Don’t put your manky bare feet in sandals for sale

I would have to say that I am not really a fan of adult feet, but I just cannot understand why people feel the need to model sandals that they are trying to sell.
I have attached a pic of a fairly typical one ( of the feet, they don’t all have underwear in the floor in the background).
How can this person seriously think that they are enhancing the desirability of the item?
I do normally just scroll past, but would just like to see if others feel the same.

Good grief. I thought foot fetishises liked cute, pretty feet, not manky hooves.

Some of them probably do - they won't all have exactly the same fetish.

TokyoSushi · 17/10/2023 18:26

Wow. I think the knickers are part of it 🤢

It’s aimed at foot fetishists. You can make a killing with manky feet 👀

Really .... thought it had to be nice petite feet.

I may have just discovered how to make extra money 😂

BoobyDazzler · 17/10/2023 18:28

A friend of mine makes a killing selling pictures of her feet. I’d 100% do it if I knew where to start although my feet are quite nice!

Apparently worn knickers are a thing. I’d sell them too if I knew how to reach my target audience 🤣

🤢🤢🤢
I feel this should come with a TW!

I have just been put off buying second hand shoes for good.

SpacePotato · 17/10/2023 18:33

Definately for the fetishists.

Men will quite literally w*nk over anything.

Those feet should be shown to teenage girls as a warning of what years of cramming your toes into too small and badly fitting shoes will do to your feet.

Aimed at foot fetishists.

Yes the knickers in the background!!

I was taken in by a foot fetishist when I tried to sell some shoes a couple of years ago (no feet pics). He had me going for about 30 minutes - asked for a video call and wanted to see them on me, as it was a present for his wife etc.

I only caught on when I realised I could hear some weird rubbery, squelchy noises in the background 🤮

Helenloveslee4eva · 17/10/2023 18:43

You poor sweet innocent 🤣

fetishists I’m afraid. I’m also not 100% sure if these are XX or XY feet

Kangarude · 17/10/2023 18:48

OMG! I thought foot fetish people would like nice feet, not those bloody hooves. YUK🤮

TheGooseDrankWine · 17/10/2023 19:58

Very useful: As the vendor appears to have mail fungus the shoes would be a health hazard.

LOL at Men will quite literally wnk over anything*.

Another important message for teenage girls.

The whole thing is like a Public Information Broadcast.

Show quote history

OMG that is as hilarious as it is horrific.

You could charge for that sort of thing, you are obviously a natural.

octodrive · 17/10/2023 20:07

What size are they?

  • not looking to buy, juts curios as they look quite large

SheerLucks · 17/10/2023 20:16

@TheGooseDrankWine I couldn't believe he'd fooled me for that long!! My friends still tease me about it...

ActDottie · 17/10/2023 20:30

She needs a serious pedicure!

Quite.

TomatoSandwiches · 17/10/2023 20:35

That can't be comfortable, toes look raw for some reason.

Oblomov23 · 17/10/2023 20:36

Yuk. Feet are horrible anyway, but they are well grim.

Icantsleepagain · 17/10/2023 20:38

What the actual fuck did I just see?
It's up there with manky foot pic on reviews to show how dirty the apartment floor is. Do I need to see your foot? Fuck no.

gamerchick · 17/10/2023 20:39

Yeah, they're not really aimed at the bog standard person OP

There's a million rabbit holes out there for different kinks. Boggles my head like.

Yettisrus2 · 17/10/2023 20:41

Urgh I hate feet anyway but that makes me feel sick. It also makes my feet not look too bad, just in need of a pedicure.

TicTacNicNak · 17/10/2023 20:43

Those toes!!

My young adult DD has lovely hands and feet and has sometimes joked about selling pics. If they go for trotters like this then maybe I have an "in" too 🤣
Do they like dry cracked heels too? 🤣🤣

I'm very, very grateful for this thread. I love second hand items but shoes are soooo off the shopping list now.

yarnwitch · 17/10/2023 20:57

Oh my days. They look like they're missing the last two toes on the left foot!
I would be put off any shoes shown worn with bare feet, but as others have said it has to be a fetish thing 🤢

Farmageddon · 17/10/2023 21:02

Unfortunately the fetishists have infiltrated loads of things.

I was looking for underwear on M&S a while ago, and there were quite a few comments clearly from men getting off on describing wearing them. Gross.
