Tan Legs and White Feet

BunSnoop — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 14:13:33 GMT

I walk my dog a lot and wear walking shoes with capri length pants.

For Father's Day I got a little bit dressed up -- Susan Graver liquid knit capris and top, jewelry, and dressy sandals.

When I looked in the mirror I saw tan legs with white feet in the sandals - it was not a good look.

Any one else have the same problem?

I guess the only "fix" would be to put sunless tanner on the feet?? Any other suggestions?

You have a golfers tan! My husbands feet are lily white compared to his legs because he spends a lot of time on the golf course. Since he wears a glove on one hand that hand is white too.

I walk 3-5 miles 5 days a week and am so happy in the summer when I can wear my fitness sandals. However, I get stripped feet. We're quite the pair.

I wear full length pants and closed shoes to walk my dog. I would be covered in bug bites, scratches, and sunburn if I wore anything else.

Body bronzers/makeup work nicely if you don't want the inconveniences of a self tanner and then when you're done with that special occasion just wash it off in the shower, be done with it.

I immediately thought of my grandfather who played golf everyday in AZ. All tan except for white feet. I miss him

@Shanus I hope you realize you can burn right through those thin tees. I once wore a yellow and white stripped tee to an air show where I was in the sun all day. That night when I removed the shirt I had perfect pink and white stripes all across my back. My tee wasn't so thin either.

I’m a golfer so I have this problem too. I just roll with it.

The same thing happens to me when I wear sneakers with shorts. It also happened when I wore crop jeans last year.
I ended up with white feet, a tan from the ankle to where the crop jean hit, and paler legs above that. 😱

I use a bit of self tanner or Sally Hansen leg makeup mixed with body lotion to try to even out my skin tone. It's not perfect, but it helps.

@Kachina624 Yes, you're correct, but my tees are made w/ the sun protection fabric. I also try todo my outdoor walking very early in the morning before the sun's shining brightly.

Sounds like that is your only option.
