I comment on women's feet, toes, paint jobs or toe rings in public on a daily basis. It has become quite easy for me to do. I always get a positive response. My wife doesn't mind so I have a green light to talk to strange women about their feet. She has gotten nice compliments on her feet in public quite a few times herself from strangers. She honestly enjoys it when a stranger compliments her feet and toes.
How many of you compliment a complete stranger's feet in public? Please be honest.

When i put not very often I really really really mean not very often. I think I have done it once maybe twice.

I don't because in my opinion it would be a sign of disrespect on my part towards my fiance. With having a FF, feet are a sexual part of the body so by me complimenting a nice polish choice or anklet or cute toes etc. would be the equivalent of saying "nice tits" or "nice ass".
Posted by goodguyneighbor (Member # 2824) on :
I do. The response is generally positive, and has led to many unbelievable adventures over the years.

I haven't done it, and I don't really intend to unless she's specifically asking for my opinion. I guess I'm not as bold as a lot of you.

I try to compliment women on their feet whenever I can. Mind you, I only do it if the situation seems appropriate.
Posted by oneagain (Member # 35859) on :
I've done it before...but I stopped doing it...or very very very selective...as I had a couple women that just seemed so freaked out about anyone noticing their feet...I might as well had a third eye or something!
At work I had complimented some women's shoes/feet...in a very gentle way...some were ok...but again...had some negative backlash...and it wasn't like I was being creepy or breathing heavy...just spoke out to the wrong people!
Posted by ROYALS22262 (Member # 2681) on :
I have wanted to do it probably a thousand times. The truth be told, I have probably done it about twenty times, and i would say 15 of those times was met with a better than expected reaction. That is not that bad a percentage. Of the other 5 times, 2 showed complete dis-interest, and 3 gave me a look or comment that said....get away from me! I will tell you though, that some of the amazingly nice responses made it so, so worth it! I will continue to pick my spots, and hope for the best!

I do it when I think the time and the place are appropriate. What constitutes "appropriate" is hard to pin down; basically, when it feels right to me (when it won't make her uncomfortable, and when it doesn't "make a scene").
Posted by KDCX859 (Member # 25431) on :
I have in the past, but not anymore. I agree with bluetoelover, it would cause stress between my wife and I. She knows I have a foot fetish and I think she would be offended if I went out of my way to compliment some other woman's feet. If it comes up naturally, say hanging with friends, I will compliment and move on, no blood no foul.

agreed, i have seen too many women writing on twitter or youtube (or numerous other major sites) about freaks who have gone up to them and scared the living bejeezus out of them.
when foot fetishists start learning to represent in a better light, then i will also consider joining the bandwagon. until then, i will enjoy my public facade of being one of those "normal" people.

I have to agree with ToeTapper and also ammend my vote to include, while I do it as often as I can, it goes with the caveat so long as the time and place are appropriate.
When it feels right in that moment, not rushed or forced...and yes, above all does not make the lovely woman feel uncomfortable, then feel free to compliment as the situation allows.
Examples...standing in line, and casually talking to a woman next to you who is wearing a lovely pedicure, then yes feel free to compliment her.
Chasing her down the aisle of a store to tell her you think she has lovely feet...not so appropriate.

I never had the courage to compliment a womans feet, other than my wife. There were many times that I would have liked to.

I hope this isn't anyone's approach. I would not even consider chasing a woman down.
It's been rather chilly here the last week or so, I have said to dozens of women (literally) "Wow, you have brave toes! It's freakin' cold out. Cute polish too by the way..." Or, "cool toe ring..." Always at least a smile and a thank you or a short conversation about their feet or foot wear. Usually I will bring my wife up or my wife's feet if the conversation length permits. About 25% of the time my wife will walk up during such a conversation. At that point my wife will engage the woman in conversation herself about how cold her toes get or something like that.
I realize this is quite rare for a wife to do such a thing, but she is very easy going and knows I am really enjoying myself. She is very cool person and is not prone to jealousy. I know that I am very lucky.

