Feet

    That nail fungus ad that keeps popping up is disgusting!
    ... yet strangely fascinating IMO.

    What condition are YOUR feet in? A lot of people seem to be either repulsed by feet, no matter what way they are, or have a fetish for them.
    I'm "meh" about them mostly. My own feet get sore because of slightly fallen arches due to wearing stupidly high heels too much when I was a young 'un, and I do like a visit to the chiropodist for some foot TLC every so often. They also have crap circulation and get stupid cold in the winter, especially in bed.

    Perfect thankfully. I don't have that freakish thing where the second toe is bigger than the big toe. No fungal issues and miraculously my feet never smell.

    People who are grossed out or whatever you want to call it by feet need to just get over it. It's not like they're looking at the two girls one cup video ffs.

    Gets on my bloody nerves when people go mental at the sight of a toe.

    Lol, yea it's ridiculous. I do have a photo I could post though of a football injury I received that would give people reason to be revolted. :D

    I have never gone out with a man who has become a significant other that has not had abnormal feet

    One had a claw instead of a nail.

    My toes positively twinkle like stars on a still, moonless, winter's night.

    People have been known to orgasm on the spot from looking at my feet.

    I don't think your Chiropodist would appreciate you telling all and sundry about their medical conditions let alone the fact that your shagging him.

    Ahhh, the horrors, thanks Femme Fatale - not!.
    That ad on TV with the toe nail nearly lifting off the toe gives me the total creeps.
    Freggin day mares for me for the next week or so and not forgetting about the night mares as well....

    One word: comical.

    I have a morton's toe in which the nail all but fell off from a marathon last year. It is stubborn and refuses to go anywhere and is constantly bruised looking. Aside from that, they're perfect

    Are you wearing joke gorilla tights?

    It looks out of control there but I usually have hair gel on it to make it more attractive looking for the females.

    One of my heels has been hurting me for about a year. I think I permanently damaged it last summer by wearing crappy shoes with no support like Converse All Stars and plimsolls. I wear better shoes now but the pain is still there. I went for a ten mile walk last week and I was in agony walking home.

    Mine overheat, have to run cold water over them sometimes before I go to bed and I always have to leave them hanging out. Otherwise they are OK, couple of unruly hairs on the big toe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 412 ✭✭Rho b


    Thanks the bejeysus there were no pics of dismembered toe nails.
    In fairness to Femme_Fatale this is one of those threads that I should not have clicked into.
    I have no problems with bent/twisted toes or hard skin on heels. Feckin toe nails or more importantly finger nails, thats what really gets to me...
    Methinks that I will not have enough ropes to halter all the day/night mares that Iam going to have to deal with over the next few nights. Thinking Marathon Man at the moment.....

    Feet are absolutely disgusting. Toes especially.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    My feet are manky. I broke my ankle a while back so my right foot is about 2.5 times the size of the other one.
    I have a high instep, and collapsed arches (so, flat feet) I have webbed toes, the third and fourth toe on each foot are webbed together.
    I used those foot peeling masks during the summer, which was supposed to remove dead skin but it came back way worse, so bad that it cracked my heels so now my soles are rough and unsightly. I tend to walk on the balls of my toes too, and pull my toes up towards me when I'm walking so I have very flexible toes :)

    I like my feet :)

    apart from a severely bad ingrown toenail when I was a kid, no issues ;) so I figure it could be a hell of a lot worse :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    What condition are YOUR feet in?

    Mine look like they've been 12 rounds against a cheese grater thanks to psoriasis - bleeding and lots of cracked and peeling skin........yummy or what :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    Perfect thankfully. I don't have that freakish thing where the second toe is bigger than the big toe.
    I do, always thought it was normal until someone politely informed me that it's not, to add insult to injury my abnormal second toe on my right foot is conjoined (webbed) to my third toe. I turned out to be a very good swimmer however.
    I have very very veiny feet, they freak people out, especially small children. My arms and hands are also abnormally veiny.

    :(


    It's also probably a bit sad that all of the above are my best features.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Sometimes i freak my housemate out when I wear vibrams :p that's always funny

    According to multiple persons (to whom I am not related), I have god-like feet. One friend of mine even compared them to perfection of Greek statues.

    I can't say I find feet repulsive or attractive. They're just feet, used for standing. Overly hair feet are kind of gross though, as are feet with long, yellowing nails. Yuck.

    I can't abide foot massages though, or even rubbing them. The weird friction of the ridges at the bottom of the feet and on your fingers gives me the same chills that rubbing certain pieces of fabric does. I also hate the idea of someone pressing things into my bones and muscles. DON'T TOUCH MY FEET.

    Wow. Didn't know I had such a strong opinion.
