LOL! I am glad you posted this, I own two pairs of J’s shoes, spent too much time with the RGB buttons to skin match the toes and after seeing that photo I will triple-check lighting when I wear them.

I hate, absolutely loathe avatar feet, they look like paddles.

They would be nicer if it wasn’t a menu system, in my personal opinion. I really dislike having to use the menu system to adjust my skin color; I think if I could edit it myself, it might be a better match to my skin than fiddling with ‘lighter’, ‘more red’, ‘less blue’, and so on. I’m an ear fan, so the non-system appendage doesn’t bother me so much.

And the shoes can be bought without the toes. You just have to look in another area, I believe.

I have issues with those toes, minus the fifth toe missing…
No matter how well you tint the toes, other people will see them as the picture shows depending on their settings. So potentially, 50% of the people you run into will be running SL at “medium” graphics or lower, and probably seeing your toes like that.
Gross. Srsly. I’ll continue to buy non-prim toe versions until there is some fix for this.

I like them as long as it doesnt appear the toes are hanging off the front of the shoe – I hate that in RL also! I personally can wear the toes easily since I go with light tones for my skin choices. But I can definately see the drama with darker skin tones.

Ok so…
I actually had a discussion at J’s about these toes with Thema Felix. We were torn on the issue, but I’m pretty sure we both walked out of there with a pair.
Now, when I took it home to the judge (Nicolas) the verdict was delivered. Guilty. He hates them! *crosses foot fetish off the list*. Anyway, I love the shoes, but really wish the prim toes were optional as I don’t have the patience to try and match Redgrave skin with 4 white toes.

Chalice Carling is more frightened of prim toes than she is of creepy clowns. Give me my boxy SL toes anyday. My friend, who is very smart in SL, said that her prim toes go back to their original colour when she takes off the shoes and wears them again.

Don’t know why they gross me out so much. Could be that it’s because I hate toes in RL too. Please I beg you all….match the toes

I give a huge thumbs up to the tootsies, especially the shoes by J’s. Anything is better than the regular avvie feet, even if you only get 4 toes. For me it’s either sandals from J’s, closed toed shoes or boots And I don’t know what’s wrong w/ that picture, mine never look that bright.

definitely a face light issue or possibly even a wind light settings issue, dependent on how they photograph prims V’s texture.

I do love them, but I also have no drama with non prim toes unlike many , so I do really love that J’s has both options available.

Another explanation could be that the person wearing at last wear had a much paler skin on , and completely forgetting that wore them with a darker tone, because really how often do you cam around to the front of your avatar to check your toes ? before leaving the house.

As for the four toes thing , hasn’t that always been an arty thing ? I think I read that somewhere once, and just think simpsons and all the other fab toons of the past, I don’t see anything really that wrong with the missing little toe, because after all he did

“weeee weee weee all the way home”

Can I speak freely? They f*cking suck. It looks stupid, obviously they don’t match, and not just in this picture but on many many other avatars I’ve seen. It’s not even attractive. Pretty much on the level of those shoes that have walking sounds – crap. I’m tired of seeing things like this called “cute” in SL.
