I just happened to randomly come across this on Google. Even though it is a Wikipedia source, I think it is worth the time to read...it's pretty brief, concise and interesting.

I learned about Elmers Batters years ago... he is one of the reasons we are here today celebrating pretty ass feet, IMHO. I consider him the Grand Daddy of the movement in its present form.

Elmer Batters was the man...I have all his books.
This may sound hard to believe but there were already people in the late 1940s publishing BDSM magazines. These people were quite open about their fetishes...mainly bondage & femdom but some were probably also into feet. This was 50 years before the internet!

Its kind of funny to think that people think that none of this existed before the internet became what it is today.
I have one of Elmer's books I bought several years ago, and he also had alot of his material reprinted in Legshow magazine back in the 80s. I think the old feller died not too long ago.

Yeah LeDaemon, Mr Batters passed on in 1997. He's definitely an inspiration and an influence to me. I have a few of his mini magazines, but I still have yet to get his hardcover books.

Yeah, Elmer was the man and the precursor to the modern foot fetish magazines like Leg Show and the others.

The sheer volume of material he put out is staggering. He was doing g/g foot worship way back in the 60's and 70's . One place to get original Batters photos/mags is Ebay, but even though there is a lot of it, it isn't cheap.

I have seen some of Elmer Batters's work reprinted in Leg Show magazine. He did great work and seemed like a great guy in the interviews. Some people in the days of his published work wanted to put him in jail for his "perverted" work. The guy was just one of the few honest men of the time about the beauty of the female foot and how he enjoyed them.

Pioneer? Elmer Batters saved my friggin' life!
Get this. Mr. Batters was in court for charges of lewd behaviour and they tried to prosecute him, but NOT for his pictures of nude women, bare breast, naked ass and pussy. Oh no.
They said his pictures were too provocative, erotic and pornographic in nature. His pictures of STOCKING FEET is the ONLY thing the court had a problem with! The chicks can be naked, after all, this IS California, but Mr. Batters, you simply MUST put some shoes on those stocking feet! Someone might get a boner!
Rest in Peace, bro.

i love Elmer Batters. my favorite of his photos is of these two chicks going at each other's feet. one was blond, the other was brunnette, and both had red toenail polish. man, i wish i could find those pictures again, they were awsome.

I remember the add from the 70's It had a mature lady (looked over 40)with her foot on a gymnastics bar in her reinforced nylon clad with the slogan "Does this make you turid"? Even though I was seventeen at the time I was inspired to write and get more info as I was greatly influnced by this incredible pioneer.
