Help & Advice Wanted

Later this month I have an interview going online with the webmaster from Real Bare Soles.



In three months (July) both this and the Wu's Feet Links Interviews Blog will have been online for two full years. July will also mark the same month I will have been in control of the Wu's Feet Links Feature Model calendar for two years. It's hard to believe that it's been that long already. It feels like only a few months ago we learned of Wu's passing and were left wondering what would happen to his site.

 I will be the first person to admit, things don't feel the same without him. For someone I never met in person, I still miss our online friendship. Whether it was a small exchange about how bad his Redskins were that season, or him telling me how much he enjoyed one of my new models or sets, I'd trade in all of those things right now to have that again.

 Don't get me wrong, that comment is not meant to say I regret taking on these responsibilities. No, not at all. I mean, sometimes I'm left wondering what to write about, who to interview, why someone isn't getting back to me, or countless other things. But the fact of the matter is, I miss Wu and sometimes feel as if I don't do his site justice - especially since I feel like I'm always running behind on things lately. More on that later.

 Many of you have thanked me for the work I've done in regards to Wu's Feet Links as a whole, but I honestly don't do it for that reason. I took on these roles simply because I owed Wu for all he did for Soles of Silk. Without him, I know my site wouldn't have made such a splash or had the constant platform to showcase my work to the masses. When my site debuted in 2004, it was prior to the social media boom we've seen over the recent years. Wu's was the place to go to find your foot fetish fix and in many ways, still is. This is why I still find the time to keep writing blogs, conduct interviews, and plan the feature model calendar.

 Now for some truth, however. Lately I've been a little spent. I was given more responsibilities during the last few months at work and it's starting to take its toll. This is why I said above that I feel like I'm always running behind on things lately. And this is why I've written this particular blog.

 Things aren't going as smoothly as they did when I took these responsibilities back in 2014, but I'm thinking some of you might be able to help. If you could take a few minutes and look over each of the following three sections and give me some feedback, that would be great. Even better, if you think you fit the bill for some of the help wanted requests, please reach out to me ASAP.
The most recent interview was with The Feetosopher and focused a lot on dirty bare feet.

 Wu's Feet Links Interviews Blog

 From the get go the Wu's Feet Links Interviews Blog was something I was excited to resurrect and revamp moving forward in 2014. At first, I had a list of people ready, willing, and able to help me. I had months worth of interviews conducted and waiting to be published. It was awesome. It seemed like everyone wanted to take part. This pace lasted for a while, but then slowly started to dwindle. And now, I've recently gotten to the point where I've been on a month to month basis.

 Part of this is my fault too. I have talked to some people who have agreed to do interviews and I just haven't had the time to get them out. Others, however, I've sent interviews to and heard nothing back from afterward. Some of these people I've had other discussions with, but whenever the interview is mentioned, I get no reply. Had all of those interviews come back, the blog would have interviews lined up until fall. Dealing with that has caused me to fall behind on others I've recently spoke with.

 So yeah, I'm kind of looking for some people to interview. I've talked with a couple of models and content producers recently about doing interviews and they've agreed. If you're someone who fits into either of those categories and would like to be interviewed, please get in touch with me. I'd love to discuss setting something up. I'd also like to hear any suggestions you may have. Keep in mind, however, as much as you'd like me to interview your favorite adult starlets, they'll have to want to do it - or quite honestly, give a rats ass about the fetish.
A few months ago I was on a roll with blogs, such as the one about big feet, with Alice.

 Wu's Feet Links Columns Blog

 I've been a few days late publishing blogs here over recent months (like this one). Hell, this month's blog was actually supposed to be a follow up to last month's, but I didn't get enough input from readers to make it happen. I wanted to contact some people directly, but work and life just got in the way.

 When I originally set out to make this particular blog a reality, I wasn't intending to be the sole (pun intended) writer. I was going to serve as an editor to the main writer/s and oversee everything. Well, it's two years later and I'm still the only one writing.

 In all fairness, I really enjoy doing this when I have the time. I haven't actively looked into having others assist here, but I'm thinking that maybe it's time to bring a couple of people into the picture as fellow writers. If anyone is interested, these are some of the things I'd ask of you:

  • Have an average to above average writing skill. I'm no Shakespeare myself, but I do not want to completely edit someone's writing due to bad grammar, spelling, etc.
  • Be able to contribute somewhat regularly. Like I said, I have life getting in the way of my schedule, so I understand if that happens to you as well. I just don't want people on board who have 50 ideas, but make none of them a reality.
  • Have some kind of foot fetish experiences to draw from. I don't want this to be a fantasy story section. This is more of a real life experiences, views on the fetish, and discussion blog.
  • Foot models and/or content producers are a plus, but not required. If you fit into those categories, great. This blog can be something that gets you a little more exposure. (Note: this isn't a place to turn blogs into advertisements, however.). If you're not a model/producer, I'm still interested if you fit into the other above requirements. And I wouldn't mind offering some free Soles of Silk membership time for your assistance either.

