Ok Family...I have an issue and maybe you guys and girls can chime in and express how you feel or tell me what you think on the subject...Here it goes...
I can't stand it when people put pictures of feet up in the pic section, on a website, or any where...AND THEY ONLY SHOW A SHOT OF THE SOLES...WTF is that? Ok, I understand that we have "Sole Lovers" and you guys have made me understand and respect the soft wrinkly soles of our favorite feet, but only showing the soles is just crazy...It's like showing me a SRT Viper or a Corvette, AND ONLY SHOWING ME THE BOTTOM...While I might enjoy looking at the exhaust, tire width, etc...I STILL CAN'T SEE THE CAR..I can't make a purchase or cosign on that...RIGHT?..
Please Pic Posters (You are the culprit in most of these cases), Webmasters (It's not very often that you guys do it), etc...Some of your brothers (and Sisters) on this site like tops, arches, toes and ankles...You're killing us, because being primarily a toe and top lover (who later learned to respect and adore all facets of the beautiful female foot) showing me 10 different shots of the soles and no top shot or arch shot just frustrates the hell out of me!...I'm always like..."I wonder what her toes look like..." Please help us...Please show the TOPS/TOES. ARCHES/ANKLES and HEEL/BOTTOMS if possible whenever you post pics...
I know...I know...It's not always possible but please try...
I've been thinking about this for a long time but I just decided that I would mention it....

I agree, I have to see toes. Heels and soles are great but the tops are the iceing on the cake.

I guess I feel the same way when I only get to see the tops. Posted by Spotlight (Member # 25079) on :
As someone who has made it a point over the last few years to post pics of every females feet that I know, I learned quick that you need at least 6 or 7 pics to start a thread and the tops and bottoms must be shown in full detail!

TOPS DEFINITELY! Im also a big fan of seeing both the tops and bottoms of feet, I think there needs to be more showing of the feet tops.
Posted by acebg (Member # 2056) on :
I know there are those who love the tops, so I have some videos that show a lot of the top...many videos I'll move around to show all views.

Point taken. I'm definitely a sole man myself and Lala tells me not to neglect the tops of her feet during shoots. That's her favorite part as well.

Amen TC! This is like the 5th time I'm posting about the same subject. Yes, I like the whole foot, but my favorite part of the foot is the toes.
Posted by Rider Aldebaran (Member # 38525) on :
I agree. The tops are just as--if nor more--important than the soles.
Posted by Jiao (Member # 44950) on :
Tops are good, if there are nice. But some tops are awful, and feet are almost ALWAYS nice in in a sole shot, even if they aren't aren't attractive from the top. My point is, if they ONLY show soles, the top view is probably not hot. Hot soles do not mean hot tops, and visa-versa. And cute toes from the top do not necessarily mean a great toe look from the bottom.
But, it's really ALWAYS personally preference, so why stress.

PS. LeDaemon...Lala's feet are nice from EVERY angle! Posted by jediofthefeet (Member # 1463) on :
DeTrOiT, give it up man. There are webmasters who are on the Most Wanted List when it comes to posting strictly soles. BTW, I'd say with your car analogy, it would be like just showing you the front of the car, no side view or rear view.
You have to consider that many pic posters are merely scavengers...they let someone else do the real hunting, and they come pick up what they find. And what do they find the most??? Soles
If you want to see variety, go to Lord Lucan's section, or stick with the Contribution section. If you venture elsewhere, you will run into what you don't want to see--a monotonous sole show.
Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
I agree with Jiao and Jedi. But I must also admit that I'm guilty as charged when it comes to what Detroit is saying.
Part of this complaint or frustration comes from knowing that there are more guys who are into soles than there are those who prefer the toes. So much so, that toes are often overlooked. If they're not overlooked completely, then some attention will be paid to the toes, but always more so on the soles. When you walk the streets everyday, you see millions of toes as you look down to glance. I suppose the reason there are more sole lovers is that you don't see as many soles throughout the course of one day as you do with the soles and guys are wondering how their soles look like. It's as if we don't get to see the whole foot unless we get to see the soles.
Back in February, it was Spotlight who said, Tops give me the go-ahead. Soles get the job done. This explains the heavy presence of soles on these forums and sites. Ddash chimed in and said, Soles all day. But yes, it is easy to forget to mix it up.
When I started taking pictures of women's feet, it was soles, soles, and more soles. I never felt the need to take shots at the toes because, for one, I'm not a toes guy. Secondly, even when I did take pictures of someone's toes, it did nothing for me. I was never concerned about getting requests for more toe shots because I wasn't charging people a monthly fee to get access to the pictures I've taken. In other words, since I'm not charging people a fee, I can afford to turn down requests because I have nothing to lose because I'm not going to lose money from the person to pay for his membership and that person is going to continue to look at my pictures regardless. If I were to run a site, then I would have to show more and more toes just to keep the fanbase happy even though it would be something that is dull and unfulfilling for me.

