Nowadays at my local Target, upon walking by the novels, I swear there are a bunchload with foot and leg suggestive covers to them. Has anyone else noticed this trend also? A certain aisle at Target has a section of them, and there appears to be so so many of them. Anyone else catch this too? Maybe an actual bookstore??

Hey! I was in TARGET the other day and noticed the same thing! Isn't it amazing how many feet and leg (mostly feet) suggestions there are, yet when tell someone you're into feet they think you're a bit strange? Why is that?

I think it's because nonfoot people,think feet are always stinky,and because of that,their gross to them,2 because their used to walk on. 3 they just don't find them attractive.You can show some nonfoot people the light and they'll catch on a little,and the rest just don't get it WallStreetBlues,I guess below the ankle is like a blind spot for nonfoot people. It's only people like us,that can see them. As for the topic I haven't been to target in a while,but when I go I'll be on the look out.

Sometimes the book covers depict a foot/heel standing dominantly on something (e.g. a photograph, a dollar bill, a man's hand ;-) ). Yet I'm willing to bet if you read through such a book, you wouldn't find any such foot-dominant situation within the story.

Reinforcedheelstoes, has there always been that many books though with feet featured on the covers. I remember as a kid, I would have an eye out for these things too, but would only ever see one or two.

This is conclusive proof that the majority of women are crying out for their feet to be worshiped!

Perhaps. But also, marketing people are not stupid. It is their business to spot trends and to go with what will sell their clients' goods and services. Obviously, if ad people didn't believe that feet and legs wouldn't sell merchandise, we wouldn't be seeing so much of them in ads, on book and supermarket magazine covers, etc. With our community becoming more visible and vocal, maybe other footers who had been afraid to identify themselves for fear of ridicule might be a little less reluctant, now that (for better or worse) we seem to be becoming "respectable."
