Do Women now have a more intense Awareness of (their) Feet

Well I began to talk about that topic in my last Katy Perry posting. And also there someone wrote this great comment:

“It is great, that women’s feet now are observed as something aesthetic and that there is a new awareness that they not serve as a sex symbol but that feet rather been seen as a part of the beauty of women, which has not to be hidden.”

I think I cannot say it a better way. But my question is, if women now really have evolved a new awareness for their feet.  Because of the fact that I do not have any female readers I can only tell you about my personal observations...

When you look into some women’s forums on the internet you can still read sentences like “I do not like my feet”, “feet are nasty” or “I hate it if someone touches my feet”.  But if you look a bit further you can also read some neutral and also positive statements like “well my feet belong to my body” or “ I like my feet and I like it to show them”. And of course there is no women- or lifestyle magazine or website which has no advises for beautiful feet in the beauty-section.

 But now to my personal observations:  I will keep this summer forever in my memory. I have never seen so many beautiful feet like in this summer.  Ok. We have had some very hot weeks, but I do not think that was the reason. Even on the first sunny but cold days I saw a lot of women in sandals or flip-flops.  Especially there were hardly ugly feet, so I had to look away. Ok, some pale feet with the typical boring red toenails which does not look good on pale feet. Most of the feet I saw seemed to say “Hey look at me!”.  Either the toenails were painted in screaming or uncommon colours, or the feet were in very fancy shoes.  And also all the unpolished toes (which I like most) were very pretty pedicured or accentuated by beautiful shoes.  According to that I also saw (not very seldom) girls and women who went shopping barefoot in the supermarket.  Ok, their feet were slightly dirty but they looked very good cared for.

Well I do not think that all is a big coincidence.  Ok. No women who walks the streets in for example flip-flops thinks: ”There are so many men out there who love feet”. But I think that more and more women now have an awareness that also feet are beautiful bodyparts and can be extremely sexy.  This is my personal impression.




Oh and I almost forgot about all those celebrities who “spontaneously” began to show their feet on their Twitter pages. Or the female singers who act barefoot in their music videos.

 Overall I would say that there is a new feeling about feet. Or at least that more and more women develop a  more positive attitude towards their feet and feet in general. What do you think?
