As someone who isn't into feet, I've always just assumed it's because uncovered feet are vaugely intimate. As in feet are mostly covered by shoes but when you get to see them uncovered it might just mean the situation has gotten intimate. I mean that's basically the idea behind any societal view which dictates that women should cover any particular part of their body, it's not that muslim people inherently find hair sexy, it's the societal norms which attached an intimate meaning to hair.
don't forget the shame. the wrongness of it is very much part of it. like, most people think feet are kind of gross, so it feels taboo to like them. taboo is one of the strongest things in fetishes. "this is so wrong/dirty" is a powerful thought for the horny mind.
honestly, if/when society becomes more accepting of foot fetishes i bet that will actually decrease the number of people that have one. if society stops shaming them it likely won't get them off the same way.
Ehat about people who like feet naturally? I'd much prefer it wasnt strange to think feet are attractive.
