Small Foot Fetish

Forget about having a good sense of humour, a sincere smile, or dazzling wit, the way to a man’s heart is through your feet.

A recent study reveals just what men are looking for when it comes to our tootsies.

The poll of 2,000 people showed the feet of mens’ fantasies are size 5, with 3-inch heels and red toenail polish. Nothing specific.

Apparently almost 50 percent of men will check out a woman’s feet on a first date, and a third will make judgements about her character, based on their condition.

With this kind of pressure it’s little wonder women go to extreme lengths in summer to shield the world from what must be some pretty hideous bunions, cracked heels and ingrown toenails. The study found four out of ten women kept their feet hidden in shoes or boots, despite the heat.

Most concerning is the fact that men are attracted to feet donned in high-heels and red nail polish, particularly when this can be the outcome. Not only do we have to make sure our weight, skin, hair, make-up, teeth and clothes are perfect, so too must our feet be.

The news of the perfect foot almost had me shaking in my boots, as my boots are size 12 — considerably larger than the supposed ideal. That was until I discovered that Kate Winslet, Tara Banks, Uma Thurman and Michelle Obama all have feet size 9 plus.

They’re smart, funny and accomplished; not to mention beautiful and desired. Seems us big-footed women are in good company.

So let’s choose to take these sweeping statements with a pinch of salt. After all, if a man decides your feet are a deal-breaker, he wasn’t worth it anyway. Take those boots that were made for walking…and run the hell out of there.
