Do feet gross you out and why??
Feet (bare or in socks) do not bother me. Now, if the bottoms of your feet are black from walking around outside barefooted, that bothers me. But, I don't care otherwise if you do or do not have shoes on, just don't put your feet in my face. Maybe it is because I don't like to wear shoes I feel like this.

I feel about the same way. I actually really like MY feet.
Other's feet don't bother me, unless they stink.

I don't think feet are "pretty" after the age of 2 on most people!  I admit, I am not a foot person. But for me, my feet look even worse if my toenails aren't polished, so they are polished all year! Speaking of dirty feet, what probably grosses me out the most is when people go in public restrooms (at the pool) barefoot. Other than that, seeing people barefoot doesn't bother me at all! |

I was the same way, my mom made me leave my shoes outside and come in and wash my feet when I got home from school. My kids foot odor goes away in June when it's finally warm enough to wear flip flops! |

I wear flipflops and sandals, love being barefoot at home. But when I go to the gynecologist, I always put on a pair of socks. I feel like she has to be subjected to my junk, why make her look at feet too? No logical explanation for it.
ETA: also...don't touch me with your feet. I'm looking at you honey.

If you have seen the nastiness that I have seen in the ER you would always hate feet of any kind. Baby feet excluded.

I don't have a thing against feet, but apparently DD1 does. She's okay with seeing people's feet, but doesn't want them anywhere near her whether they're covered with shoes and socks or not. Heaven help the person who actually touches her with their feet! She's nearly 24 years old, but I have no idea how it started!  |

Feet do not bother me as long as others' feet are not on me.

My daughter has the prettiest adult feet I have ever seen. People even compliment her on them... it is weird!! The creepiest thing that happened to her was when a boy who sat near by her in high school asked if he could please rub them!! EK!! I have no clue where she got them since NOBODY else in the family has them.

I don't think feet are particularly attractive but I've got nothing against them.

meh, keep em over there and i don't really care much about other people's feet. when you see those slideshows on-line of people on the plane in the row behind jam their gross, unkept feet between the seats, that would be too much for me.
although i have been complimented on my feet as well! i was a figure skater and have bad buildup of callus or something on my heels so would never wear strappy sandals or mules when i was younger. around my mid 20s i said "screw it, if you don't like my heels, don't look". turns out i was hiding away these kinda pretty feet! lol!

Feet don't bother me at all. Armpits do. I can't watch men's basketball because of the armpit hair...  We all have our foibles!  |

I'm not ok with others feet on me, but as long as you keep your feet to yourself and they aren't smelling up the room i'm good. My ds though apparently is a freak about feet...a sibling walked into his room without socks and he freaked out, lol. I'd never considered such a thing and am barefoot almost all the time once the good weather is here.

I'm a "Feet are gross" person. What I find most repulsive are women's feet that are not taken care of, yet shown in sandals. Unpolished gross toenails should never be exposed. I wish I had nice feet/toes, but because I don't I never subject other people with mine.

What do I think of feet - not much and not often.
Years in health care forced me to deal with all kinds of feet and I still can't handle them without feeling skeeved.
I really don't even like touching my own feet but would rather I did than have someone else touch them.

I like my feet, I take care of them so they look good in sandals. I give other peoples feet absolutely no thought at all.

I guess they can be pretty unattractive but I rarely notice people's feet to be honest.

I'm with oldcrow in that I tend to typically not give them much thought. I usually don't polish my toenails but I do keep them trimmed and neat and I don't walk around with dirty feet, so there's that. I don't like walking around my own house barefoot much less outside. I pretty much always wear either rubber soled slippers or shoes and socks because I hate stepping in a nearly invisible puddle of dog slobber. (Obviously if I see it, I clean it up but sometimes you FEEL it before you see it, Ewww. I'd rather not.) I have flip flops but usually only wear them at the lake when we're on the boat and my feet might get wet. Now that I've said all that, I recently had foot surgery so I've been thinking about my own foot quite a bit lately! It has a big visible gnarly scar on it currently and I hope it fades. I'll just be happy when I can walk on it without a stupid boot. And I distinctly remember after DD was born asking DH to let me see her feet. I wanted to see if she had straight across even toes like me or the longish middle toe "fingers" like DH has! (FTR, she has straight across toes like mine, LOL.)  |

I'm the same as the ER nurse. I've seen WAY too many nasty feet in the hosp, and I think fee t are nasty nasty dirty. Esp people who go barefoot outside, or flip flops, etc. ick. ick. People should NOT freak out over germs if they go barefoot or without socks, because they are picking up WAY more things on their feet, then their hands I tell ya.

They don't gross me out and they don't turn me on.
I like for my feet to look nice and polished, but in general pay little attention to the feet of anyone else.
Sometimes I notice polish colors on other women if they're wearing sandals, but that's about it.

I'm a "feet are gross" person too. Except babies and toddler's. One Pea had an avatar of her feet with polished nails and every time I came across her threads I'd look at that avatar and shudder inside. I just hate feet. (Sorry to whoever that was, no disrespect).

Don't wanna see them.
Sure don't wanna smell them.
Try not to ever encounter feet. In any way.
Do not touch me w your feet. Do not expect me to get in touch With your feet. Do not attempt to touch my feet. Ever.

I don't mind seeing other people's feet...well I mean I'm not particularly looking, but I just don't notice. But I don't want anyone touching my feet, which is why I've never had a pedicure. And theologically.... on Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday, the day before Good Friday) many churches have a washing of the feet. My church used to have a large bowl/basin with towels nearby. Everyone would line up and you'd wash someone's feet, then sit and the next person would wash yours, etc. We've done away with it though because there were few people who participated. Most stayed in their pews, including me, even when I was co-leading the service. My pastor was all for it so I figured as a worship leader I was "showing hospitality" (as they say) by showing any visitors that it was okay not to participate. ick. |

We go camping a lot and I am always shocked at how many people I see in the bathhouses with bare feet. I can practically see the germs crawling up their legs!!!  |

Feet don't bother me. I don't care if you have polished or unpolished toes. I get a little skeeved if someone has long nails, they have thick toenails, or yellow.

I'm also surprised by the number of people who have said other feet have touched theirs on purpose! It's common courtesy not to do that! |

About 20 years ago I worked at a call center for the JCPENNEY catalog taking phone orders. Men with foot fetishes would call in feigning that they were wanting to order women's shoes but the call would turn nasty quick. We were told that we weren't allowed to hang up on someone for any reason, but if the call got raunchy I hung up. I never understood how feet could be a sexual thing. Ick.

They disgust me. I do not want to see other peoples feet. I do not touch or want to be touched by feet. When someone has toenails that extend inches beyond the front of the toe, I want to vomit. I hate flip flops or sandals on men. So, in summary, I HATE FEET! |

I admit, I am not a foot person. But for me, my feet look even worse if my toenails aren't polished, so they are polished all year!
