After the half marathon last week several people were asking about my feet and one lady wanted to know if she could feel the bottom of my foot. I said of course she could. People seem to be surprised that they are not hard and caloused.
Do people ask to feel the bottom of your feet?

All the time. I prefer showing them off before the race when they are somewhat clean. After, I wouldn't expect anyone to want to touch them. I do require a 5 minute arch massage per showing.
What funny is when they poke your pads and say "can you feel that?"

I had someone ask for a "high-five", from my foot, yesterday whilst waiting at a light!
Yes, to see and feel. That's when you say, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours!" But say it like you're a pervert.
I've had that happen at the Akron marathon and after my last race. I said yes both times. Funny, my feet used to be really ticklish but are not, now.
Get it all the time, before and after so they can compare my foot. I think they are expecting my feet to be trashed or something afterwards. Hasn't happened yet and don't expect that it ever will, and I have ran in some really nasty conditions. They are also surprised how soft my feet are, I tell them as soft as a baby's a$$, this usually gets them laughing.
I had a co-worker comment she thought my feet were probably caloused from all the bf running and walking I do (on my lunch break, they all get to see). I was in the middle of tying my shoe so I slipped it off and showed her. She was surprised when she didn't see any.After the half marathon last week several people were asking about my feet and one lady wanted to know if she could feel the bottom of my foot.

I've had people ask what my feet are like, they ask if they are like leather. They are always surprised to see..... regular feet.
Wow I had no idea that human feet could operate without being encased in protective rubber!

I had forgotten all about that scene. Now I will always think of that when talking about foot massages...
What y'all talking about having soft feet? The contact areas of my feet are smooth, but tough. Tap your fingernail on them it's like tapping plastic almost.
That is, I guess, unless you're NEVER barefoot except when out running.
