Yes, foot people in our community, a Tarantino film often means a sole show, and he doesn't disappoint this time. He outdoes Bridget Fonda in "Jackie Brown," as well as the many soles in "Death Proof." Now, the film's set in 1969, so you may fear "dirty hippie feet," but no, my friends--although most soles and toes are those of Manson family members, they're nice and clean-looking---in fact, the only dirty soles are those of Margo Robbie, who plays decidedly non-hippie, mod starlet Sharon Tate. (SPOILER-TAINTED WARNING: For those squeamish about violence, yes, there's violence, but Tarantino plays with the history books to make it more palatable---and a tad cartoonish, but it works)
Now, it's long and anecdotal, and I don't mean in a "Pulp Fiction" way. Much of the movie is about the Hollywood scene at the time and the vibes therein. Characters' motivations are established, but only generally, as this is more of a time-machine wayback trip that sample a slice of life in the '60s B-movie and TV universe. It only all comes together in the final act. If you're a Hollywood history buff like I am, you'll like it.
