Feet Driers and Sock Dispensers   (+3)  [vote for, against]
driers feet, and dispenses socks

Toilets, or restrooms as they are strangely called in at least one of the colonies, allow you to wash and dry your hands, but no such service is available for the feet.

Feet driers would enable those who's feet were soaked, for whatever reason, to dry them off then put on a fresh pair of socks, the latter being obtained from a coin operated dispenser. (in three basic sizes)

Dyson Foot Blades would be my suggestion for the actual device.

This does not address the issue of having to put clean, dry feet and socks into footwear that is still wet and/or dirt.

//for whatever reason//

If it was for the obvious reason, then you'll need foot sinks, as well as foot driers.

Is that not what those bowls are for in the cubicles?

There is indeed at least one foot-washing station in a bathroom at my school, in a stall that would otherwise contain a toilet. (At least one in the men's rooms, that is—I assume there's at least one in the women's too. There's also at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus now, but I haven't been in, so I don't know if it has one.)

I cannot recall ever washing my hands, feet or indeed anything at all in a toilet. Sounds rather unsanitary.

......that's what the soap and hot water are for - ha.

Can feet also be provided, for those who are missing them?