quote:Originally posted by Miss_Stellas_SHP: Not going to lie here, one of the things I have picked up on from my husband, is that most feet look great from the soles, but not all feet look good from above.
The last two quotes were added to my list. Actually, I think the second quote hit a lot closer to home for me. But to Kingler's point, looking at pictures of toes on the internet is uneventful, which explains why there are not as many shots of them as the soles.
When I showed my pictures, I got comments from a few people saying how the pictures would've been just as great even if the toes weren't shown, or how I don't need to take pictures of toes because soles tell the whole story, or something along those lines. One person told me that the toes are not that important.
For me, when I look at toe shots, I just skip those and go right to the ones where the soles are shown.
----
Then one day, everything changed for me. Not to the point where I now prefer toes over soles because that will never, ever happen. But a lot has changed about my perspective about just how underrated or underappreciated toes are.
I started taking pictures of their toes because I knew there must've been something about it's appeal that others see that I'm not seeing. I see other toe shots on the internet and to this day they still do very little to nothing for me.
There must be something other than just her pedicure that does her justice. The following link is from one of the first girls who pictures I've taken of her toes.
Even then, I still wasn't completely satisfied. If I knew then what I now know, those toe shots would've been a million times better. In my topic in the Foot Pictures section, I always teased people about how I greatly improved on toe shots to the point where people will look at them in ways that hasn't been seen before, in ways that'll become synonymous with me.
It starts later tonight when I start showing some very, very basic toe shots. Actually, it started with the girl who I showed earlier, but tonight is when toes will be more common. You'll look at them and not be too impressed. You won't. But the transformation starts tonight. By this time in a couple of months from now, people will notice the huge difference.

I was gonna post this EXACT thing. I can't STAND when people post soles only shots and not post any top shots of the toes. The TOES determines whether the whole foot is sexy, NOT the soles. That's just like look at the back view of a woman and it looks good so far and then for her to turn around for a front view and she's all sorts of mess-up. If the TOES are sexy then, everything else falls into place.
Some people only post soles shots because some of their models don't have good looking TOES. It amazes me how some people here go apeshit over a woman's soles and have no clue what the top shots of her toes look like. In short, don't post no half-feet pics if you can't or too lazy to show the WHOLE foot in all its glory. Post the TOES, arches, and soles.....not just 1 part, show them ALL.
Posted by larrrr (Member # 42092) on :
Toes are definetly the first for me. I don't know why, but I find soles more attractive when the woman is in jeans, formal, or any kind of pants really. I find soles to be the sexiest when a woman is in flip flops and pants and as she walks the sole comes up at the arch. So are far as a lot of sole pics I come across where the model isn't in pants, it's about the tops first. To me the tops and how soft or raw they look make the foot. The softer and rawer, the sexier.
Posted by luvbronzefemfeet (Member # 32686) on :
I feel this way about foot only pics with no face.I like face+feet/sole(s) in the camera[Dominant POV] both face+feet in clear view. I sometimes see nice looking "Foot only" pics but because i have no idea who the feet belong to i don't bother commenting.I need to see the face of who the feet belong to.
Posted by Those Toes (Member # 2489) on :
I can put my hand up in this case. And using the car analogy was great. I will put more tops for my top lovers!
Posted by Hal (Member # 3484) on :
Toe-tally agree with Detroit. The only reason not to show toes would be if they are extremely nasty looking.
I'm a toe guy and so are thousands of customers/members of my store and website. I also really like soles and even tend to shoot a bit more sole-photos (about 60% because it is easier to include the face), but toes really do it for me. I can't really understand websites that only show soles (and never show any toes). Seems a little stupid because they are missing out on thousands of customers. And sometimes you can see a slight glimpse of the model's pedicured toes but the photographer is just too damn focused on soles and doesn't even consider taking at least one picture from a top-view That is quite frustrating for us toe-guys.