Shelby from NorCal Feet kicked off the 2016 feature model calendar.

Wu's Feet Links Feature Models

This is the one category that has been quite easy to run, with only a few minor hiccups. With only 12 spots open per year, and many people excited about the prospect of being featured, I haven't had too much issue booking the calendar. That being said, there are still a few open months in 2016. If anyone is interested, please read through the requirements below and let me know what month you'd be interested in.

  • You must have an established site, currently online
  • At least 25 photos per set
  • Sets must be all from one shoot (no mixed sets from various models and/or shoots)
  • While we don't mind the inclusion of other fetishes (ex. shoes, stockings, tickling, etc.), we do need the set to predominately focus on foot fetishism
  • Sets/photos are NOT to contain nudity or sexually explicit images (including footjobs and cum covered feet)
  • Sets are exclusive to Wu's Feet Links (meaning it's not a set you posted to your own site, or one that will be)
  • We will need to know the following about the model(s) photographed: Model name, shoe size, site URL, email address, model's favorite polish color, shoe type, foot fetish activity, and favorite parts of her feet.

Here is the entire 2016 feature model calendar, including what has already been published thus far:


I thank all of you who have been positive about all these things over the last 21 months and counting. I hope to hear what you have to say and hope that someone out there might be interested in taking part in some of these things. I know it is a commitment that many of you might not be able to take on, but I won't know unless I ask.

Bigger Feet = More! And More is Better...

Since her debut, Alice's big feet have become two of the most photographed on the site.
"My feet are long and skinny, with toes the length of fingers. I was always made fun of for having long toes, and big feet in general." - Alice 




I'd like to tell a little story - one that stems from a shoot earlier this year with one of the site's newer models named Alice. I've been friends with Alice for a couple of years. She was a coworker mine until recently and we live close to one another. She's only 19, but posed for her first sets while she was still 18 back in April.

 From the start, Alice was a little nervous about how people would react to a certain aspect of her feet - the fact that they're a size 11. From the time Alice first mentioned that she was thinking about modeling, I told her that she was going to have fans simply because she has big feet. Having been teased her entire life about her feet, she really didn't believe me.

 "I certainly did not believe you at first," Alice said. "I was so used to anytime someone talked about my feet, they were making fun of them, but you weren't. You were serious."

 It's not hard to understand why Alice would be hesitant to believe me. For 18 years she's heard it all when it came to her size 11's. She literally hated them for much of her life.

 "When I was younger I grew to hate my feet. I even began wearing socks when I went swimming," Alice explained. "I have endured a lifetime of 'playful' jokes and comments. I would pretend they didn't bother me, but eventually I became very self conscious about my large feet."

 Nevertheless, Alice was a trooper and decided to pose for Soles of Silk anyhow. She always enjoyed being in front of the camera for her friends who are into photography, but I give her a lot of credit for giving the whole foot fetish genre a try. I just hoped that once she saw the positive feedback from her sets, that maybe, just maybe she'd begin to feel differently about her feet.

 It was April of this year when Alice would do her first set. I couldn't wait to get a few photos from the sets up onto the site's Instagram (@SolesofSilk) and Twitter (@SolesofSilk) pages. Any positive feedback on those would only serve to strengthen what I had been telling her all along. I turned out to be right!
Preview shots from Alice's first two sets and the positive feedback which resulted.

 "I honestly just didn't think people would say anything at all. I didn't expect to get so many likes or retweets. Everything seemed to be just so positive and sweet," Alice said.

 In the weeks following, Alice's first set was added to the site. Her photos made their way to the Wu's Feet Links Forum where even more positive comments were left for the site's newest model. Like I always do, I shared them with her. Needless to say, it made her so happy to read all the kind words.

 Now I had feedback, from multiple sources, over the span of a couple of weeks saying how much they loved Alice and her size 11 feet. Mission accomplished! Now Alice knew her feet weren't as bad as she had come to view them. 

 A few months later, however, something happened during a shoot she did with our mutual friend, Camille, that really made my day. It was the first set - a solo one of just Alice. I wanted Camille to see what it would be like when she shot her first set immediately following. About half way through Alice's set, she claimed that posing for Soles of Silk had made her so much more accepting of her own feet and she thinks of them differently now.

