Ditto. I notice feet too, mostly on women. If they are pedicured and maintained (even if you do your own), almost all feet are ok to me. However, with thick callouses and long toenails they just gross me out. As for men’s feet, I’d rather not see them. I’m not a fan of men in sandals of any kind and I wish they would all stop wearing them.
And I’ve had tons of compliments on my feet from men, so I know that a substantial number of the male population do look at feet and notice whether they are nice or not. I like to get pedicured about every two weeks or so. It is a wonderful feeling to have freshly pedicured feet.

I hate men in sandals too!
Do you do pedicures even in the winter when the sandals have been put away? I don’t. No one’s going to see them except Mr. K, so I save the pretty piggies for May to October.
I hate this time of year cause women think we want to see their varicose veins, cellulite thighs, and their gross bare feet. Girls, if your five toes are pointing in eight different directions, spare us the open toed shoes.

The “peep toe” is the fugly-footed girl’s best friend.

Yes, but only because I wear open-toed shoes at work and my feet have to look nice. I can’t ever slack off because of that.

Anyway. Feet (and ankles, I guess): Do you care?
[/QUOTE]
I didn’t used to, until I shattered my leg bone (tibia? fibula? the little one, I can never keep them straight), and ankle bone.
My “repaired” ankle still looks reasonably slim and graceful like an ankle at the back, but the talus is more poked out than the normal foot, and you can see where the outside of the fibula/tibia is a bit wider and clunky looking.
So yeah, I do care, but there’s nothing I can do about it. And at least my feet are normal looking.
If I had weird looking feet, I think that yeah, it would bother me.

Well, here’s a site with an exhaustive catalog of Uma’s feet. I don’t see anything heinous about them, they just look like the feet of a tall, thin woman..
[/QUOTE]
I agree, I don’t see anything wrong with them. She does have a tendency to wear sandals in too small a size though, so that her toes hang over the front of the shoe.
THAT does kind of gross me out, I’ve seen other girls do it too. I want to say “sweetie, the shoe does NOT fit and having your big toe dangling in front there looks horrible”.

Yes I happen to have more photos of Ms Simon: one two three
Okay, admittedly I like the barefoot photos of her.
So, I did a Google image search for Carly Simon (exact phrase) and here are the results: photos of Carly
[/QUOTE]
Well, I must confess I dig the bf pics as well, especially two and three.
But thanks especially for the tip on Google images. I intend to extend my own search, for all photos of Carly, bf or not, to Yahoo images, AltaVista.com images, AOL.com images… well, you get the idea. I’ll let you know what I find.
Well I’m glad you like the photos of Carly.
I just couldn’t resist linking to another photo where she is a barefoot pitcher throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in an amateur baseball club down Cape Cod.
A woman’s feet are pretty meaningless to me, unless we’re talking about a woman with feet the size of Shaq or something. A feature I really care about but some men don’t seem to bring up that often is hair. A woman’s hair is one of the first things I notice.

I think men don’t being it up because, while hair is a huge part of a woman’s overall presentation, often it is such without necessarily drawing attention to itself. Sure, everyone notices waist-length golden tresses, but some men (myself included) don’t notice a well-chosen, well-done hairstyle that flatters a woman’s face and body type. We just think, “wow, she’s cute.”

I only notice feet if they’re misshapen due to bunions or poorly groomed. Even feet with bunions I don’t think look horrible as long as they’re well taken care of. The only feet that really gross me out have dirty, yellow toe nails or sores. 'Course that totally doesn’t keep me from worrying that my feet are too veiny…

Thank you for the Uma link, 'Violet!
Once in college, I had a copy of Playgirl with a rather cute young British guy lounging on his side for the centerfold. It would have been sort of sexy, but for one thing: he was completely nude except he was wearing socks. :eek:
Whenever I looked at the picture all I could think of was “ohmigod maggots must be chewing his toes, what could he possibly be covering up if he is stark naked except for those socks?”
Sorta blehh feet on a man don’t particularly bother me. I still have nightmares about what was hiding inside those socks, though.
Well, this picture of Uma Thurman’s toes do show that they are long and crooked, but not un-cared for. To me, that’s the deal-breaker in attractive/unattractive feet. If they look like you haven’t even looked at them in a long time, much less trimmed nails, scraped calluses, etc., then yuck. My own are fairly attractive, I’m told. (Sorry, no photographic cite. The only pic of my feet I can find is when I’m wearing fugly bright orange nail polish.)
Well I’m glad you like the photos of Carly.
I just couldn’t resist linking to another photo where she is a barefoot pitcher throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in an amateur baseball club down Cape Cod.
(That dress fits her rather well too - doesn’t it?)
[/QUOTE]
Agreed about the dress.
Let me see if I can find it again… One of the many search/service sites I have been on to look both for Carly and for pheetsie fotos had a veritable explosion of models’ feet.
It looks like it would be right up your alley.
Probably WORKSAFE, except for one or two which are sexually suggestive to one degree or another. If that’s a problem, I COULD separate them and insert one at a time (or more) into individual documents and e-mail a few at a time.

I care more about the sensuality of feet than the way they look. Does a woman like her feet worshipped? That’s the one for me. The problem is when I try to get at a woman’s feet and she’s all “they look awful.” So I took a quick pedicure class. Now I can say, “well I’ll fix that.”
