The Pedicure Issue

One of the biggest gripes foot site fans have is seeing girls with battered, nonpedicured feet. To make matters worse, the photographers shoots these types of feet close up. A foot fan would think a good pedicure, not to mention good feet would be a requirement. Unfortunately, that could not be farther from reality.

Some foot site owners pay for their models pedicures. One site owner does the pedicures himself to make sure he gets what he wants from his shoots. Of course, these guys are the exceptions. You may wonder why are these guys paying girls to get pedicures or giving pedicures when girls already do this for themselves. The truth is, not all girls get pedicures, not even the super pretty ones. Some don't even paint their toes, let alone step into a nail salon. Additionally, pedicures cost money, and take time. Its not uncommon for a girl to get a manicure, and leave her feet undone. So if a site owner requires pedicures, he will have to pay for them, or do them himself.

Now lets discuss the issue of battered feet. Not all foot shoots are scheduled ones. Some are done on the spot, and when a girl takes her shoes off on the spot, you never know what you might see. That scenario is an exception that most foot guys understand. The thing they don't understand is seeing battered feet in scheduled foot shoots. The same reasons apply as when girls show up without pedicures, but there is also another valid reason for it--lifestyle.

Some girls work, go to school, or do both. Although some of their jobs may require them to stand or even dance for long periods of time, they were not hired for their feet. They were hired for their other qualities, talents, and skills. So unless their primary job is foot modeling, chances are the updkeep of their feet is not nearly as important as the upkeep of their above the ankle appearance, their skills, and their minds.

So the next time you see battered or nonpedicured feet, think of these scenarios before stoning the photographer.
