I haven't let anyone see me with socks off since I first discovered my fetish, and was wondering if this is something all of us have in common.

What?

Yes! yes yes yes. Since I started liking feet as a kid I've never wanted to take my socks off, but I'm still living with my family. I've always thought that if me and my girl lived together that I'd be barefoot more.
But around here its more about the temperature. I dont like cold toes!
I'm also like this with other fetishes too. It's really odd yea.

I'm not afraid to have my feet visible - my feet aren't an issue for me. I make sure that they are well-groomed and cared for so that they aren't unsightly.
Like temp1234, my problem is the weather and I do like to keep my feet warm. Also, I live on a lake in the Summer - very difficult to be on a dock or boat for several hours while wearing shoes; they don't go well for swimming, either.

You'll probably find that discussions of male feet don't go over very well with most of the guys here (the girls may be ok with it).
But I'll chime in- like Toetapper I'm not afraid to show my feet. #1- I live in Florida where many guys wear sandals and flip-flops. #2- Though I've never had a pedicure I take good care of my feet. #3- I, and others, think I have very nice looking feet. #4- Since my wife is barefoot most of the year inside the house and only wears sandals and flip-flops most of the year outside the house I do the same. And now that she's so into my fetish and showing off her feet she enjoys me showing mine. I'm not "showing them off" for other guys or girls, but simply showing them for her. I actually find that kinda sexy- it's another thing that we share together.

Yeah, I find it pretty awkward going barefoot.

i'm never afraid of going barefoot, but then i'm a child of the 60's when we went barefoot everywhere, in the spring and summer i'm either barefoot or i wear flip-flops all the time, it just seems natural to not wear shoes and socks.

yep since i became aware of my fetish i never show my feet.

I only show off my feet in my girlfriend's presence! Posted by JKO12 (Member # 30609) on :
Yes even as a small child I disliked showing my own feet. Even now I prefer wearing closed shoes all the time. I am only barefoot when I am actually getting some action, worshiping her foot or being dominated by her.

I keep all parts of my body neat and well-groomed, so have no problem wearing flip flops or going barefoot where apropos.

I would say since having a FF its made me realise the importance of well looked after feet, I take care of mine and im barefoot all the time indoors. Its only right we make a effort to look the best we possibly can.

There is nothing wrong with my feet at all. I've even been told that I have nice feet for a guy but I can't stand being barefoot , especially around people. If I know someone is coming over to my place I'll immediately put on socks. When my girl gets too close to my feet or tries to touch them I get jumpy. I just feel like men's feet should never be visible. Haha

I don't walk in public with my feet exposed. At least, not yet. My girlfriend loves my feet, and I'm seriously considering getting flip-flops or whatever for when it gets warm.
Around the house, I wear socks, except in my room at night.

Interesting...I did when I was a really young kid, before I knew anything about foot fetishism.
I grew out of it a long time ago, I'm not at all bothered now though.

I was developing my foot fetish very very early on, and although I didn't know what it was all about, feet had me fascinated. I loved to see them, and touch them when I could--even my own--but at the same time I had anxiety about them.
I remember this as far back as when I was in nursery school, which would have been around when I was four years old or so. I used to stick my fingers into my shoes to feel and explore my own feet, at times. I enjoyed seeing other people's feet (well, girls' feet). I knew--even though it would be years before I could actually get to do it--that I wanted to have girls' feet in my mouth.
Back when I was at that age, I used to swim in my family's pool, and I would wear rubber flippers on my feet. I loved how fast they made me in the water. It was eventually noticed (by me and my parents, I recall) that my big toe and the next toe were kind of squooshed together so that they overlapped a little--and we surmised that it was because of how close the toe-areas of the flippers pushed them. Nowadays, of course, growth has long since rectified the issue.
I brought that up in relation to the subject of being bashful about having other people see one's feet. I was that way. And as I recall, it had to do with several factors:
- Since I "felt something" about feet, I guess I thought that others would be judging my feet--or worse, that somehow I would give a clue to them that I felt this weird affinity for feet, and I could not bear to have people know that, because even at that young age, I knew that it was odd. - Since I felt my own feet were not as aesthetically appealing as I thought they should be, I was embarrassed about having them seen. I remember feeling that my three siblings (brother & two sisters, all older) were the ones who got the nice-looking feet in the family. I had the overlapping toe thing, and I also had a brown freckle just on the inside of my left pinkie toe. I was always embarrassed about that freckle, and didn't want anyone seeing it.
As I got into pre-teen and teen years, I didn't really carry all these anxieties with me. I kept my sincere love of girls' feet, that's for sure--but I wasn't so hung-up about having other people see my feet, even though I didn't think they were all that good looking. Self-consciousness about my feet never kept me from going to the beach, or to a friend's house to swim, or to a public pool, or to a summer camp.
Fast-forward to my late 20s. I moved to Florida in 1997 at age 25. Shortly after I got here, I was searching for feet online and discovered what was then called The Dirty Sole Society. This was a group (founded by a really idiosyncratic fellow) that focused on the pleasures and health benefits of going barefoot as much as possible. Eventually I hooked up with a later incarnation called the Society for Barefoot Living.
I became a "barefooter." I started going around just about everywhere barefoot, even into stores, movie theaters, restaurants--anywhere I could get away with it. I drove barefoot (and still do). I got to be so comfortable when barefoot that I really do not like the feeling of having shoes on anymore. However, a little over a year ago I got my first motorcycle, and of course I ride with boots on, and so I've had to get used to closed shoes all over again. It's not so bad, because the boots I have are rather comfortable--but if it were practical to ride a motorcycle barefoot, I'd love it. (It's not, though: it's dangerous.)
So here I sit at my computer, barefoot--and comfortable that way. I thank all of you who have read this and I hope that you can find a level of comfort with your own feet, if you haven't already. You don't have to worry about people judging you or your feet--just be your own person. (Everyone judges everyone's everything else already anyway! So what difference would it make to have them judge your feet, too? What can they do to you?)
And I recommend you check out the SBL at Barefooters.org It's a site with a lot of good information on it. PLEASE do not bring up the subject of foot fetishism with them, though. It is NOT what the group is there for.
