Okay, I just talked to a woman I work with who was a foot model when she was younger. She's 59 now, men love her feet, she always wears pointed toe high heels, and can't tolerate wearing flat shoes because she's worn high heels her whole life. She even looks like a Jim Burton model! (albiet an older one) I told her about this thread and Jesse's new foot, and asked if I could look at her feet for comparison. I figure, she's the best example of a realistic pretty foot that wears pointed toe high heels.

She does have that classic "fan" shape to the toes leading up to the big toe. Each toe get slighty big the one before it leading up to the big toe. Her toes are as not as long the new Jesse toes. The index toe is not as humped as the new foot one, but it does a bit of a bump, and her big toe is the longest toe (not the index toe). Her big toe has a normal big toe look and her toenail is not a trapanoid shape. Her toenails are painted and longer either of the model's toenails. (I was surprised she can wear pointy toe heels and still have length on her toenails!) I wish I had my camera with me, I could take a picture of her feet for you.

Anyhoo, I asked her what she thought of the 2 model feet. Even she had an "ouch" reaction to the foot on the left. She suggested the right foot looked like a foot to her, but needed to be more narrow, the pinky toe curve in, and the big toe longer.

I'll see if I can find someone else with a camera and maybe get shot of her feet. :D
