Barefoot Facebook Group Bans Foot Fetish Photos

As of 2025-11-11T12:36:29+00:00, a Facebook group dedicated to "barefoot living" in the UK has had to enforce strict new rules to prevent the site from being infiltrated by those with a sexual fetish for feet. The private group, which was set up for those who have decided to forgo wearing shoes while performing a variety of activities, now prohibits members from posting pictures of just their feet or asking others for such images.

The group's administrator, Sian Davis, explained that the new rules were necessary to ensure the group remains a supportive community for those who are comfortable being barefoot. She noted that "some people can be very uncomfortable with feet, and we as a group should be here to support those people and help them to be more comfortable being barefoot." The group now only allows full-length, location-based shots, unless there is a "logical reason" to post a close-up of one's feet.

In recent years, the popularity of barefoot running has risen, with some enthusiasts even tackling entire marathons without shoes. Many of those who have decided to live their lives barefoot claim that it has improved their mental health, posture, and connection with nature. However, going shoeless also carries risks, such as the potential for injuries from stepping on sharp objects.