Yeah, well have a look at CBF, not to hijack the thread, but I've complimented thousands of ladies on their feet in public.
I guess it seems like second nature to me now going on 8 years. It's usually part of my opening line, "Scuse me miss..."
50-75% are surprised/embarrassed and say stuff like, "OMG No! I need to get a pedicure." However a bit of smooth talking by a knowledgeable party can go a long way in convincing otherwise.
25-50% of the time they're totally interested and it seems all too easy that their shoes just came right off just like that.
Maybe 2-5% look at you like you're some insane weirdo, possibly much higher depending on how selective you are about reading the vibe and body language before opening your mouth.
For example some clueless individual who complimented every lady they saw would probably have poor odds, whereas a more atuned talent scout would only act when appropriate.
That's where the real numbers come into play. I like to go to ultra crowded public places where there are 30,000+ people to choose from, that way odds are good.
I may walk for miles all day and see maybe 5-10 ladies I'm interested in. With a bit of luck and skill some will end up baring their soles.
Many women simply make themselves unapproachable, cell phones, walking too fast, with mom& dad/large boyfriend, etc, etc, etc..... beautiful women rarely go out alone in public so there are an endless array of variables.
After almost a decade of extensive field work, I've come to the simple realization that hot girls do not go outdoors when the weather is poor, or when they're on their periods, the rest is still a mystery.
Posted by mywifesfeet (Member # 2630) on :
I think most of it is the approach. Talking to strangers is not easy for most people. I seem to be able to talk to many strangers about a variety of topics and have good responses. It amazes my friends and my wife. I guess it just comes easy to me naturally.
Posted by curly09 (Member # 33380) on :
All girls will turn down and freak out at the creepy guy in dark shades and over coat drooling saying there feet are delicious and making them stiff. Make a genuine compliment on a womans pedicure,anklet,toe rings or shoes you will always get a good response,As long as you do it in a polite and charming manner.

hey guys im new to the forum and my first foot fetish forum and its amazing
personally i am not good with girls generally and I was shopping at a local mall during the day time by myself. It was a store I liked a lot and saw this employee who I thought was so gorgous and even more so once I saw her beautiful feet. It just looked so... good! I am 21 and she was probably about ... 28-31 I would guess.I was so nervous to tell her and I never had complimented anyone before. I wanted to tell her but I didn't at the same time. So there wasnt much people in the store, noone around I noticed so when she came by to see if I was going to buy the shirt. I said yea and I just told her. I thought perhaps she would smile and say oh thank you or just give a wierd look. Instead she was so flattered by the compliment, she was laughing so hard and I felt like a spotlight was shone on me and she was laughing and smiling all the way to back room and had no response. 5 minutes went by and she was still back there. I was thinking.. is she telling all her co-workers?!? I finally bought the shirt and I was leaving she just said bye with a smile.
That was my only time and probably my last compliment about a girls feet I will ever do. Thakns for the listen
Posted by mywifesfeet (Member # 2630) on :
boii170: She probably just didn't know what to say. If she was pissed she would probably told her manager to ask you to leave. I think you did fine. Many times I just say something like "Cute toes!" or "Cool Polish" and then piont to their toes. Almost always I get a "Thanks" back from the woman. Sometimes more conversation, but not as much as a simple thank you.
Often a simple compliment is better. Just a passing compliment can be great, not only for me, but it may be the only compliment they get all day or even all week.
Posted by boii170 (Member # 41910) on :
I don't think she was pissed either but i think its safe to say that was probably her first compliment of her feet, ya? She laughed so loud! I think a couple of her co-workers just looked over to see what was hapening. I don't doubt girls enjoy the compliment, and that lady probably did but did not know what to say maybe, but I don't want that same feeling I had at that moment and if I can avoid that then I wont compliment strangers. thanks for reply

Posted by Fiona McFee (Member # 39121) on :
I think there's a big difference between complimenting a woman's 'feet' as opposed to her pedicure, her shoes, her toe rings or anklet.
I've done my share of complimenting, but I really don't ever use the word 'feet'. For some reason that seems creepier than complimenting something she's chosen to adorn her feet with.
Posted by mywifesfeet (Member # 2630) on :
I say "cute toes" often. If a woman says "I hate my feet" I always counter with... "Why? you have nice/cute feet". Depending on what she says then I will often say "They look a lot like my wife's feet(even if they don't), I think her feet are really cute."
Never had a woman freak out on me. I guess I must have had really good luck.
Maybe I should try going to Vegas.
Posted by aerodrew (Member # 2682) on :
I have before maybe about 20 times or so... Most of them were in the middle of a conversation w/ somewhat of a lead in and not exactly a comment outta leftfield...
I guess for the most part the random ones were recieved with a puzzled look,, like,, "did he just tell me I have pretty feet?"... I don't recall ever really having an extended conversation...
So I rarely do it anymore,,, but it's sure not cuz I don't have the urge... Because I damn sure do!! I guess what it boils down to is I'm just to nervous what her reaction will be??
On the other hand my wife told me about a time she was waiting for her oil to be changed and she noticed this guy staring at her feet as she dangled her flip flop off her toes... finally he said to her... Miss I just wanted to tell you that you have the prettiest feet and toes I've ever seen... She said back to him.. Well thank you,, I have to keep them nice and pretty for my hubby,,he has a real foot fetish!!

