This Foot Does Not Exist should satisfy your foot fetish. If your fetish for feet includes texting a robot that sends you pictures of feet. Feet that appear to be human but are actually created by a GAN neural network system set up for the explicit purpose of sending foot pictures in response to a text. That's it. That's the TL;DR.
It's another piece of engineered chaos from MSCHF , the subversive collective of socially conscious minds with an eye toward chaotic neutral sociology who brought us M-Journal , Blue Donkey and Bull & Moon . MSCHF, with This Foot Does Not Exist once again has created something that pushes the levels of social engineering innovation while remaining absolutely silly.
First, let's address the acronym in the room. What is GAN? It stands for Generative Adversarial Network. In a very flattened explanation, it's two neural networks playing an advanced game of cat & mouse, in order to create better and more recognizable results.
Common uses of GAN networks include image-making and image-recognition. Computer vision for self-driving cars and automatic creation of imitations of paintings or photographs for style transfers are several other uses.
One network strives to create real, identifiable things while the other is working to identify fake things. Naturally, the most obvious use for a GAN is to apply it to the creation and distribution of foot pictures.
If you are searching for the why (or just for the foot pics) then you should probably break out that vat of lubricant and settle in. Like the sweet, musky scent of flip-flops after a day at the beach, feet might seem simple but are as complex as the brains they are eventually attached to. We're talking Bi-Modal content here.
There is a long explanation of this on the This Foot Does Not Exist website, but the most relevant bit is this:
"Because foot pics can operate in two discrete modes of content consumption simultaneously (i.e. they can be memes and nudes simultaneously, in the same public sphere), their perception depends entirely upon the viewer and the context in which the image appears. This results in an unusual economic paradigm by which the foot pic is both highly valuable and almost throwaway — worthless at the same time — and this creates a highly intriguing supply+demand dynamic when creators/consumers fall on different ends of this valuation scale."
It continues, addressing the asymmetrical currency of feet pics:
"Because the foot pic may be devoid of any mainstream pornographic signifiers it is both low barrier to entry and significantly safer to distribute. The production of the picture may, depending entirely upon the person to whom the foot belongs, be essentially valueless in the mind of the producer — and yet the resulting image strongly valued by the right consumer."
The final folder for distribution and subjective consumption contains 100k feet images and 100k sole (as in bottom of feet) images generated off two separate models at 512x512 resolution. Early permutations of the models were trained over several months, burning out several GPUs. Each model took about three to seven days to train in each different data permutation. The result is feet pics generated by a computer. Hence, this foot does not exist.
Generation results from a preliminary sole model.
Not only is this proof of function of a GAN modeling system, but it has that sociological twist that encourages curiosity. Foot pictures are harmless, or they are dirty, dirty, dirty. It completely depends on your own personal bias and point of view. Some people hate their feet, some people put feet in their mouths. Some people don't regard them much at all.
Did we need a neural network to create foot pics from nothing to tell us how we feel about feet? Probably not. Is it something that exists regardless of how we feel about computer generated foot pictures? It does now. What it does suggest, if we remove feet from the equation, is a future of computer generated imagery that will continue to obfuscate what we perceive as reality.
MSCHF Head of Commerce Daniel Greenberg reinforces the subjective nature of the output created here. "Two people should view it," he tells me while wiggling his toes in the air, "and see totally different things. This exemplifies that it’s also just about how obsessed the Internet is with feet."
The internet is obsessed with feet because we are . It's one of the most common fetishes held by humans. People like feet. And if we don't like them in a sexual nature, we love to put polish on them, shoes and so on. We just freaking love feet. So will we love computer generated feet?
We likely won't be able to tell the difference. While early models created some abhorrent mutations of feet, the current output may as well be photographs you took yourself. We're not here to judge. You like feet. You already texted This Foot Does Not Exist for foot pics. It's your fetish, it's your meme. Roll with it.
As the explainer, well, explains, feet are much more than a pornographic currency when used in a visual nature. They could simply be used to convey a sense of geography, a psychological state of mind or simply used to show existence. Think of how many foot pics you see on Instagram on a daily basis? Someone lying with their feet up, on a beach or at home, with some #basic caption expressing their desire and inherent pleasure to no longer be on the feet in view.
On Instagram, #feet has 12.9mm posts; #feetpics has 332k, #prettyfeet has 2.8mm and #feetselfie has 119k. These are just some of the most common foot related hashtags, there are surely thousands of others being used. Now you have to ask yourself — are they all real feet? If they have a face attached to them, probably. But if not, they could be an amalgamation of everything you know about the visual appearance of feet.
But what is real? Is a computer generated picture of a foot not a real picture of a foot even if it's not a real foot that exists in the physical world? Does it matter? Should it? Those are the questions posited by This Foot Does Not Exist . The answers are up to you, and your feet.

