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...

Here I just wanted to talk shoes and recommend some decent merino wool socks.

For real tho, my job has me on my feet for the entirety of my shift - I found an awesome insole that makes the day so much less painful, and I 100% pitch that shit to my coworkers when it comes up, cuz foot pain sucks.

...now this thread has me worried that I've been pinned as 'that guy' lol.

Unfortunately, the ones I'm a fan of have been discontinued. It was the Enduro-Sole by Columbia. I lived near a Columbia clearance store when they got axed, and they had a TON of them for super cheap, so I stocked up.

...and I'm almost out. Q_Q

What made them good is that they're made of a rubbery material that gets soft when it's super hot, so the first thing you'd do when you crack a new pair open is put them in the oven and bake them at like 250* for a few minutes. Take them out, quickly put them in your shoes, step in, and just walk a bit until they cool.

It was hot enough to be uncomfortable, but not so much that you'd actually get burned. Kinda like molding a mouth guard from boiling water.

Anyway, once it conformed to your feet and then cooled, that shape became permanent, so even with a brand new stiff-ass pair of shoes, you pop those insoles in and it'd feel like they've been broken in for years.

There's probably something else on the market that works the same way, but I haven't actually searched, since I've never needed to; but the Columbia ones at least are SO comfortable!

Oven baked insoles. Now I'm closer to having read everything