 "My feet are long and skinny, with toes the length of fingers. I was always made fun of for having long toes, and big feet in general," Alice explained. "Now I look at my feet and realize, 'Hey, they're not so bad. They're kind of cute, actually.'"

 Alice saying that made me proud. Soles of Silk, and the photos I take for it, made her feel better about herself. This wasn't someone just happy to be getting paid for taking photos. This was a real experience, with a friend, where it made me feel good.

 Over the years I've encountered countless women who claimed their feet were "ugly," "gross," or whatever other negative word you can come up with. For the most part, however, none of those girls had to go through years of teasing and ridicule over their feet. They just never thought much of them until they began posing for Soles of Silk. So for Alice to have that shift in thinking, it meant a lot to hear her say that. She deserves to feel that way. She's a total sweetheart!

 With that newly found confidence, Alice has gone on to pose for 11 sets from her debut in April until the last one we shot in October. Very few times have I shot 11 sets or more of a model in a single year, let alone one brand new to the site. And that brings me to my next point.

 Alice's big feet captivate me. 

 Alice has caused a growing appreciation of big feet within me. Even though I've had a handful of experiences with models with a shoe size over 10, Alice, for some reason, has me paying a little extra attention to "size," if you will. While I won't claim to a big feet only person, this  specific attraction has never been this strong for me. For other people, however, that's a preference they've been exploring for some time.
I couldn't wait to see Alice's feet encased in nude stockings.

 When I came up with the idea to do this column topic I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to some of the fans of big feet. I made a thread on the Wu's Feet Links Forum asking for those who have this attraction to contact me. Almost immediately I began getting private messages from people telling me how much they love big feet and would love to take part in the column.

 As anyone with a foot fetish knows, what you like isn't what the next guy likes. I wasn't sure what kind of response I'd get when asking everyone why they specifically like big feet over smaller feet. Once the replies began coming in, however, I saw a trend. A trend that "more" is better. Just look how many times the word "more" was used in the replies to that question alone:
"More to love. More soles to taste. Just love having a bigger handful. There is more personality and flexibility. More curves to adore." - Oneagain
"If you think about it, size has always been an important factor in sexuality. Whether it's height and muscle mass for men, or breast and ass size for women, there seems to be a universal appreciation for size. As someone with a foot fetish, I view feet with the same sexual significance as I do breasts or ass. So in the same way I would view a large pair of breasts as being sexually desirable in a woman, I also view a large pair of feet as being sexually desirable. If you find something sexually desirable, you kind of want more of it. Bigger size gives you that." - Sol
"The more to hold onto with your hands!" - Dougiezerts
"The more you can work with, the better. I'm not a small guy down there, so a pair of big feet to slide in between is just best for me. And as I mentioned before, there's more to lick. With [small] feet, you cover every inch pretty quickly. With big feet you can go on for a while because by the time you get back to a spot you covered, it's been so much time it's like you were never there." - Icecold
"Women with big feet show more wrinkles on their soles." - Fwrinkledsoles
"More square tactile surface to enjoy - to play with." - Glabrous1

 I can honestly say during the shoots Alice and I have done this year, "more" certainly applied when it came to massaging her heavenly feet. Having so much area for my fingers to press into along her smooth soles was quickly evident. Since I also love shoving my fingers between a woman's toes, I found so much space between Alice's long, wide spreading toes. Needless to say, I was in my own little world pampering her feet and am grateful for her allowing me the privilege to do so. Don't even get me started on the added bonus of them being sweaty - that's another column topic for another time! I wonder if she'd take part in that one?

Who better to do a size teasing set than a girl with plenty of shoe size?

 So at a size 11, Alice's feet are tied for the largest on Soles of Silk with Molly. This begs the question, however, what constitutes big to a fan of big feet?

 "Shoe size 9 and larger I consider big feet," Fwrinkledsoles said.

 "10, but 9's make my mouth water as well!" said Oneagain.

 "10 and above I would consider big," said Icecold.

 "The minimum I would consider big is a US size 10 (EU 41/UK 7), but the average shoe size is increasing so much that a US size 10 is really common nowadays," Sol explained. "It's only with a US size 11 (EU 42/UK 8) or bigger that a woman's feet will really catch my attention."

 Overall, the smallest answer given to me was a size 9 (US), but most seemed to agree that it's 10 or larger. For many of those I spoke with, however, they weren't always into the bigger feet. It's something that evolved as their foot fetish began to grow.

 "I actually had a preference for petite and dainty feet way back when I first discovered my fetish. This evolved into a love for long toes and eventually carried over to a love for big feet," Sol said.

