Social psychologist Dr. Justin Lehmiller conducted a 2018 study that found that 14% of participants reported having a fantasy about feet. Of course, there is a difference between having a fantasy and a fetish towards feet. The actual number of folks with a full-on fetish is likely lower. Some research shows that of all body parts, the foot is the most likely area to become eroticized, with experts expecting that up to 5% of folks have a fetish towards feet.

In terms of the demographics, it seems like men are more likely to have a foot fetish than women and queer folks are more likely to have a foot fetish than straight folks. Specifically, Lehmiller?s study found that 21% of gay and bisexual men, 18% of heterosexual men, 11% of lesbian and bisexual women, and 5% of heterosexual women ever had a foot fantasy.