Have you ever wondered how fetishes are formed? Photo by OneSideProFoto on Shutterstock
“Fetish” and “kink” are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are some key differences that are important to discuss when we’re talking about the psychology of a specific sexual desire.
A fetish is a sexual fixation on a specific object, activity, or body part that becomes absolutely necessary to a person’s sexual satisfaction. A kink is a broad term that is used to describe many different “alternative” sexual interests, preferences, and/or fantasies.
A fetish will oftentimes be psychologically ingrained in our desires – it becomes almost impossible to feel sexual pleasure without including this particular thing in your sex life.
Sometimes a fetish is a kink that has become psychologically essential to sexual gratification. For some, participating in a specific BDSM activity may start as a fantasy and eventually lead to something they need in order to feel arousal, pleasure, and sexual release.
The idea of how fetishes are formed has been a question of intrigue for a long time. However, there is still very little research available on the subject. Perhaps this is because of the complexities of sexual psychology — after all, sometimes it’s difficult to explain why our brain reacts the way it does to certain stimulation.
The most common answer to the question of how fetishes are formed is that a fetish is a learned response. For example, when a neutral item (such as a shoe, for example) is paired with something arousing (a nude photo, for example), the previously neutral item is eventually associated with arousal and sexual excitement, eventually becoming a trigger for arousal.
This theory was proven in 1966, with a study performed by Stanley Rachman , where colored photographic slides of naked women were projected onto a screen for 15 seconds, followed by another image of a pair of black, knee-length women’s boots projected for 30 seconds.
Sexual arousal was successfully conditioned in this study, meaning that the participants eventually became aroused when looking at the image of the black boot.
There is another theory surrounding fetishism that suggests there are prerequisite personality traits that enable us to become more or less likely to develop certain fetishes.
According to psychologist Dr. Justin Lehmiller , who is currently a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, the idea that people are “born with” fetishes likely won’t be proven – but there is merit to the idea people may be born with a generalized predisposition to developing fetishes.
“Although personality is undoubtedly influenced by environmental factors, several studies have suggested that a number of personality traits are heritable to some degree,” Lehmiller explains. “So, to the extent that individuals are born with tendencies towards certain personality traits could explain why some people are more likely to develop fetishes than others.”

The fetish for feet has been labeled as many things: foot fetishism, foot worship, foot partialism (where you are sexually aroused by a certain body part).
Foot fetishism has also been deemed a paraphilia (a condition where the individual’s sexual arousal and satisfaction depend on fantasizing over a specific thing), with people who have a distinct interest in feet noted as having “podophilia” , which is described as a pronounced sexual interest in feet (or shoes).
According to Justin Lehmiller , who collected data on this topic for his book “Tell Me What You Want” , reported that 1 in 7 people have reported having a foot-related sexual fantasy before. However, he explains the number of people who have a true fetish for feet is likely to be much smaller than that.
It’s important to note, according to Lehmiller, that just because someone has fantasized about feet in a sexual capacity, this doesn’t mean they have a fetish for feet – simply, they have been sexually aroused by the idea of feet in the past.
Lehmiller even went as far as breaking down the sexual orientation of his participants, explaining that 18% of heterosexual men have fantasized about feet before, compared to a very small 5% of heterosexual women. Twenty-one percent of gay or bisexual identifying men and 11% of lesbian or bisexual women also shared their experiences with foot-related sexual fantasies.

Dr. Vilayanur Ramachandran , a neurologist and professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, San Diego, has spent years studying and analyzing the neural mechanisms that cause human behaviors.
Ramachandran explains the results of a study he conducted on the clinical phenomenon known as “the phantom limb”, where people who have lost limbs continue to have vivid sensations (pain or otherwise) where the missing limb would be.
Chronic phantom pain is present in about ⅔ of patients who have had a limb removed, and this phenomenon may also explain foot fetishism, as well.
According to Ramachandran, every point on your body has a corresponding point in your brain.
When a person loses a limb, the brain rewires the area of the brain that is connected to that part of your body and can often make it feel as though there is still a limb there – this is the explanation found in studies of phantom missing limb pains.
In one of Ramachandran’s studies, many people who had lost a foot also reported that they could experience sexual pleasure from thinking about their missing foot.
While this may sound unorthodox, a groundbreaking study from the late 1950s proves this theory.
Wilder Penfield established the “body image map” (referred to as The Penfield homunculus ) which found that sensations in the body directly correlated to stimulations in various parts of our brain. The sensory perception for our feet is located directly adjacent to the sensory perception area for our genitalia – perfectly explaining the normalcy behind foot fetishism.