 "The first time I got a hold of some. It was a big girl, and I noticed she had nice feet. The amount of wrinkles on them was amazing!" Icecold shared.

 "Originally the smaller the better, I thought. But as I grew, my desire for bigger feet came along and it's my preference without any signs of me going back," Oneagain explained.

 For others, they were hard pressed to find an exact time or reason for liking bigger feet - they just do. Any foot fetishist can probably relate to that. It's like asking, "When did you first realize you liked feet?" It's next to impossible to answer. Most of us just did.

 When it comes to foot fetishists who love bigger feet one thing is for sure. The kind words Alice has received since her debut were key in making her feel better about herself and her feet. My words went only so far. It was people like the ones above who made that happen, some of whom have their own similar experiences.

 "A few years ago I encouraged my wife to put pictures of her feet on Wu's Feet Links. She got a lot of great feedback and she's a size 10. Before that she was really self conscious about her feet. So I know from experience that Wu's is a great place to conquer their fears and self consciousness," Icecold explains.

 "I think forums like Wu's can help show there are a lot of fans that love big feet," Oneagain said. "In general, social media, in whatever form, could be a great way to show direct feedback of appreciation."

 Believe me guys, I share those comments with my models from places like Wu's Feet Links regularly. Between social media and Wu's, the things Alice has now read online about her feet has  given me a model who is ready to pose whenever I ask. Not bad, if you ask me.

 In more private conversations, Alice also admitted to being much more interested in foot fetishism as a whole now too. Apparently, she's explored some different things on her own, off camera as far as her feet are concerned.

 "I know how to use them, if you get what I'm saying. I am just more thoughtful towards my feet now," Alice said.

 Guess she'd make quite a few foot guys happy with a mindset like that, wouldn't you say? I'm sure her boyfriend would agree after she shared a certain little tidbit with me.

 "My boyfriend and I both wanted to try new things, so I gave my first footjob! And well, posing my feet pretty much made me a natural at using them. I had so much fun doing it too! My feet pretty much were bigger than you know what - which I know can be a turn on to some. I just felt so in control over him, and he enjoyed it as well," Alice boasted.

 I'm jealous, which was probably Alice's intention in sharing that with me. Anyhow, in all seriousness, I thank Alice for giving this a try and I thank all of you out there who take the time to commend a model for a job well done.
Alice loves pinup photography and wants to do sets with that theme in mind.

Foot Fetish Memories from My Teens

I'm very comfortable with my fetish now, but I wasn't always.


As I mentioned earlier in the week on the Wu's Feet Links Forum, in a thread titled, "This Month's Wu's Feet Links Column," I was running way behind on this month's blog entry. Part of me understands why some of the other girls who had written these in the past had ceased doing them after a few months or a few years. A deadline sure an sneak up on you! And if you're like me, you feel bad if you don't deliver as promised.

 More than ever, these last couple of months have been quite demanding on me. Not only do I run Soles of Silk and help with Wu's Feet Links when it comes to this blog, the interviews, and feature model calendar, but I also work a full time job and do a bunch of advertising and product design for it outside of the workplace. That advertising and product design is what has been kicking my ass lately. Just a bunch of time sensitive items being given to me back to back without much of break in between.

 Not wanting to skip a month on the blog, however, I decided to come up with something I can do based on my experiences. I have totally enjoyed interviewing people for topics in some of the past columns, but this entry is already late and I can't depend on people to be able to answer questions ASAP. Plus, it wouldn't be fair of me to expect them to be prompt when I've been tied up myself.

 With that in mind, I began thinking of some topics that I've been asked about over the years. That's when I came up with the idea to write about some of my early foot fetish experiences growing up. I like to ask about these when I interview people because it gives us a glimpse into what they faced early on. And while I've talked a lot about my Soles of Silk and former The 10 Little Piggies experiences, I feel like I haven't really mentioned what it was like before all that came to be.

 I wasn't always comfortable with my foot fetish when I was younger. I did, however, find ways to get my foot fix in the years leading up to meeting Abby, my former girlfriend and probably the single biggest reason I became so comfortable with this fetish. You'll see her mentioned a couple of times in this article too.

In addition to Abby's experience, I've listed five other memorable experiences that involved female feet. These aren't every experience I ever had, just some that stuck out and that I've not forgotten. I didn't even mention the first girl whose feet I got to play with on a regular basis - my first real girlfriend, Amanda. While she allowed me access to her feet, no particular instance stands out. Just know that she fell somewhere between the first two experiences below.

