Ladies, when it comes to your feet being an object of attraction or someone who is simply attracted by feet are you disgusted, ambivalent or curious in a good way?
It’s so darned unlikely that I’ve never thought about it.
Nonplussed.
I was trying on shoes in a Dept. store one time and a man sitting next to me started commenting on my feet. Kind of freaked me out, but I was curious and would have loved to ask him what it was about feet that seemed to please him so much.
As far as fetishes go this is the most vanilla, “um. . . so what?” type I can think of. A bit stranger than “You know. . . I hope this doesn’t freak you out, but I really like breasts. . .” but nothing I’d give a second thought. HOWEVER if I ever had someone single me out for attention simply because of a fetish I’d be annoyed-- if I’m dating someone and I find out in the course of things that they are into feet, elbows, piercings, big girls, vinyl, tails, whatever, that’s ok. If someone picked up on me purely because of a fetish that would change the playing field somehow. Like if you were an amputee or disabled or of an odd build or of a particular ethnic group and you were conceived of by the interested suitor primarily as an example of that trait that they are hung up on. . . that would be insulting and slightly disturbing. . . . unless I felt like capitalising on it. My perrogative.
Depends on the level of attraction and its necessity for sexual gratification. My ex had a foot fetish, and the wonderful thing about it was the endless foot-massage-on-demand thing. But when it’s nearly impossible to get, um, intimate without the feet being the focus of the, um, intimacy, it gets old really fast.
I would probably just be confused. I have big (US womens’ 10 or 11 W), smelly (a friend once called it the stench of evil), and flat feet. They’re just not attractive. So I would just wonder what the hell he was talking about. But I guess once I got over that, I’d figure it was okay, as long as he didn’t focus on them exclusively…
now that I’ve changed the minds of anyone who thought I was hot before…
I’m with Antares. I have “biggish” feet (size 9) and they are flat. I will confess my undying gratitude that my feet do not have a stench problem, however.
I don’t think my feet are attractive at all (but as my sister, an amputee, says: “Hey—you have two of them, and they work.”) So, once I got past the “You’re kidding, right?” phase, I guess I would be OK with it, as long as it was not a main focal point. I have no doubt (as TMWSTER has testified) that it would get tiresome if feet were a Big Deal, all of the time.
You know, I just realized in the pantheon of fetish behaviors, and sexual proclivities it has never once been mentioned in my direct observation that someone had a strong desire to have someone else be sexually attracted to their feet. Foot fetishes by the score, but not one single case of “oh, please kiss my feet.”
Now I know a good foot massage is delightful, and can be carried over into a sensual experience that elicits a sexual response in pretty much anyone. Pretty normal stuff, that. But for all that hundreds of people express, or at least acknowledge a strong attraction for feet, no one seems to be on the other end of this fetish behavior for their own interest.
Lots of women like attention to their breasts, to some degree anyway, or feel happy about having a “nice ass” or “good legs,” but no one seems to want their feet to be desired specifically.
Man, things look pretty grim for the toe lovers in the world.

I have always wanted to have beautiful graceful long feet. Instead I have short, fat, peasant feet. Now that I’m older, I have a hard time keeping them from being short, fat, callusey smelly feet. If I had beautiful graceful long feet, I would welcome foot worship. Hell! Why not? The rest of the body has been defeated by gravity.
I have very nice feet. Good toenails (none of that “missing toenail” on my last toe), nice arch, thin, nicely positioned toes…I’d be fine if someone liked my feet. If that was the only thing they liked, though, then I’d have a problem.
Well, I dashed all hopes of ever becoming a foot model when I got those tattoos on my ankles, but I actually really enjoy attention being paid to my feet. I used to date someone who was really big on giving foot massages and such, enjoyed it immensely. My hubby’s not too keen on giving foot rubs, but I’ve been assured it has nothing to do with my feet in particular. I’ve always pampered my feet, never worn high heels in my life except on my wedding day. My feet are neither long nor graceful, but actually really small. I wear a size 5, and my toes are a bit short. If I were rich (or even moderately wealthy!) I suppose I’d even go so far as to get them manicured, but I really don’t care all that much. However, I do wear sandals almost constantly in the summer, and keep them fairly nice.
I’d love it if hubby were more into my feet. I can’t stand regular massages but would be absolutely thrilled to have a nice foot massage/manicure/worship session every now & again.

I’m cursed with ‘dead mens feet’! My feet are the ultimate testimony to the genetic betrayal that is my legacy!
