Predictably enough, whilst they acknowledge it is unsightly, they have no plans to ask passengers to refrain from doing it. However they will discuss in the Product and Service Team to see if there are any different ways that could be explored to discourage this practice.....
Sorry to sound defeatist but this is a futile campaign. People who put their feet where feet shouldn't go have a particular personality type and are inoculated against caring what other folks think. If you stop them putting their crap-laden shoes/sweaty feet on surfaces you might touch, e.g by electrifying it, they will find other ways to annoy you - farting, picking nose etc. Some people just take up too much space in the world and on public transport you have to try to blank them out of your sight. Or emigrate to Japan where they mostly don't do it.
