Summer's here and 77 percent of Americans say they'll be sporting sandals, but while most understand the importance of grooming their feet, 53 percent admit they never get a professional pedicure during the summer months.
Despite that, according to a survey of 1,000 people from across the country for June 1 - National Go Barefoot Day - 47 percent say they care whether their spouse, partner or person of interest grooms his or her feet and toenails.
Fifty-two percent of women say a professional pedicure is a "must" during the summer months, but only 42 percent of men think it's important.
And 70 percent of women say they always make sure their toenails are trimmed for wearing sandals, compared to 47 percent of men.
Thirteen percent admit it would be a "deal breaker" if their spouse, partner or person of interest did not have attractive feet in sandals.
Sixty-six percent think they can tell something about a person by just looking at the condition of their feet in sandals, namely whether they take care of themselves and care about looking good.
