoes will give feet a bubbling sensation as air and water collide round the foot but that disappears quickly – the warmth, coolness of the water will affect things too, as will the weight of the footwear, especially if swimming rather than wading or standing in a bath or shower.

Well sealed shoes / boots, especially Wellingtons, will only fill once the tops are submerged, so the effect is then different than with shoes where water seeps in through lighter material as well as over the tops. Experiment and congratulations on thinking of asking the wetlook community for advice – good luck with your book. Arthur Chappell

a small question about shoes?

First of, I am actually not a "wetlooker" but I am writing a story where at one point a young lady ends up in water fully clothed(maybe I will share that scene on here if you want ;) when it's finished of course). I am a sucker for small details, so I wanted to ask people who know about it, so I hope I'm in the right place. I was curious, do all shoes make that squelching noise when they are filled with water,or is it only if they are worn with socks? I was curious about flats like these http://l3.zassets.com/images/z/1/4/1/1412872-p-DETAILED.jpg or heels like these http://l6.zassets.com/images/753/7535068/10942-895885-d.jpg. Also, boots like these, will squelch if they are worn without socks? With socks? http://l6.zassets.com/images/z/1/4/1/1412870-p-DETAILED.jpg And, a question specifically for ladies: what does it feel like to swim with these kind of shoes on?
