When I try to trace back to the very first thought I had about the field of silicone foot products, I think of the year 2003. At that time, I was a sophomore in college. China’s internet was in a period of rapid development, and many people were just starting to get online. I didn’t have a personal computer back then. I often went to the college computer lab to enjoy the internet, and sometimes to internet bars.

One night, I accidentally wandered into an online chatroom where people were discussing foot fetish topics. There were a few women, but many more men. Internet speeds were very slow at the time, and chatrooms didn’t have live video funtion. Even so, the men showed intense interest in women’s feet. They flooded the chatroom with flowers, colorful text, and emoticons, lavishly praising women’s feet. Much of the content was flattering and flirtatious.

This left a deep impression on me. From that moment on, I realized that in many corners of the world there are passionate communities devoted to foot fetishes.

In early 2005, I was working in Guangzhou in website development. One day, a client asked to meet with me to discuss business. He was engaged in the sale of adult toys—I’d call him a seller or wholesaler. His products were conventional adult toys, some of which were made of silicone (you know what I mean), but they did not include realistic silicone feet.

At the time, I asked him a question: why aren’t there any products related to foot fetishes? His answer was that the group wasn’t large enough, and there were no silicone foot products available on the market.

I thought, isn’t this an opportunity!?

After that conversation, I seriously researched the size of this community, studied molding techniques on professional forums, and learned about the differences, prices, and quality of various silicone materials. I decided to develop, produce, and sell silicone feet.

In the future, I will talk about more interesting things between me and silicone foot molds. It’s time to look back on everything related to silicone feet over the past 20 years.
