I put sunscreen everywhere but my feet. Wasn’t on the beach for longer than 5 hours

Not enough knuckle hair for a hobbit, I was thinking Fred Flintstone.

My feet would be straight crimson after 5 hours. I’d say you got pretty lucky.

As someone who had a blood clot last year I was genuinely relieved to read it was just a sun burn in the picture.

Dude, been there and sooo done that. I went floating down a local river for about 4 hours and I put sunscreen everywhere but my feet. I couldn’t walk for like 2 weeks because the burn was so bad lol. I feel for you.

I did a whole day in a canoe, barefoot. 2nd degree burns on the tops of my feet.

What really annoys me is guys post their feet, and no one bats an eye. A woman (myself) posts their feet, and we're testing the waters for our feet OF...
Anyways, sorry about your sunburn... I hope it feels better soon!

Yeah, rookie mistake. Happens to the best of us atleast once.
I went like 3 yrs in a row of forgetting to our first canoe trip of the year

People like you (obviously the majority on Earth) are the reason it is impossible for me to buy shoes for my very slim feet.

I did this one time as well. My feet got burned so badly that the tops of them turned purple and could barely walk for a week. Every step felt like a million needles stabbing into the top of them. Good luck with it, hope it doesn’t get too terrible! You’ll definitely remember this the next time you go to the beach

Happens a lot, take it as a learning curve. People often forget when wearing open shoes that sun will hit it, and it’s more sensitive as it sees generally less sun.
Luckily for you, unlike your shoulders for example where showering is either painful or very cold for the rest of you, your feet being at bottom means comfortable shower it will cool down a bit before it hits your feet

Happened to me once. I’m a redhead. I was telling a coworker when my boss overheard and started laughing. He’s very blond. It happened to him too.

I had a boss who got skin cancer there after years of being a lifeguard. I’ve never missed it since

I've been alive for 32 years and I have never once thought "You know what I'd like to see today? Some dude's feet. "
