Feet... photo (warning...not pretty)

So, I have awful feet. They rarely see daylight, they’re so gnarly. I do my best to pretty them up a bit with some varnish but they’re just awful. Also, I have a lump on my right ankle from years ago when I fell down a hole in the pavement. I had it X-rayed and despite massive bruising/swelling, it wasn’t broken but it’s been a peculiar shape ever since.

It probably sounds silky but, I’m always ashamed of the. In the warmer weather. I see people with SUCH pretty feet and mine are shocking.

Any advice?

Probably sounds “silly” not silky. They’re definitely not silky!

They look really normal.

I can offer solidarity, but not advice.

There's nothing wrong with your feet at all but you might want to try a strap that extends your great toe outwards to prevent bunions in the future (can order cheap online).

They are just feet. No one has particularly pretty feet. You csnt really change the chape of your feet so youve got to just start accepting them

Also please don’t forget that you are seeing your feet from a totally different angle to other people. What you see isn’t what others see.

Excuse me? I have spectacularly beautiful feet. They're my best feature. But I wanted to say that they are definitely not ugly, OP and I have a lump exactly like that on my left ankle. Stood on a rounders bat while belting to first base, 1974. Wretched arthritis in it now.

Stop giving a fuck what anyone else thinks

95% of feet are ugly. Mine are fat even though the rest of me isn’t. I have scars from bunion surgery on both feet and my feet are flat which means they sort of slap in a really inelegant way when I walk.

But... they work. And when I’ve had a pedicure and am wearing nice shoes, they are totally unremarkable, which surely is all feet need to be?

😂 of course...they ARE just feet, I know. Will have a look at the bunion strap. The lumpy right ankle Is often painful and all these years later, still “gives” frequently.

I’ve bought a pale flesh toned nail polish instead of the blood red one I usually have. That might be better.

My feet are painful and arthritic. Have had injections in the past so, I suppose I ought to be grateful that they still work at all 😊