 I hope this is fun little read for people. Again, I apologize for it being late and hope I'm able to have a little more free time in the coming weeks.

Bowling - Rainbow Toes


 When I was younger, one of my best friends moved away. To try to get me to meet some new kids and make new friends, my mother signed me up for a duckpin bowling league. If you're unfamiliar with duckpins, just know it's a three ball variation of the standard game with much smaller balls and pins. For more information, check it out on Google as it's not exactly important to the story.

 Anyhow, over the years I became pretty good at the sport and joined a travel league. At the end of every year we would do a challenge match against teams from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. It was at one of these matches I had a fun little experience with a girl who had her toenails painted all different colors.

 Both of our teams had been eliminated from the up the ladder finals. She was from Connecticut, I believe. We were sitting out front of the bowling alley, which featured a large concrete porch and staircase. Mostly everyone was still inside watching the matches take place. Meanwhile I was just outside making small talk with this girl.

 I made a comment about her toenails being flashy and she asked me if I liked them. I said I did. Now, I wasn't open about my foot fetish at this point, so I kept it at that. But when she said her feet hurt, I offered a massage to see what response I'd get. Believe me, my heart began racing once I asked. I didn't know what the response would be.

 Fast forward a few minutes and there I was, in my early high school years, giving this girl a foot massage out in front of the bowling alley and she obviously took me up on the offer. She was very chill and thought it was so relaxing. I don't even remember how long the massage was, but I know it wasn't short either. I do recall totally being a dork at one point and doing the "This little piggy" thing to her when I accidentally tickled her.

 Since I was still very shy about my fetish during this portion of my life, I felt like I had hit the lottery with this experience. In the grand scheme of things, it's far from the most interesting or wildest experience I've had with female feet, but it was still memorable for the time.

Bowling - Munchkins


 Sticking with the bowling and the challenge match theme, a few years later, between my junior and senior year of high school, our bowling league once again was up in Connecticut for the tournament. This time, however, my experience was much more "sweet" and took place with a girl in my own league that I admired at the time. One who was also the daughter of my mother's supervisor.

 Our bowling league would always rent out hotel rooms for our tournament for several days when we'd visit Connecticut. Well, after our bus arrived and we all checked in, a bunch of us were out mingling with each other to see where our rooms were. I ended up making my way to Lisa's room at some point.

 Lisa, or someone in her room, had bought Dunkin Donuts Munchkins at one of the rest stops on our drive north. While I was in Lisa's room, she and one of the other girls were giving me a hard time. I told her I'd throw a Munchkin at her if she didn't stop. Well, she reached over and threw one at me instead, but missed. I jumped up and grabbed the box and pulled another one out. I sat on top of her and told her to say she was sorry, or I was going to smash one on her. She began kicking at me to get me off, refusing to apologize. I took that donut and did what I promised.

 I grabbed Lisa's foot as she tried to kick me and smashed the donut right up into her pudgy toes. I was lucky enough to have grabbed one with pudding, or some kind of vanilla cream inside of it too. Lisa squealed and I just kept smearing it into her toes.

 Lisa was finally able to wiggle free and she ran over to the other side of the bed by the window. She called for a truce. I said okay and backed down. A few seconds later, however, Lisa lunged for the Munchkins to try and get me. I won out again and grabbed the box. We wrestled around and I smashed another donut in her toes and she just giggled beyond belief.

 It was around this time one of the coaches came by and I didn't think sitting on top of Lisa would look good, so I got up. We were both breathing a little heavy and smirking when the coach gave us this weird look. Lisa hid her feet and the coach never saw the pudding and cinnamon all over the carpet between the beds.

 As for the other girl who was in the room, she stayed out of it and laughed her ass off when Lisa got her toes all gooey.

 A funny side note to this experience, when my 12th grade English teacher asked us to write the standard "What I did over the summer" paper when we first went back to school, I wrote about this whole experience. I also wrote about it in much more detail. I only wish I still had it saved.

Photography Class


 While I was in high school, mostly during my senior year, I practically asked any and every girl I thought looked cute to model for some photos for my photography class. One of the art teachers used to ask me if there were any girls I didn't shoot.

 Whenever I would get one of the girls at school to pose I'd always find a reason to need them to take their shoes off for the photos. Sometimes I'd even ask them to do poses with socks and/or shoes being pulled off. Every so often the girls thought it was weird, but I never remember being told no.

 While this didn't net me many hands on experiences since I was in class at the time, I'd sometimes get a cheap feel, or playful foot rub in. It's also how I first got to feel Abby's super soft feet.

