To say one has a foot fetish is rather generic. The term does not irrevocably identify an interest as there is a myriad of sub-interests with the foot at its center. There are people who adore feet and find erotic value in the appearance of feet in many stages of dress, undress, cleanliness, and grooming. For some foot fetishists the craving is purely sexual. They want to feel the soles of the feet, or the toes against the genitalia. They crave the physical sexual contact with feet. Others view the foot as an exquisite object of potential play be it tickling, licking, kissing, sucking, binding, or beating. It could be none of these but instead be all about the accessories for the foot: the shoes, toe rings, ankle bracelets, painted toenails and just the general appearance of a pampered well cared for foot. Still others crave contact with dirty, smelly, calloused "well lived in" feet.
