A foot model is a person who models footwear which can include accessories such as shoes, socks, jewellery and other items. Foot modeling is mostly used in the advertisement of shoes, foot jewellery, socks, toenail polish, fungus treatments, foot supports, etc. It is also popular among foot fetishists.
Famous foot models include Zara Miller, Claire Kesby-Smith, Beverley Brown, Scott Adams and Elisha Cuthbert. Zara Miller and Beverley Brown are well known foot models in the U.K. Scott Adams was the most sought after foot model in the U.S from the mid-1970s until he retired in 1995. He was the top model for Dr. Scholl's during that time.
Famous quotes containing the words foot and/or model:
“Few and signally blessed are those whom Jupiter has destined to be cabbage-planters. For they’ve always one foot on the ground and the other not far from it. Anyone is welcome to argue about felicity and supreme happiness. But the man who plants cabbages I now positively declare to be the happiest of mortals.”
—François Rabelais (c. 1494–1553)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
