Is it normal to pick up things with your feet?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to use your feet to grab or nudge things, especially when your hands are full or the item is nearby. It’s just a small, practical habit—as long as you’re mindful of hygiene and don’t risk dropping or damaging anything.

Plenty of people use their toes to grab a sock, pull something closer, or pick up a lightweight item when their hands are busy. It’s an easy bit of coordination, not a sign that anything is wrong with you.

The only real question is where your feet have been and what you’re picking up. Using a clean foot to retrieve something from the floor at home is one thing; handling food or shared items with your feet might make other people wrinkle their noses.
