How Do Foot Models Care For Their Feet?

A foot model is someone who advertises various footwear products, and as such they have pretty lovely feet!

You may be wondering how do foot models care for their feet in their line of work, so you can use the same regime for yours – we have done our homework, and found the best ways of doing so.

How Do Foot Models Care For Their Feet

If you’re looking for the best way to care for your feet, why not follow the routine of a professional foot model? They definitely know what they’re doing!

Making sure that their feet are smooth and callous-free is an essential part. Often a pumice stone is used, or a professional callous blade.

Moisturising the feet is also crucial to having beautiful feet. You can buy dedicated foot moisturisers for this purpose – or just use a body moisturiser.

Pushing back the cuticles on the toenails is also important, for that smooth, polished look and to keep the nails healthy.

Cutting the nails straight across is important too, as rounding them can cause ingrowing toenails and potential infection.

Foot models generally go for a neutral shade of nail varnish, if they are using it, to ensure that the colours don’t clash with what they are modelling.

Often, a professional pedicure is part of the routine, to ensure that the feet really are as smooth, soft and cared-for as they can possibly be.

Professional foot models are typically very careful about getting blisters, as these can blemish the feet for a long time. Good socks are a must!

Most foot models don’t wear heels on a day to day basis, as this can strain the feet. Low heels or flats are usually the way forward.

How To Be A Good Foot Model

As well as the rather obvious having nice looking feet, there are other qualities that are desirable in a foot model.

• Knowing how to pose with the feet is a big one; showing off those tootsies to their best advantage is key.
• Confidence. As with any modelling, you will need to be confident in yourself, and confident in front of a camera.
• The ability to self-promote. Talent agencies will rarely “discover” a foot model as easily as a face or clothes model. You’ll have to know how to get yourself out there.
• Resilience and persistence. It’s no good giving up if you get rejected by one agency – it is important to keep trying until you crack it.

There is a lot of information out there if you are looking to get into the world of foot modelling; just make sure you do your homework (and stick to a good foot care routine!)

This informative article will tell you everything you know about how to be a good foot model.

What Is The Criteria To Be A Foot Model?

It may sound obvious, but the most important criteria is that you have nice feet. There is very little point trying to be a foot model without this essential part!

The main thing that agencies and photographers will be looking for is nice feet, that are smooth and soft, with toes that are symmetrical.

Most foot models have high arches, as well as long, straight toes which are as symmetrical as possible.

This does not mean that if your feet are not perfect you will stand no chance – there are some things you can do to improve the look of your feet.

You obviously can’t change the physical shape or size of them, but you can make your feet look healthier, smoother and well looked after.

Keeping on top of dry skin is essential, as is moisturising the feet to keep them soft, smooth and supple.

A regular pedicure with a professional is always a good idea, to keep on top of those feet and keep them looking – and feeling – their best.

What Size Feet Do Foot Models Have?

In the same way that standard models vary hugely in size, so do the foot sizes of foot models.

In general, the average size is the same as the average size of anyone’s feet – around a six or a seven, though of course they can be either side of this scale.

Interestingly, some of the top foot models have feet that are significantly larger than the average – even up to a nine or a ten – and of course, half sizes are often present.

In general, the foot size can be anywhere between the smallest to the very largest, and there is an increasing market for larger feet, as humans have had a trend for getting bigger over the last 40 years.

It doesn’t matter enormously what size your feet are; in general the basic look and health of your feet is the most important thing.

How Much Do Foot Models Get Paid?

The amount a foot model gets paid will depend on experience, what agency they are with, plus the amount of experience they have.

On average, a foot model can earn between £20 and £300 per week, depending if they work full time or keep foot modelling as a sideline.

Building up a portfolio of your work is essential, in order to be taken seriously by agencies, so you will have to put yourself out there a fair bit!

If you are looking to get into it as a full time career, it would be wise to keep another part time job until you are fully established, but bear in mind that foot modelling can be a lucrative career.

We would not recommend that you get involved with the many fetish sites that pay money for foot pictures – but you do you, we won’t judge!
