Re: Foot fetish paysites? Your thoughts and advice please.
[QUOTE=RateTheseGuys Wayne;145090]We’ve just wrapped shooting a ton of foot fetish material with an eye to creating a foot fetish paysite. It’s so early we don’t even have a domain name yet, but still we hope to have it up by the end of the month.
Does anyone here run any sites targeting the foot fetish crowd? Any blogs that focus on male feet? Which foot fetish sites have come and gone and which ones made it work and have stuck around?
Do those of you who run other fetish blogs find that foot fetish sites which include nudity can still add to your affiliate sales? Or do you steer clear of it?
Would welcome any opinions related to the exclusively-shot gay foot fetish genre and how to make a success of it.

As a huge foot fetish fan myself, it’s REALLY difficult finding pics and vids that tick my boxes - mainly because I’m into more ‘manly’ feet. Y’know, rough skin, callouses, etc. (I’m looking at you Master Guy and Derek! ;)) which might seem strange but believe me, it’s a whole sub-section that gets regularly overlooked with the never-ending parade of groomed, preened twinks that seem to be prominent on these sites.
Anyway, as other posters have said, there really are so many subsets in the foot community - a quick look at the www.footbuddies.com forums shows this. There’s people crying out for hairy feet, smooth feet, calloused feet, flat feet, veiny feet, clean feet, stinking feet, big toes longer than the next one, the next one longer than the big toe, plus hundreds of other variants I struggle to understand myself.
I thought I’d give you my top 3 foot fetish sites with their pros and cons just for a bit of reference. No order - just alphabetical! In fact, a few of the websites below post previews of their updates on footbuddies, allowing people to comment right away and get a honest response, albeit somewhat entitled!
www.malefeet4u.com: now this website is fantastic! From William Higgins, it mainly features guys showing their feet. Simple! The vast amount of guys they get into their studio means there are feet for everyone; skaters with smooth feet, muscle jocks with nasty gym feet, twinks with overgrown toenails and AAALLL types in between! The sheer volume of models means it CAN cater to all types easily without really trying. Some enjoy the mid-20s buff bods while others enjoy the bemused mid-30 something that looks like he doesn’t know why a man is taking 400-odd pictures of his feet from every angle possible.
www.scottxxx.com: a sort of newcomer on the foot scene. The webmaster Scott used to post pics of his socks, feet and simple worship before branching out. He stresses the ‘straight’ tag quite a lot which, as appealing as it is, is hard to believe when you’ve seen a lot of the models in Triga films or getting fisted on other sites! Updated usually twice weekly, he covers a lot of ground. In fact, his most recent update involves someone getting a foot up his arse but what I find most appealing are the ones where Scott takes centre stage and gets off on a guy’s feet he normally meets at the gym or on Craigslist. Whether true or not, it’s nice to see men not taking notice of the strange man sniffing their toes and focusing solely on the porn they’re watching. Downside is that most of the pics from the updates are screen shots, not HQ pictures.
www.studfeet.com: simple foot site with ‘typical’ normal US guys. Mostly jock types who cover taking off their shoes and socks to getting worshipped or slightly dominating the resident foot guys. They seem to splice in some sets from www.malefootdomination.com (and another foot site that I’m unaware of) from time to time instead of their usual weekly updates which is a bit disappointing. I like this site as it appeals to the natural aspect of feet that I like. Granted, some of these guys just have lovely, smooth feet but there are others, like a trio of gym goers who have dry skin around their toes from being cramped in those trainers lifting weights!
Obviously there is then www.myfriendsfeet.com, www.barefootguys.com and umpteen other successful fetish websites at the top of their game but ultimately the feet just aren’t to my liking so I generally overlook them. You already have a great angle with the domination thing. Your guys are very vocal, cocksure and most of all, convincing! A huge turn-off is when guys just aren’t feeling it and sound like they are reading a script.
So there you go, I’m not in ANY position to give you any advice but I hope getting insight from an actual fetishist might be helpful in some way. Feel free to get in touch if you have any other questions - wanted to keep this brief(!) so didn’t touch on nudity, sex, etc.
Basically, keep up the good work man.
