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!!! I forgot my shower shoes on one camping trip. Luckily it was just DH and I, and only for two nights because no way was I stepping in the shower without some sort of fungus barrier. We have a truck camper, so I took a washcloth "bath" inside. To answer the OP Well, if I had to choose feet vs no feet, I'd take feet. They get me to where I want to go. I prefer to wear socks and shoes, but I don't have the slightest care if someone wants to wear sandals or flip flops. Just no socks with sandals and no toe cleavage.

I don't give them much thought. However, in a public place (except at the beach or when you're getting a pedicure) I think it is common courtesy to have shoes on.

Feet are just another body part to me. I wear flip flops or bare feet as much as possible. I walk outside without shoes all the time. I've been known to kick my shoes off during my prep period and walk around my classroom (tile floor) barefoot. Sometimes a student will come in and laugh at me. No biggie. My nails always have some form of polish on them, usually chipped to hell. My feet are not cute or pretty. I did ballet in pointe shoes for many years. I just don't care. Don't like them, don't look.

I'm a Pisces so it's my finest feature ( well supposed to be if I took better care of them but like Pisces feet they are sensitive ) My germaphobic side kind of gets grossed out by them. My deeper and more open sides appreciate them to help me feel grounded.

I don't like feet. I really don't like dirty feet. I especially don't like ugly feet (ugly means toenails not trimmed, bunions, polish chipped off)

Gross feet make me cringe, but I will only notice the if they are exposed in an inyourface kind of way.
Teenage boy feet/shoes reek and the smell bothers me.
Otherwise I don't typically notice.

Not a huge fan of other people's feet, especially long or dirty toenails.
I remember being behind a woman on an escalator in Debenhams, Sheffield. As it went up, her heels were at my eye level, and the thickened yellow scales of dead skin were a sight to behold. I still have flashbacks and it must have been 10 years ago. How could she not have been aware of it?

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. I wanted to wear my open toe flats to the store this afternoon, but the polish on my big toe was chipped badly. I grabbed my bottle of polish and touched it up in the car. I didn't polish my nails for years because I hated the look of chipped polish. Now that they have those little polish remover wipes, I paint my nails all the time--or have the Diorshow pink nail strengthener--my nails are long and really thick. They don't split or crack. My freshman year of college I had a roommate that really liked painted toes. She ALWAYS had her toes painted, and she encouraged me to paint my toes. She wasn't weird about it, but she said that she thought they were more ladylike and that my feet were too pretty to leave the nails bare. She also polished them for me--we'd polish them while we studied together. I always keep them polished now. I did have a doctor in the ER I went to that would comment on my feet. He wasn't weird or creepy about it, but he would compliment my toenail polish. I was once reading Craigslist and came across an ad where a guy wanted to pay a girl a couple hundred dollars--like $500 for her to come over for a couple hours so he could paint her nails and admire her feet. He said she could do whatever she wanted while he did it--watch TV, read, use his wireless. It was tempting, but I didn't want some guy with an er3ction drooling on my feet--plus I don't like my feet being touched. Also the idea of somebody jerking off to images of my feet is just skeevy. (don't like to think about guys jerking off thinking about me--I hate when guys follow me around stores staring at my chest) One of my roommates had a friend that HATED feet--she couldn't be in the same room with bare feet. She lived across the hall, and she wouldn't stay if one of us had our feet in view. I studied with my back leaning on my bunk bed--I had the bottom--and stretched my legs out. My roommate would have to go to her room. My bunk was too low to sit up in it. I liked it because it was dark. My feet are normally hot, so I rarely wear socks. My dh doesn't have nice looking feet. They're really wide with narrow heels, large joints--especially the base of the toe. His ankle joints are also huge and horse like. I affectionately refer to them as hobbit feet. They look a lot like the feet of the Hobbits in the Lord of Rings' movies. Don't really care what other people do with their feet as long as they're not in my face, touching me, or if someone is clipping the nails in front of me. Especially in public. I don't care if someone files their nails in public, but clipping nails is a solitary activity.

There are so many opportunities for me to overthink things that I just tend not to create more - so I just don't really think about feet. I'm sure if I did, it would be a slippery slope downward. Feet are everywhere in all kinds of forms and I just can't let myself be critical of them or it could be very limiting and frustrating to be among people.

How could she not have been aware of it? She HAD to know. DH has thick weird callouses on his heels. I have bought so many kinds of lotion, tried all kinds of Internet remedies, he has soaked his feet, even bought a Ped Egg thing and nothing gets rid of it long term. Nothing. I wish I could find something that would actually work. I don't know what the deal is because I haven't ever seen anyone else with such dry scaly rhinoceros foot skin.