 Abby always knew I had a foot fetish. I think she could see it in my work. When I finally asked her to pose for some photos, she wore these strappy shoes - per my request, of course. See, she'd wear these shoes in class and since I sat two rows behind her, her feet often distracted the ever living hell out of me. So yeah, I asked her to wear them.

 When I was shooting photos of Abby in one of the small private rooms, I got down to her feet for the last few shots I needed. That's when Abby told me her feet are so smooth that she had slipped going down the steps a time or two. She then kicked off her shoes and told me to feel her soles. She wanted to prove how smooth her soles were, but also admitted years later to wanting me to touch her feet at the time. I was caught off guard, but I sure as hell wasn't turning down the offer. And boy was she ever right! It sure wouldn't be the last time she'd tease me, and do it knowingly either.

Senior Week


After graduation I made my way to Ocean City, Md. with my friends. I thought I had it made. I was staying in a room with two female classmates - one of which I thought was gorgeous. Sadly, the weather sucked though and the girls were content to stay in. I, on the other hand, went out and hung out at a friend's place and got pretty trashed. I actually ended up staying with them the entire time in a room I didn't even pay for.

 On one of the nights I was walking around with my buddy Chris and his 21 year old brother. With Chris' brother being 21, it meant we were able to get some alcohol. Well, after returning from the liquor store, the three of us met some girls from Pennsylvania. We walked around on the boardwalk for a while with them, eventually making it back to their hotel.

 While Chris, his brother, and I were hanging out with these girls, the one complained about her feet hurting from walking the boardwalk. Again, I came to the rescue and said I'd give them a massage. At first she said she wasn't sure as no one really rubbed her feet before. I assured her she'd like it. She said what the hell and stuck her feet in my lap.

 After a while she said, "You weren't kidding about this feeling good. Now only if someone was rubbing my shoulders..."

 That's when Chris' brother reached over and rubbed her shoulders. I don't remember this girl's name, but one of her friends called her a spoiled bitch and laughed. Chris' brother didn't really rub her shoulders for too long though. He was busy trying to talk to one of the other girls.

 Sadly, before any of this could go further, apparently someone called the cops on some other people at the hotel who weren't registered guests. Even though it wasn't our hotel either, we weren't the ones who had the cops called on us. The police still asked us to leave nonetheless.

McDonald's Fries


 After senior week was over and the rest of the summer played out, college had begun. But one day I took a trip to the mall and who did I run into? Abby. It had been months since I had seen her and we struck up a long conversation. It ultimately led to Abby giving me her phone number.

 One day when I didn't have class I called Abby and she told me to come over. She was babysitting her manager's kid that day and was bored. I told her I was just about to go to McDonald's before she told me to come over, so if she wanted me to, I'd pick her up something too. She did.

 After I arrived at Abby's house, my first visit ever to her place, we sat in her living room watching TV. The McDonald's food sat on the coffee table and at one point a French fry fell onto the ground.

 Before I could grab the fry, Abby grabbed it with her toes. She asked me if I wanted to eat it and stuck her foot to my face. Needless to say, I was dumbfounded.

 I don't remember what she said at that point, but she basically told me she always knew I had a thing for feet and she thought it was so cute. With that being said, I ate the fry and then gave Abby the first of many foot massages I'd end up giving her. 

 Within a month or so we were officially dating and she's the one who made me feel unashamed of having a foot fetish. She began telling her female friends, which embarrassed me at first, but then made me own it and love it even more. Hell, Abby even had some of her friends pose for me and she even let me rub their feet sometimes.

 I hope you enjoyed this old stroll down memory lane for me. I wasn't always comfortable admitting my fetish to people, even though many probably suspected it. Oh, the good old days!

 How about you? What were some of your early experiences like growing up with a foot fetish? Have you grown to be more comfortable with it over time?

The Months After Wu




"I couldn't do any of of these things on my own, however. I needed the help of the Wu's Feet Links community and boy have they ever stepped up in the months after Wu!"
- Patrick 


 So here we are in 2015. The year that was 2014 is no more and there are many things to look forward to as far as Wu's Feet Links is concerned. In this particular blog entry, however, I will not be getting feedback and/or opinions from other people in the foot fetish community. No, this time around all the words below are my own. This is me, Patrick, from Soles of Silk, reaching out to all of you to say thanks!

 For those who may be new to Wu's Feet Links or somehow missed the news, back in May 2014, we learned that the man who has silently brought us one of the best foot fetish sites ever to grace the Internet had passed away. Many of us web masters, photographers, and models owed a lot of our success to him. A lot of foot fetish fans owed a lot to him for years of constant updates in bringing some of the best foot fetish content from around the web to the masses. Once we knew this great man had passed away, none of us knew what to expect. Would we lose the great site that is Wu's Feet Links?

