well, I don't exactly stop reading, but it does kinda ruin the immersion

if you are going to describe every single article of clothing being discarded, and then not mention the shoes (in particular, I mean situations where the characters were clearly wearing shoes because of the context), yeah, it does make my mind go

*SCREEECH* *HALT* "wait what about the shoes?"

or the socks

do I assume they just had sex with the socks on? or took them off at the same time than the shoes

and what about undergarments? sometimes I see fics where shirts, etc. and then pants/breeches are taken off, but then no mention is made of the underwear vOv

I do like it when the author actually does add those details, though

characters taking each other's shoes off :3

Agree with you on this. If you're going to the effort of describing them taking off each article of clothing separately, you need to mention every article of clothing. (Particularly agree with you about the underwear thing. If the characters take off their "pants" but there's no mention of their underpants, I get so confused about "Wait, was that the American usage of pants or the British? Is he standing there naked or just minus trousers?" And then I have to scroll back up to check. But then, I think that's less a problem with the writing and more a problem with me, to be honest)

I'm reminded of the romance novel scene at the beginning of Romancing the Stone where the hero picks up the heroine and they... just sort of levitate up into his horse's saddle. Cracks me up.

It's a similar kind of choice (or negligence) to skip over whatever odd detail might not be completely slick and disrupt the flow of action, no matter how carefully we described all of the other details.

Heh. I like to make my characters trip over themselves and their clothes in their rush to get their shoes off.
