Review: SoleHole foot fetish toy

It comes in a little plastic jar. What’s not to love?

Dear foot fetishists: It is so rare that I get to address you directly, because the sex toy industry so rarely acknowledges your existence. Sure, they’ll throw you a bone every once in a while, in the form of a foot-shaped dildo or stroker – but if you’re anything like the foot fetishists in my dating history, you prefer real human feet and all the beautiful complexity they bring to the table: smells, tastes, textures, the whole shebang. And who can blame you? (Not me, certainly! This is a fetish-positive blog!)

However, today I come to you with news worth rejoicing about: There is a new foot fetish toy on the market which could very well give your sex life the upgrade you’ve been craving. It’s called the SoleHole, and I screeched when I got the email offering me one to review, because I’ve genuinely never seen a toy like this before.

What is the SoleHole?

Picture, if you will, the humble footjob. Typically, if you wanna jerk off someone’s cock between the soles of your feet (as so many foot fetishists enjoy), you have to contort yourself into an uncomfortable position, legs butterflied apart. You have to possess the hip/leg flexibility to be able to stroke your feet up and down your partner’s shaft, for however long it may take them to feel satisfied. Or, if you have mobility limitations like me, you or your partner might prefer to manually hold your feet together and slide them up and down using your hands, which can be tiresome in its own ways.

The patent-pending SoleHole is designed to make footjobs dramatically easier, more comfortable, and more pleasurable. It’s a soft, stretchy silicone sling that goes around your feet, holding them together to create a fuckable orifice of sorts between your soles.

That would’ve been a cool enough design on its own, but the SoleHole’s creators also added some nubby texture on the inside of the sling, to make it even more stimulating. The product retails for $49.

My experience with the SoleHole

My wife and I have attempted footjobs a few times before, because she’s into feet and thinks mine are cute (🥰), but it hasn’t always gone great for me – my hips are so inflexible/painful due to my chronic illness that I usually end up sore and exhausted by the time we’re done. I’ve enjoyed these encounters on a psychological level, though, since it’s hot to see my partner experiencing so much pleasure from my body – so I was excited to try an assistive product that might make footjobs comfier for me.

Getting the SoleHole onto my feet took under a minute the first time, and will take even less time in subsequent sessions, because the process is easy once you’ve gotten the hang of it: you slip the sling onto your feet and then wrap the long silicone strap under, around, and over the top of your feet (SoleHole’s diagram, above, explains it better than I can!).

I got my partner’s cock hard by sucking it for a while, and then came time to lube up the SoleHole. I’d suggest a thick water-based lube for this – we used Sutil Rich, my all-time fave – because silicone-based lubes could damage the toy; however, something like coconut oil could also work, as long as you don’t plan to progress to vaginal sex and/or sex with a condom after your footjob adventure (oils break down latex and aren’t great for vaginas). I applied lube to the soles of my feet and to the textured internal parts of the SoleHole, while my partner applied some to her dick as well, for maximum glide.

After some debate about positions, we settled on her standing by the edge of the bed while I laid down on the bed, my legs stretched out toward her. She slid her cock into the toy, between my soles, and we both moaned: it really did look and feel like my feet had been temporarily turned into an orifice for her to fuck. From my angle, I could see the head of her dick pushing back and forth between my soles with each stroke; it turned me on much more than I was expecting, because it reminded me of videos I’ve jerked off to before wherein a cock is filmed head-on (so to speak) thrusting into an open-ended stroker. The view was super sexy, almost like getting an X-ray view of what dicks must look like when they’re thrusting inside my cunt – except it was my feet!

It actually kind of felt like it was my cunt in some ways, especially as my partner got more turned on and started thrusting more decisively. I felt the impact of each thrust throughout my body, and had to grip the sheets to keep myself anchored, just like when my pussy gets fucked. It got me thinking about how the SoleHole could be great for people who want to have penetrative sex but can’t for some reason, whether that be vaginismus, pregnancy concerns, or whatever else; using the SoleHole is a form of outercourse that can feel surprisingly like intercourse!

Relatedly, my wife pointed out that plenty of transfeminine bottoms would enjoy getting fucked this way, whether or not they also bottom for penetrative sex; it could be affirming to see/feel someone thrusting into a “hole” that’s located between your legs, in line with your genitals, even though your feet are a little further away than your junk. (On that front, I love that the company went with a relatively gender-neutral purple for this toy, although my partner said she would’ve preferred a sleek-looking all-black one.)

Because the SoleHole was holding my feet together for me, I didn’t have to concentrate so hard on keeping my legs spread properly, which freed up some mental space and muscle strength that I was able to expend on my feet instead, gripping and stroking a little as my wife continued fucking me there. The position still hurt my inflexible hips, but nowhere near as much as it usually does, and I probably could’ve sidestepped that difficulty entirely by doing a gentle warm-up beforehand. (What can I say; I get impatient to try innovative sex toys!)

I was surprised by how quickly my wife came – under five minutes, I think! – but I guess I shouldn’t have been: she does love feet, after all, and this was a highly novel experience for us both! The SoleHole allowed me to watch her orgasm happen – both her facial reaction and her clit twitching – which was wildly hot, and I say that as someone who normally isn’t even all that turned on by visuals.

