> I wonder if there is a single word for someone with a foot fetish

Solemate and archfiend come to mind. Perhaps such a person would be a "pesamist" (pes plus amo). I am a bit pessimistic about that one though.

But you have to be careful about "ped" and "paed". Two entirely different words. The first is foot, from pedes, the plural of pes, but paed or ped is from the Greek for children. Orthopaedics (orthopedics to us left continenters) means literally straight children.

I think the English spelling is far preferable, since at least in print it is much clearer that paedophile means lover of children rather than lover of feet.
