Many people think being a foot model is as simple as showing up to a photoshoot and posing, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Foot modeling requires constant care and attention to ensure that every aspect of the foot looks flawless. A typical day for a foot model begins with an intensive foot care routine. Soaking in warm water, exfoliating with a pumice stone, and moisturizing are just the basics. Most models also have to take special care of their nails, keeping them trimmed and polished, as well as attending regular pedicures to ensure their feet are camera-ready.

Once the photoshoot begins, foot models may be required to hold difficult poses for extended periods. It's not uncommon for models to experience discomfort, especially when posing on hard surfaces or wearing ill-fitting shoes that are chosen for their appearance rather than comfort.