As we lay there in the sweaty afterglow – my still-SoleHole-clad feet draped over her spent body – we discussed what the toy had felt like. My wife loves that the SoleHole‘s design allows her to feel my actual feet, and not just the silicone of the toy – for that reason, she said, it’s clear that this product was made by people who actually fetishize feet, not just people who are trying to fill a hole in the market (so to speak)! She observed that the texture on the inside of the toy increases pleasure/stimulation without obscuring the sensation of the feet themselves. The tightness was good for her, too – I imagine the toy might feel different depending on the wearer’s foot size, but I’m a women’s size 8 and, for both of us, the SoleHole felt comfortably secure: not too loose and not too tight.

At the end of the session, my wife gently removed the SoleHole from my feet and went to go wash it in the bathroom sink. I wiped the leftover lube off my soles and settled back into bed, sighing serenely at the pleasure of having been fucked in a (w)hole new way.

Final thoughts

Normally when reviewing a toy, I mention any drawbacks or concerns I might have about it – but I really can’t think of anything to complain about when it comes to the SoleHole! It has one job, and it does that job very well. Foot fetishists and their open-minded partners will adore this product; I foresee it gaining cult status quite quickly, because I’ve never seen anything like it, in all my 14+ years of reviewing sex toys!

I think $49 is a fair price for this toy, given that it’s made of body-safe silicone and probably took a decent amount of research & development to perfect. My partner loved it so much that she immediately ordered another one to use with one of her other partners, which almost never happens!

As far as I’m concerned, the SoleHole is up there with toys like the Balldo and blowjob mirror in terms of innovation. Foot fetishists have long been overlooked by the sex toy industry, but no longer: the SoleHole is here, and it’s amazing. That’s one small step for the sex toy industry, one giant leap for foot-lovers worldwide!

So I Gave My First Footjob…

Sneakers by Converse, clogs by Lotta From Stockholm.

For reasons unknown, I’ve dated an above-average number of foot fetishists. I guess it makes sense if you consider that I mostly date other kinksters, and feet are one of the most common kinks. But when I think about the kind of person who would date multiple foot fetishists, I think about someone who has beautiful, soft, elegant feet, and I’ve never really thought of myself as that kind of person.

I think a lot of us grow up with feet-related insecurities, which may be part of why feet are fetishized so often. We worry about sweat, smells, dirtiness. We hide our feet away under socks and shoes much of the time, so that displaying them openly can feel almost as vulnerable as nudity. Still to this day, I feel weird in sandals, like I’m cosplaying as a type of girl I’ve never really been.

I’ve certainly never felt confident enough about my feet to want to model for fetish sites like Love Her Feet. But over the course of a few relationships with foot fetishists, I eventually got a little more comfortable taking foot pics when requested. (If you’re interested, I have an all-feet photo set available for purchase. That link is the only place on the internet where you can get sexy pictures of my feet!)

That being said, confidence in photos is a bit different from confidence in real life. When partners would want to do things like sniff my feet, massage them, or suck on my toes, I’d freeze up. Sometimes I’d enjoy these things when they would happen, but only if I was able to get over my near-paralyzing anxiety about it, which was rare.

Recently, my partner requested a footjob. They’ve requested one several times before but I’ve always felt too nervous to do it. I was worried not only about my feet but also about the contorted position I’d probably have to get into; I don’t have a lot of flexibility in my hips, knees or ankles due to my fibromyalgia, and a lot of the footjobs I’d seen in porn had involved someone’s legs being splayed wide open with their knees deeply bent to stroke a dick between their soles, a shape I knew my body just wouldn’t be able to get into. Hell, I can barely sit cross-legged on the floor for more than a few minutes before every joint below my waist starts throbbing with pain. On that note, I was also nervous about how I’d look while trying to bend myself into the right shape.

However, one of the skills I’ve picked up from therapy is being able to break down an anxiety-provoking situation to look more closely at the specific anxiety triggers it contains, in order to figure out if I can do anything about them. When I thought about each of the individual pieces of the puzzle that were fueling my footjob fears, I saw a few potential solutions, which could be used alone or in tandem:

  1. Get a pedicure prior to the footjob.
  2. Find a comfortable position that works for my body.
  3. Blindfold my partner so they can’t see what I’m doing.

I ended up doing the latter 2 things from this list. One night I had my partner lie on their back in bed and put a blindfold on. I laid on my side next to them and lubed up their dick and the sole of one of my feet. Then I bent my knee enough that my sole could rest on the underside of their dick and had just enough range of movement to slide up and down the length of it in a teasing manner.

And yes, my hip and knee joints started to ache after a few minutes, but I knew that wasn’t the end of the world. I kept up some low dirty talk in their ear while holding onto my leg with my arms, so that my arm muscles could take on some of the strain and give my leg a break. As the action crescendoed, at certain points I had to use my arms to physically move my leg up and down because my leg muscles and joints were just done. But, as often happens, the yummy neurochemicals of being in a sexy situation with a hot person were enough to make the pain mostly feel like part of the experience, rather than antithetical to it.

Eventually they came, and it was hot. I think I had them lick some of their own cum off my foot, possibly while still blindfolded. Overall, a positive experience – and one I definitely didn’t think I’d ever have, prior to being in this relationship.

The moral of the story is: In the realm of sex, as in other realms of life, you will encounter things that scare you but that seem worth doing anyway. Self-knowledge can be even more important than courage in these cases, because it is your knowledge of yourself, your body, and your brain that will enable you to approach the situation in a way that works for you. And when you do it your way, courage comes much more easily. Dip your toe in and see what happens.
