Foot Factory grabbed my attention early with their nice-looking warning page design, and the hot image in black and white of the girl on the bed with the fancy shoes. The design stayed true in the rest of the tour, though the content wasn't quite as awe-inspiring to me as the first image (though it looks decent to start for sure). Browse through the rest of their tour to get some previews, and if you want to join it'll set you back $25 a month which is about what's expected on an exclusive fetish site like this.
The goods:
- All exclusive content. Ed Fox shoots all this stuff himself from what I can gather, so you have a decent-sized collection of exclusive foot content all from one photographer.
- Updates come regularly. They update about three times per week, which breaks down to one weekly update in each of their three sections: Fox Features, Photos, and Videos. I'm not really sure what the Fox Features are compared to just the plain photosets, but they're there and they get updated just like the rest of them. This helps the site grow at a good pace.
- Some good browsing options. You can find content by type (again, Fox Features, Photos, or Videos), by model, or by update date which rounds things out pretty nicely. The options also continue in the photo section with multiple image sizes and zip files readily available.
- Videos can look pretty nice. The photos are decent, but for some reason the video quality grabbed my attention a bit. They're not spectacular, but just clean, nice-looking videos overall.
The bads:
- Some content has an older look to it. Even though they just went online a couple days ago, a few of the sets look like they're from an older camera or scanner or something. The contrast is down, or the coloring is off, or something weird.
- Videos downloaded a bit slow, and must be downloaded first. They came in about half speed for our internet speed, but the big bummer is if you don't view them in your browser, you have to download the entire WMV files first unfortunately.
Conclusion:
They cover a lot of the basics here pretty well I'd say. The updates come pretty often, it's all exclusive (and niche) content, the quality is generally good, and there are a few options around. The few negatives aren't huge deal breakers or anything, so I think it may come down to how much you like the content here. The site itself is sound, so I'd put the decision in your hands based on what you see in the tour.

Well, not a ton has changed here at Foot Factory since our last visit, though there are a couple small changes to talk about. First, they've grown of course. They're about to hit the 100 mark for number of videos which will be a nice feat accomplished. Second, they switched out Quicktime for Windows Media Videos, which isn't a huge change, but something I like a little better. Otherwise, the site remains much the same as it was. It's a decent join here, if not overly unique.
Score decreased from 81.5 to 80.5.
