Foot fetishism, also known as foot partialism or podophilia, is a pronounced sexual interest in feet.[1][2] It is the most common form of sexual fetishism for otherwise non-sexual objects or body parts.[3]
Foot fetishism has been defined as a pronounced sexual interest in feet. For a foot fetishist, points of attraction may include the shape and size of feet, feet soles, toes, jewelry (e.g., toe rings, anklets, etc.), treatments (such as massaging, washing partner's feet or painting partner's toenails), state of dress (e.g., barefoot, flip flops, ballet flats, sandals, high heels,[4] hosiery, socked feet, etc.), foot odor or sensory interaction (e.g., rubbing the foot, smelling, tickling, licking, rubbing genitals on foot, etc.).[5]

Extensions of this fetish include shoes, socks, olfactophilia (odor fetishism) and tickling. Sigmund Freud also considered foot binding as a form of fetishism,[6][7] although this view was disputed.[8]
Odor fetishism (pertaining to the smell of feet) seems to play a major role in foot fetishism, and is closely related to it: in a 1994 study, 45% of those with a foot fetish were found to be aroused by smelly socks or feet, making it one of the most widespread forms of olfactophilia.[9]
It was concluded that the most common fetishes were for body parts or for objects usually associated with body parts (33% and 30%, respectively). Among those people preferring body parts, feet and toes were preferred by the greatest number, with 47% of those sampled preferring them. Among those people preferring objects related to body parts, 32% were in groups related to footwear (shoes, boots, etc.).[3]
Similar to other forms of sexual fetishism, no consensus has yet been established about the specific causes of foot fetishism. While many works on the topic exist, their conclusions are often regarded as highly speculative.[citation needed] In a general sense, sexual fetishism can be caused by a number of factors, no singular cause for any type of fetishism has been conclusively established.[14]
Foot fetishism may be caused by the feet and the genitals occupying adjacent areas of the somatosensory cortex, possibly entailing some neural crosstalk between the two.[16] Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran proposed that an accidental link between these regions could explain the prevalence of foot fetishism.[17]
Some researchers have hypothesized that foot fetishism increases as a response to epidemics of sexually transmitted diseases. In one study, conducted by Dr. A James Giannini at Ohio State University, an increased interest in feet as sexual objects was observed during the great gonorrhea epidemic of twelfth-century Europe, and the syphilis epidemics of the 16th and 19th centuries in Europe.[23] In the same study, the frequency of foot-fetish depictions in pornographic literature was measured over a 30-year interval. An exponential increase was noted during the period of the current AIDS epidemic. In these cases, sexual footplay was viewed as a safe sex alternative.[24] However, the researchers noted that these epidemics overlapped periods of relative female emancipation.[25]
Some of the earliest recorded instances of foot fetishism occur in the erotic poems To a Barefoot Woman and To a Barefoot Boy attributed to the Ancient Greek writer Philostratus.[26][27] The Hindu god Shiva was aroused by the sight of Parvati's feet in the eight-century text Skanda Purana.[28] Another reference to the fetish is made by Bertold of Regensburg in 1220.[29] F. Scott Fitzgerald was described by a mistress as a foot fetishist,[30] and himself referred to a "Freudian shame about his feet".[31]
Actor Idris Elba has confirmed in interviews since 2013 that he has a foot fetish,[32][33][34] for example in 2016 telling UK Esquire "I've got a foot fetish. Women's feet.",[35] and answering in the affirmative to the question while connected to a polygraph for Vanity Fair in 2019.[36] Other contemporary celebrities who have told interviewers, "I have a foot fetish" (or a slight variation thereof) include Brooke Burke,[37] Enrique Iglesias,[38] Tommy Lee,[39] Ludacris,[40] Ricky Martin,[41] and Todd Phillips.[42]
