“I didn’t realize, until people started commenting, that I was giving away feet for free,”Berk toldPridein an interviewon Wednesday, Sept. 13. “I’m not a foot person, so I didn’t think of it! Well, the book is $31-$35, so that’s how much you’re paying for those feet.”
After receiving viral reactions from the foot fetish community, Berk said he didn’t realize how his book truly comes with so many free feet pics.
“The more I’ve looked through [the book] and after thinking about it, there’s a lot of feet for free in here. A lot of the photos are me in my home! I don’t wear shoes in my house,” he added
Berk also took to Instagramto address all the positive reactions, bobbing his head to the TikTok jingle “More Passion, More Energy, More Footwork.”
“When your book is going viral because you’re not wearing shoes on the front cover,” reads text on the video.
Foot closeups aside, Berk told PEOPLE inan exclusive February interviewthat the book looks to stress the importance of how improvements to a living space can greatly boost mental well-being.
“Knowing how to make your home a place to recharge can be life changing because where we live is the foundation for everything else in our lives,” he explained. “I wrote this book to show everyone who reads it that you don’t have to be an interior designer to have a space that enhances your life and mental well-being.”
Berk also teased other bits of advice, noting that it’s not all about expensive upgrades — even tiny changes, such as adding light fixtures that suit your fancy or buying plants, can truly make a difference.
“It’s not always about spending a lot of money on fancy things, but more about smaller aspects of design like color, accessories and lighting that really make your space unique and perfect for you,” he added.
