Footsies might be all fun and games at the dinner table, but bare toes might be a deal-breaker in the bedroom. Do you keep your socks on to hide those dried, cracked feet? You might be one of many who do.
A new survey by footcare brand, Footner, has revealed that about a third of men and women find feet the least attractive body part on the opposite sex. 67% of women surveyed said they were ashamed of their feet and 20% actively avoided situations that would expose them. So much for putting your best foot forward...
Apparently 87% of people surveyed said they dedicate less than £10 a month to footcare, including any professional beauty treatments. From the amount of torture we put our feet through in wearing some of the most painfully uncomfortable shoes, it's not surprising no one particularly fancies looking at those ugly buggers down below.
But we really should give our feet some TLC, especially when we rely on them to keep us standing (literally)! Give your feet a 60-minute beauty treatment with the Footner Exfoliating Socks, £19.99, to remove unwanted hard skin and cracked heel formation. After all, we'll have to reveal them come summertime so we better buff them up before beach season!
According to OPI, the most popular pedicure shade chosen in the UK is the orange and pink coral My Chihuahua Bites, £11, that flatters all skin tones. The colour isn't too bright so the attention is still mostly on those strappy heels rather than the toes themselves.
The study also found that 10% surveyed admitted to having (or knowing someone who has) a foot fetish! When asked about celebrity feet, Kelly Brook topped the poll of fabulous-footed female celebrities, with Victoria Beckham as least desirable. Well, she can't have it all, can she?
