Many adults with foot fetishes trace their fixation back to a childhood event such as being tickled in their feet during horseplay, some dim distant memory where they simultaneously felt trapped and stimulated. Others speculate that feet, just like genitals and breasts, can attain an allure simply because they’re almost always hidden. According to a Reddit user:
Like butts and genitals, they are rarely displayed openly; even if someone is wearing sandals or barefoot, they’re still standing on their soles, so they’re just not seen as frequently as other body parts. This makes them almost as much of a ‘private’ part.
Another foot fetishist tells Cosmopolitan that around age 15 or 16:

I just realized that instead of the standard boobs and bums, I was obsessed with staring at women’s feet and toes, imagining them in my mouth or rubbing them on my face….I love nice arches, red nail varnish, flip-flops, nicely pedicured, slender but not too thin, just an all-round well-proportioned foot. Generally I like fresh-smelling feet, although I have been known to lick grimy feet in the past to offset the beauty.
WikiFeet is a website where foot fetishists share photos of famous women’s “sexy feet.” Some of the most searched feet on the site are for porn actresses such as Riley Reid, Ava Addams, Abella Danger, Eva Lovia, and Kimmy Granger. In terms of mainstream celebrities, foot fanatics are drawn toward Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Aniston, Anna Kendrik, Emma Watson, and Mila Kunis.
Although safe if practiced within commonly accepted boundaries, the fetish does not always express itself in a benign manner, as in the case of serial killer Jerome Brudos, who developed an affinity for women’s shoes at the age of five and wound up severing the feet of his female murder victims. Oregon seems to be a hotspot for taking foot fetishes too far, as it also was the home of serial killer Leroy Dayton Rogers, who “had a penchant for sawing off his victims’ feet.” And back in 2011, Arkansas police arrested a man identified as the “Toe Suck Fairy,” known for approaching women in stores, complimenting their feet, and asking to suck their toes.