Posted by FIASCo (Member # 1899) on :
I prefer soles by a mile, but like to see at least one or two top shots as well. If I don't like the tops, then it usually doesn't matter if the soles are pretty or not, because I want both to look good.
This is almost always true regarding faces as well. It is very rare that I can fully appreciate a pair of feet without a face to put them into proper context. Oh, and I need to actually see a photo that includes the face and feet in the same shot. If I see a photo set (or Instagram account) with a face pic here or there, lots of feet photos, but no snapshots that show both together, I keep it moving...
Posted by Ferrari (Member # 3590) on :
I have always wondered if it was a universal fact that a majority of footguys prefer soles to tops.
I agree that it appears here at Wu's the vocal majority prefer soles and thus a majority of the picture posts are skewed towards soles.
For me the perfect foot (which is probably 2% to 3% of women) have perfectly tapered toes from big toe to pinkie. Many very pretty feet are disqualified from the perfect category due to a mismatched pinkie toe. The nail beds on the toes need to be wide and the pinkie nail needs to be symetrically correct with the other toenails.
There is no way I personally can judge if a feet are attractive without seeing the tops.
So for the posters on here or any other free website the results posted will most certainly depict their specific likes. I would like to thank all of the people that share their images on here it is the reason that many of us are Wu's regulars.
A little diversity makes the world go around so for you sole guys throw us tops guys a picture or two in your sole sets every now and then.

pretty much sums up the way i feel as well. i do love all aspects of the female foot but soles will always be my number 1. it is really interesting to see all of our likes and dislikes.

Hate to tell you this man, but I feel the same way. I hate seeing some toes and spread out toes and soles where they have the toes pointing upward and no sole shots. I understand your position to get a complete view of the foot as desired. But you have certain people, and yes I'm one of them who have certain preferences about feet. I'm a sole lover and I love wrinkles, but I don't see scrunched soles enough on here, so to your rant I do take partial offense....lol. If you don't like what you see, then start posting what you want to see then. That's all that I can say about that, but for me, it will always and forever be wrinkled soles for me...

I ask myself what this has to do with the original question/request from Detroit?
He asked for photographers to include at least one photo of toes between the hundreds and hundreds of sole shots that don't show any toe shots at all. That's not too much to ask for, is it? He didn't say only to shoot toes and not include any more sole shots. And I agree with him 110%. If your model goes to the trouble of getting her nails pedicured then at least have the courtesy to take a couple of toe pictures. You can still shoot an additional 300 sole photos in various poses (wrinkles, smooth, dirty, clean, whatever) for the sole lovers, but take some toe pics for us toe-lovers. Seems like common sense to me

Hal, You got Bro...I'm saying exactly that!...If you are a Soles guy and you want to show 100 pics of the soles...I'm just asking for 1 or 2 pics of the toes, arches, Achilles/ ankle and even the legs...I find all of these areas sexy and important..BUT THE TOES AND SOLES ARE A MUST BRO..You have got to show both and If the toes are ugly...LET ME SEE THEM...Why would I settle for ugly ass toes and say,"Her soles look delicious.."...Honestly..outside of the maintenance and up keep part AND THE SHAPE OF THE TOES FROM THE BOTTOM...I would say that..."SOLES ARE UNEVENTFUL"...lol...But that's just my opinion...This wasn't a debate about toes or soles...BUT, I HAVE ADDED A POLL FOR THAT...

I am a soles guy all the way. To me the tops can be a good "foreplay" and to the maximum of their beaty they can only be decribes as cute or even sexy. Soles on the other hand...that's what really get s me going. I don;t think i have ever masturbated to tops shot, never imagined the tops when i cum, never indulged in foot play without the soles being the focus. To me that's where a woman's personality can be reflected. I am really picky about soles though. I have certain preferances about the skin texture, the softness or roughness, the way toes curl from beneath, I want them to be filled with as many wrinkles possible and, ofcourse, I want soles that are able to stink up a whole room if "worked" correctly. But. I can absolutley feel what you are saying. I am from Greece and there is a foot forum there where everybody is posting toe/tops pics and even dares to use the Greek word for sole to describe it. I hate it so much! Damn! So, weather I am a dedicated soles soldier, I can feel you on that buddy!

Moral of the story goes like this my friends:
I come on and post sole shots and toe fans will ask me to post more photos of toes.
or...
I come on and post toe shots and sole fans will ask me to post more photos of soles.
Basically, you can NEVER win. Even if I posted 50/50 sole/toe shots I'm sure the heel and arch fans would complain.
My site has a soles focus because that's what I like. Now that doesn't mean I don't shoot toe shots, but I know where my main fanbase has been, so that's my focus.
