A Foot Ritual is a structured act — often part of a greeting, a preparation for an activity or a closing observance — centred on the feet. Rituals may involve prescribed gestures, particular gear, spoken formulas or a specific place within the home or scene.

Foot Rituals have long been present within ceremonial and high-protocol traditions across many communities.

The exact form of a Foot Ritual is characteristic of the dynamic or House that maintains it and varies widely.
