Not recognising the intrinsic beauty of the human foot is a sign of degeneration. It represents a dysfunctional aestheticism caused by the alienation of the modern man from his own body. Declining podiatric health in Western nations is a result of cheap mass-produced footwear which cramp the toes and disfigure the foot. Feet only become odorous due to being unnaturally trapped in tight, damp conditions -- imagine keeping your hands in both cotton gloves and baseball mits upwards of 12 hours a day. And athlete's foot is considered a "disease of modernity", as it only emerged in the last century as a result of globalism.

It is also worth noting that we most commonly find "foot taboos" among primitive peoples -- think of Arabic and South East Asian where showing the sole of the foot is considered offensive.
