Talking Point: Feet

My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet
- Manolo Blahnik
My feet are like gnarled old tree branches
- Dennis Rodman
They carry our weight, faithfully, up hill, down dale, but do they really ever get the love they deserve? It's a sad fact but often feet, especially as we age, are considered the ugly-bugglys of the body, sorely neglected, way down there at the bottom of our legs; an unsightly extremity. Now of course you may well have the feet of a cherub, all painted nails and feline curves. But lots of us have less than glamorous-looking plates of meat1, with flaky skin, crumbly nails, fallen arches, creaky bones and Hobbit-like hairy toes.
However, this week we're attempting to celebrate all things feet. Let them be more than just a footnote. Let them tip-toe, nay, pirouette into the spotlight. Tell us about your faithful feet.
How would you describe your feet? Do you like them?
Are feet really the most neglected part of our bodies? Do you often get tired feet?
Do you care for your feet? Have you ever had a pedicure?
Have you ever had reflexology?
Do you like adorning your feet with jewellery, fancy socks, beautiful shoes?
Do you even know what your feet look like?
