* In the ''[[Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Girls und Panzer: Ribbon Warrior]]'' official spin-off manga, while it's common for tank commanders to tap the driver's shoulders with their feet, protagonist [[{{Samurai}} Shizuka Tsuruki]] does this to her driver [[StraightMan Rin Matsukaze]] ''[[DoesNotLikeShoes without wearing any shoes]]''. And by letting her pantyhose-covered toes caress her, as if the latter is her horse. HomoeroticSubtext ensues.

Bob and Alice are eating together or sitting in the same boardroom for a business conference or something. Alice is in a playful mood, or she's of a mind to seduce Bob. At the same time, she doesn't want her intentions to be too obvious to the other people present, and verbally expressing herself directly to Bob is out of the question and/or would be inappropriate for the occasion. Bob and Alice are sitting directly across from each other at the table and this gives Alice the perfect opportunity.

* ''Manga/ShoukokuNoAltair'': Caterina de Rossi uses this as a [[DistractedByTheSexy distraction technique]] during a diplomatic meeting with ChasteHero Mahmut and her old flame. It works.

* A New Years' omake of ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'' has Suzu playing footsies with Matsuri while they share a {{kotatsu}}.

* Happens a couple of times in ''Webcomic/S.S.D.D.'', when various females do this under the table to a male on the other end, often in a more mature way than usual. Case in point, the rabbit lady Heather uses her rather large feet to feel the fox Richard's girth, impressing her greatly. It may be worth noting that almost all characters in SSDD are {{Barefoot Cartoon Animal}}s almost all of the time, so there's no need for the females in question to slip off their shoes.

* Parodied in the Italian movie ''Fracchia contro Dracula'' where the female vampire attempts to seduce the titular character using this.... despite being at the opposite side of an extremely long dinner table. And [[ShesGotLegs she succeeded!]]

In these cases, the recipient's reaction/response may vary. He/She may be flustered or embarrassed, or may like the attention and even reciprocate. Alternately, he/she may pull away to show a lack of interest or, in extreme cases, make a move to stand up--if the instigator doesn't get kicked for their trouble.

* Done on ''Series/OneLifeToLive'' while two couples have met to play cards at one's house. One is a pair of InsatiableNewlyweds, the other unmarried but having just consummated their relationship, so they're both in a "can't keep our hands of each other" phase of their relationship. Inevitably, one person ends up fondling the wrong person's foot, leaving them all laughing hysterically at the antics.

* In a ''ComicStrip/SpyVsSpy'' comic, the two spies are invited to a tea party; in which the black spy feels what he thinks is the female host doing this to him. The black spy does the same to the host, much to her chagrin. After she responds by slapping him and kicking him out, it turns out the white spy tricked him with a fake leg under the table.

* In the erotic Edwardian novel ''The Temptations of Cremorne'', a spirited session of this between the heroine and a well-known rake at his club is the precursor to randy romp in one of the upstairs bedrooms.

* In the Telugu film UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} film ''Krishnashtami'' when the main character meets the fiance of the man he's impersonating, she gives him a quick rub under the table followed by a [[TheTease wink]].
