Dueling Hobbitt Feet... My Feet Are Uglier Than Yours

In my first post about being at the island with my friends I mentioned how most of us get our toes done and about how my friend Jennifer brought polish so those that didn't could have the treat of painted toes too.  After wine tasting and dinner she brought out the polish to pretty up Kristin and Jude's toes.  I posted a picture of the polishing and Snooty commented about what great feet I have and that she has Hobbit feet. 

I had to fess up and explain those where not my feet, but my athletic friend's feet and that I too have Hobbit feet.  Through email we decided to post about our Hobbit feet and link each other!

I used to love my feet until I went to the Naturopath complaining about having a very sore knee.  I explained to her how and where it hurt and she said, "Take your shoes off."  She examined my feet and promptly said that my right foot was flat, that the arch had completely fallen.  This was contributing to my painful knee.  I was ordered to get Super Feet inserts from REI.

That was three years ago.  The Super Feet caused a reduction of pain in my knee.  At the time I was working at the Pike Place Market and was on my feet all day, so they were a relief for that.  Unfortunately now I only have them in one pair of shoes, that paired with carrying around too much weight and my knee is in almost constant pain again.

But I got off track, this post is about feet!  So here are mine!

Very wide feet, just like a Hobbit!  I also have extremely large big toe.

Although look at that arch?!  I actually have a little one now.  That's encouraging.

However, let's not talk about those little veins around my ankle.

When I get my feet off the ground and they are no all smooshed out like pancakes, I guess they don't look too bad (except for that honkin' big toe!).  But oh my... I really need to do something about that dry skin on my legs!

So who has more Hobbity feet?  Me or Snooty?

I don't think those feet are bad looking at all!!

Are you kidding me? You have lovely feet! My feet would make someone with a foot fetish gag! Maybe that's not exactly a bad thing, lol. But, I'd kill to have your feet, so watch out.

I laughed so hard I had an ab workout. All I can say is that we are own worst critics. Your feet are lovely as far as feet go! I have long skinny toes that could play piano!

You have a great feet. I thought for a second you were talking about hairy feet and I was all "I don't know that I'd share my hairy feet with the blogworld". Glad you're not THAT Frodo-like.

My feet tend to get really dry and the heels sometimes crack (I take better care of them than I used) in the summer. So, yeah, you got my feet beat. Although, throw your feet in some sassy strappy shoes and they will look smokin' hot. That's what I do. Oh yeah, and occasionally I treat myself to a professional pedi.

I am laughing so hard at you two with these feet! Neither of you has bad feet!

Oh dear...I can't decide...I don't like feet under any circumstance, tho they DO make walking easier!

[Treasia/TruckersWife]

I am not a foot person so I refuse to say whose feet may be worse. Both are fine by me. My feet are for sure not the prettiest part of my anatomy either. But mine is the opposite, long, narrow and skinny. Everyone calls them built in skies.

You know I love feet, and I've done a lot of feet professionally so I have pretty good standards. Yours are quite nice. I know you may not think so, but I've seen much, much worse!

Yes, I'm still planning on tonight!

Oh Pshaw!!! Whatever, your feet are totally cute! At least your 2nd and 3rd toes aren't LONGER than your big toe! Love the nail polish colors! :)

You have cute feet! What I want to know is are you so flexible that you could take those side views?