 No.

 Soon after learning of Wu's passing I contacted Phil from Big Horn Enterprises, the hosting company for both Wu's Feet Links and Soles of Silk. I expressed my desire to have Wu's Feet Links stay a part of the online foot fetish landscape and assist in any way that I could. Phil agreed and we came up with some plans, even polling the users of the Wu's Feet Links Forum when it came to the sections they most enjoyed. We knew we had a task ahead of us, especially Phil who was tasked with maintaining the physical site itself. 

 Within a few weeks Phil had a new method of adding updated sites to the Links section. He then turned his attention to one of the site's most popular sections, Contributions. In the past Wu was very selective of the contributions he published to the site. Wanting to open things up a little bit more, Phil came up with a contributions upload tool which now allowed people to upload their photos themselves. Previously all contributions were emailed directly to Wu and then he would post them. Although each person does what works best for them, Phil is already a busy man and that is just not in the cards. So far, the contributions method, although different, has worked.

 The last major task Phil assisted with was getting into the Forum so that new members could once again join the already great community. Since July we've had a major influx of people come in and post some really great content - whether it is new site owners or just everyday people who want to share pictures of themselves, girlfriends, or wives. That's always one thing I loved about the forum community at Wu's - that diversity!

 With Phil's updates and modernization in place, it was then time for me to focus on the parts of Wu's Feet Links I wanted to revamp and even resurrect. I couldn't do any of these things on my own, however. I needed the help of the Wu's Feet Links community and boy have they ever stepped up in the months after Wu! 
Sha Sha was the November 2014 feature model from Feet Fair.

Feature Models



 The one item I wanted to keep going the most on Wu's Feet Links was the Feature Model section. Ever since Wu was kind enough to ask me to shoot a feature a set of Carmen back in 2005 titled, "Blue Jeans & Toes," I've highly coveted this section. I know many other web masters do as well.

 Wu was always one to publish a calendar ahead of time of the models who were slated to be featured. Since his calendar was not filled in after February, the only model I knew of that he wanted to feature in 2014 was Soles of Silk's very own, Olivia. He and I had exchanged quite a few emails at the end of 2013 about what month I wanted in 2014 for the site's next feature set. I told him a warm month would be best as I prefer to shoot outdoor sets. He asked if June would work and I said yes as it is also my birth month.

 When Phil gave me permission to come up with a new feature model calendar, he told me he was fine with me using Olivia's set to get things started. So in July, Olivia's set, "Back to Business," helped kick off the Feature Model Gallery section once again. And in the set we made several odes to Wu: 
  • I placed a black ribbon by the Soles of Silk watermark featuring Wu's name and a footprint. I also used this logo on my site for several months and made it available to others to use, should they desire.
  • I had Olivia wear black because black was, and still is, used predominately in the site's color scheme.
  • Olivia's black clothes also worked because black is often associated with mourning or loss.
  • We shot the set right outside of Washington, D.C., where Wu called  home. 
  • The title, "Back to Business," signified the relaunch of the section overall - stating that Wu's Feet Links was back!

I was very happy with the way the set came out and only wish Wu had been alive to see the set himself. He was always kind to my models, asking me to send his praise their way. He was fond of Olivia and I know he would have loved this set, or whatever one we would have done had his life not ended way too soon.
Olivia set marked the return of the Feature Model section after months of being inactive.
In the months following Olivia's set, many web masters have been gracious enough to step up and submit their own unique galleries to the cause. I thank each and every web master, photographer, and model who helped make that happen. If you haven't checked these galleries out, do yourself a favor and do so. There are a lot of great pictures to be seen in these galleries:

With 2014 over the 2015 calendar is not going to let up as far as the Feature Models Galleries are concerned. Already planned for 2015 are sets from: Foot Worship Studios, Toes in Action, and Barefoot Urban Girls. Are you a web master of a foot fetish site who would like to submit a feature gallery in 2015 too? If so, then be sure to send me an email at footphotographer@yahoo.com and we can discuss what is needed and what months are open on the calendar.

Wu's Feet Links Interviews Blog


Another one of the ways I envisioned to help keep Wu's Feet Links moving forward was to reboot the Interviews section. At the time Wu hadn't had a new interview posted to the site since 2007. In 2008 Wu had actually asked me if I would be interested in taking that section and conducting the interviews on it myself. He really liked how I conducted interviews on Soles of Silk with the site models and thought it might be something I was interested in.

