You are so right. You men do deserve your moments in the sun.
Keep in mind that I am not visually into feet but rather a tactile person who enjoys handling feet (tickling and/or massaging). So my reply is coming from thar perspective.
I do take notice of a man's foot purely to gauge his sensuality. I have found that men who at least try to maintain their feet and keep them soft and keep them free of dry flakey skin are more likely to receive and give in the touch department. They understand the importantce of keeping their skin nice to the touch.
If you are wondering why cracked heels etc are such an issue, think of this way: If you are driving down an open road, going fast as you can, wind in the face, etc and all of a sudden you hit dirt, ice, potholes, pedestrian (joking) etc, wouldn't that jolt totally offset if not ruin the sensation. For me it is the same as I glide my palms, or fingers or nails down the soles only to hit callouses, dry skin etc. One just has to worker harder and it doesn't feel as nice.
