TBH dudes with foot fetishes assume no one else knows what a foot fetish is, and that’s where they run into trouble. See: Dan Snyder and Nickolodean.

Example:

Dude 1 openly harasses me about my butt, I hate it and move on with my life

Dude 2 thinks he’s being slick. Talks to me for a few minutes bullshitting/smalltalk before the conversation is suddenly about how I’m on my feet all day and what shoes do you wear and what about your socks and… etc

One is a cat call, the other is some weird social engineering shit that also insults my intelligence. I’m not making this up, these dudes try this on multiple targets until they can find a mark. My coworkers have to deal with it too. Don’t see them a lot but we warn each other about the foot guy.

Sorry to all you normal, respectful people with foot fetishes, I’m sure you give awesome consensual foot rubs.

That poor retired podiatrist keeps getting called a creep for trying to talk about foot health...

He's got his retired gynecologist friend to commiserate with.

My feet are fucked and the easiest way to explain it is with gloves.

Just think about gloves or mittens. They fit over your hand perfectly. I mean it's obvious right? You make hand shaped things for hands, why would you do anything else?

Yet you look at shoes and none of them are fucking foot shaped and everyone acts like this is normal.

So I hate feet, I hate my feet and I'm sure I hate your feet. But I'll still rant about shoes and feet if it comes up.

I recall seeing a lot of "internet hate" at finger shoes. There's even a xkcd of that

Just get ones wide enough for your toes.

I wear altras, makes the world of difference

But also you can get a pair of Whitin Barefoot Shoes for $30. That might be a significantly cheaper start.

Your posture should improve with zero drop shoes. The human body is not made to sit on ever so slight high heels, and 99% sneakers do just that. Wide toe boxes and flexible soles allow you to use the muscles in your feet to walk. Instead of flopping them around like they're made of meat stuffed in a rain boot.