 Formerly the interview questions for Wu's Feet Links were done by fan submissions, but Wu realized that the models were drowning in repetitive questions. I told Wu I could come up with the questions, if he wanted, and the section was something I was very much interested in. I came up with the name, "Sole Searching," and asked Cierra if she'd mind doing some photos with the both of us where I'd be sniffing her feet. Luckily for me, she agreed. 

 I even went as far as mocking up how the section would look once it was added to Wu's Feet Links, which you can see below. This is the first time I have shared this mock up with anyone other than Wu, Cierra, and myself.

Once Wu had passed I decided more than ever that the interviews needed to come back. Just like with the Feature Model Gallery section, I wanted to do something that Wu had personally asked of me and see it through. Phil again gave his approval and the Wu's Feet Links Interviews Blog was born.

 I decided to go with a blog instead of publishing the interviews to the main site for several reasons, as Sole Searching "would" have been. I thought the blog format was much easier to update and keep track of when it came to new entries. I also wouldn't have to bother Phil to each time an update was ready.

 Before I decided to conduct the first modern interview on the blog, however, there was something I wanted to do first. From 2001-07 Wu published 25 interviews to his site. I wanted to archive them to the blog so they'd be there for everyone to enjoy. And should anyone new come across this blog, they'd be there for them to read as well.

 When it came time to conduct that first interview I turned to none other than Lady Steph. During the Sole Searching planning phase Wu informed me that he wanted the section to be kicked off with Lady Steph. I had no problems with that and it actually put us in touch to work together for the first time. So it only felt natural to ask Lady Steph to be this new blog's first interview all these years later. She was very eager to help as she was saddened by the news as well.
Leilani Lei gave a mature woman's perspective on the fetish in the November 2014 interview.
Since Lady Steph's inaugural interview six foot fetish community members have been kind enough to be featured on the Wu's Feet Links Interviews Blog. Once again, I suggest going through and reading each one of these interviews. Not only did I aim to feature various foot models, but I also have included male photographers/web masters, and even a foot fetish artist so far. Here's the listing of interviews thus far:

As is the case with the Feature Model Gallery section, I have already conducted or sought out future interviews for 2015. Those include: Goddess Red Velvet, Red-X, and Barbie Gurl. I'm always looking for more people interested in being a featured interview. Please email me at footphotographer@yahoo.com if that is something you'd be interested in.

Wu's Feet Links Columns Blog


The Columns section on Wu's Feet Links was one I had always wanted to see revamped as it had fallen by the wayside since 2012. Honestly, however, even after talking with Phil about what sections we'd be relaunching, I didn't hold out much hope for it. That was until Mommie Dearest reached out to me.

Mommie Dearest wrote columns on Wu's Feet Links from 2009-10. She took over for Genie (2006-07) who had previously taken over for Sexy Michelle (2003-05). With Wu's passing Mommie showed a renewed interest in bringing the section back. I told her I would love her help and would keep her informed as Phil and I still had a lot to discuss.

As the weeks went by, I contacted Mommie Dearest with some news and to show her the newly created Wu's Feet Links Columns Blog. She, however, was no longer interested. In all fairness, she admitted that it was something she didn't think she'd be able to do justice - and if she couldn't do it right, she didn't want to do it. I respected her choice and then sought out to find someone who would.

I got a few nibbles from people who said they'd be up for helping, but by that time I had already began to write the blog's first entry to keep up with the schedule Phil and I created. After adding all past columns to the blog as archived material (just like I did with the interviews), I wrapped up the first entry and have written one every month since. 

Lela Beryl gave her views on the subject of FemDom in the August column.

Since I write regularly for the Soles of Silk Blog, doing the columns is second nature. The original Wu's Feet Links Columns section was actually what made me have a columns section on Soles of Silk when I launched back in 2014 (which I also switched to a blog format back in 2013). With the Wu's Feet Links Columns Blog, however, I always seek to have more than just my own voice being heard. Dozens of people have contributed to making the columns I'm going to link below interesting, and to many, great reads.


 A great many people assisted me with these columns above. Their words, opinions, and experiences all helped round out the topics and I couldn't thank them enough. After giving these columns a read, be sure to check out the conclusion of each of those entries as I link to every person who made them possible. It's just too many people to list here.

Wu's Feet Links in 2015 & Beyond



 Other than what I've previewed above, who knows what is in store for Wu's Feet Links moving forward. One thing I am confident in saying, however, is wherever it goes, there will be a lot of fellow foot fetishists going there together. The community that has been around since the late 90's has always been a solid one with lots of great people. It has been my pleasure to have many of you help Wu's Feet Links move forward in recent months and I look forward to working with even more of you in the future.