I think flirting with small talk and taking a glance at her feet and then smiling is the only way for me. My body language does it for me. No rejective Yes phone number
Posted by octoberbaseball (Member # 20977) on :
I'm single so I do it, but not to every single pair of feet I see. I may compliment as an ice breaker to talk with a girl.
Posted by realbean (Member # 3172) on :
All of the above!
I dont do it on a regular basis and havent even done it once.
The thing baout being scared my GF will flip out doesn't really apply to me because we've been at someone's house after a party and my friend's girlfriend was barefoot and was absently wiggling her toes etc when she was talking and my girlfriend was ribbing me and trying to draw attention to it.
Sometimes I can't understand her because she's so shy and unassuming then sometimes she'll do something like that where I think shes crazy/dirty!
Posted by feetluvr (Member # 1570) on :
I voted previously but didn't comment then, but would like to now. This has been a great discussion with LOTS of good points.
Personally I think the two biggest factors for success are: 1) how easily you talk to people, particularly strangers and 2) the method and manner that you make your comments.
I'm sure it's much easier for those of you who talk easily to other people. I'm sure your comments come across as much more “matter of fact” then those of us who are not as comfortable with this.
As we've often discussed here the method/manner are critical. The place, the time have to be correct and, as someone mentioned a comment coming out of a conversation is much better received than one coming out of left field. It's unfortunate that giving attention to feet still has this social stigma attached. I think many women would be extremely happy with a man who loved them "head to toe".
I also liked the suggestion of commenting on something specific: nail color, nail art, foot jewelry or footwear rather than just saying she has pretty feet.
I've never commented on another women's feet other than my wife's and probably never will especially if she's with me.
First- I'm not real good at talking to strangers. This is especially true because to me feet are sexually exciting. I'm always afraid that this fact would show through my comments.
Secondly- though we've been faithfully married for 30 years this year, my wife has pretty low self-confidence. As bluetoelover so aptly put it “...me complimenting a nice polish choice or anklet or cute toes, etc. would be the equivalent of saying “nice tit's” or “nice ass”. That's how my wife would interpret it and she would not accept that.
It absolutely fascinates me as to what makes some women sexually confident and others not. In speaking to sexual self confidence it seems to me that there are three ways women, particularly wives can interpret us complimenting another women's feet:
1) It's a totally and truly innocuous comment. It means absolutely nothing, we are not experiencing any arousal from making it and are indeed simply stating a compliment to this person. Our SO truly has no need to feel threatened because our comments mean nothing.
2) We're making the comment becuase we're sexually aroused in a general sense by the sight of these feet but we can funnel/direct our arousal toward our SO. This is the old "you can build your appetite anywhere as long as you satisfy it at home" philosophy. Through the years I've known two couples that openly espoused this philosophy: a former co-worker and his wife and my parents. My mom always pointed out pretty women to my dad, especially on the beach. She obviously had enough self confidence to do this to "feed" his arousal which would be directed towards her. Very cool, very fun and very sexually stimulating IMHO.
I'm assuming that this is the category mywifesfeet and others who do compliment other women's feet fall into. Even more amazing is mywifesfeet's wife's ability to join in the conversation.
How amazing it must be to have a wife with the self/sexual confidence to allow her SO to make comments to other women without being threatened. That must be heaven. Same thing goes for those who allow their SO to photograph them and share the photos.
3) We're making the comment because we're specifically aroused by the sight of these feet and though our sexual outlet may be with our SO we're thinking about the other women's feet during sex. This is what my wife fears/believes I would do, which is why she doesn't allow it. Of course we all know that they can't actually stop it from happening. What's ironic is that, at least for me, if my wife were a #2 I'd actually find that sexual self confidence more arousing and be able to direct that arousal towards her.
Anyway that's my .02 cents worth. Comments are welcome.

I think anyone who's never done it and is a little shy would do well to learn a few ounces of 'Game' first... start chatting to more girls in public and build on attraction a little. Then when you've grown some confidence maybe it might help to throw eventually throw in a foot compliment occasionally and gauge the reactions and get a feel for when it's appropriate...

Posted by Robotron2084 (Member # 33263) on :
I like shoes too so complimenting a woman will likely be on their foot wear. Sometimes a woman has really nicely decorated toes and I will make a quick, "That is a nice pedicure." comment.
Outside of this I rarely say anything at all...we already fighting an uphill battle without the "bad apples" making it tough for the rest of us.

DG is right, you have to segway into it. That is the pick up artist, or "the game" way to go about it. Just to come at a girl with a foot compliment is like coming at a girl telling her you like her. Very few times it goes well, but because you didn't build attraction or any rapport, the majority of the time, it won't.
What do you say after the compliment? Her feet are your only focus, and trust me, she doesn't want to have an entire conversation about her feet.
And fellows, those of you with wives and girlfriends who know or don't know about your foot fetish, you really need to change your way of thinking because you may as well not even look at a woman--period! If you see feet as sexual, then as a man, you should see the rest of a woman that way too. Translation, you can't win! Compliment another woman's feet = you lose. Look at a woman whose feet you can't see = you lose.