I got my dad’s feet (which in itself is not the most pleasant of things for a young lady) and poor circulation. My toenails curl upwards which is very strange, gotta keep 'em short. My aunt, (thanks very much) told me I looked like I had those shoes with curly up bits and bells on the end. You know the kind? But without the shoes. Yeah, 'cause that helped my self-esteem.
All in all it’d be best if I kept shoes on. But I can’t! I’m a bare feet kinda gal. I hate wearing shoes all the time! Bare feet or sandals, please! sigh They’re not that bad…til you look at them and realise that, in fact, yes they are.
I’d hate for someone to love my feet, I’m so embarrased about them, it’d just be weird. My sister just simply, resolutley connot stand feet! They make her toes curl and she squeals “EEEEUUUWWWWW!!!” I got nothing against other peoples feet, just mine. But at least I HAVE feet that work! Sometimes it bugs the hell out of me, other times I think what the hell am I fussing about?! They’re just feet!
Women, I want to assure you that we are not looking at your feet. We are looking at your ankles!
Since I know that my reaction to someone confessing that they’re fixated on me solely because of my hair color is negative, I don’t see myself responding much better to someone who only wants me for my feet. They sort of resemble bear cub’s - small and wide, though not very hairy- so it’d be an odd admission for a man to make indeed.
Why is it that men have all these fethishes and not women?
This is just another example of the superiority of women, esp when it comes to sex.
I agree with the earlier poster who says that this fetish is one of the more harmless sex problems that men have.
It is men who have problems being potent, not women. It is men who need to fixate on feet, or breasts, or legs, or behinds, or lingerie, or whatever in order to get aroused. It is the men who do the raping, who are the child molestors, who feel the need to crossdress, etc. There are more male homosexuals than female homosexuals. It is men who want those s&m and other worse behaviors. It is men who have problems getting sex, not women. There are a lot more sexy and luring women than sexy men. It is men who go to prostitutes and need pornography. etc.
What percent of men are normal and who have no fixations, no fetishes, no deviations, or no sexual problems at all?
Susanann, you are wrong.
Blanket statements such as
are a) false, b) unsupported by any evidence in your post (hint: we do like to see a cite or two to support such a generalisation) c) show a level of prejudice towards practitioners of BDSM that I find insulting and d) show a level of misandry that I find offensive.
Moving back to the actual OP: I do like a nice bit of foot worship. Bonus points if you can find the “sweet spot”. Mmm-hmm.
I’ve got big (US size 11) hobbit-ish feet - minus the hair that is… They are flat and wide with little sausage shaped toes. So not worthy of worship (IMHO).
Foot massages are wonderful - once past the tickle stage. I have even had my big toe sucked once… OMG … The most unbelievable sensation. Very erotic, but very weird…
I don’t believe this to be so. There are plenty of women who have fetishes, or strong desires when it comes to their partners. I know I do.
I find your attack on men a bit uncalled for Susanann. The generalisations do little to fight ignorance and promote self-awareness and acceptance.
Oh, BTW, as for your comment
Again, not true. I was the one who brought the videos and such into my marriage, not the hubby… 
I’m all about slender, tan, well-shaped feet, with a high arch and beautiful toes. Give the woman a pedicure and a nice coat of toenail polish, put those puppies in a sexy pair of sandals (NOT Birkenstocks - you know, a pair of thong sandals with thin straps, maybe a little stacked heel) and I’m in heaven. I particularly like the contrast betwen the tan top of the woman’s foot and the way that fades into the lighter color of her arch. Grrrrr…
All that being said, I don’t have a foot fetish. The very term implies that gratification can only be achieved by including the body part in the game, and sexy feet aren’t a requirement in my book. The fact that Susan does have wonderfully sexy feet it just another plus.
I have ok feet…they’re not hairy, big, or flat. I use pumice in the summer and always have season-corresponding shade of polish on my toenails. But they’re still feet. I have a hard time liking them and I would sort of have a problem with anyone who did. Not because the guy had a fetish, though. Just because it was about my feet. And they’re feet.
Although those foot massages you talk about do sound yummy…mmmm…
I think the term is “partiality” rather than “fetishism”. Technically, “fetish” refers to attraction to an inanimate object, if I’m not mistaken.
I think the OP’s question refers to men who react to feet the same way you might expect them to react to breasts or legs or ass. I would assume that TMWSTER’s attitude is typical, that any body part focused on to the exclusion of all others is boring. Personally, I’m attracted to women’s breasts, legs, butt, all the traditional places, but I also find pretty feet to be a big turnon. And I might add that whenever I’ve paid attention to a girlfriend’s feet, I’ve received a positive reaction.
Let me tell you something: Little girls have little feet. Big feet does not necessarily mean ugly feet. Remember that.
