No, your eyes will more accurately reflect any jaundice present due to location. Your feet are at the terminal end of the arterial/veinous exchange and the stagnation/pool of blood will cause many different color depending on pressure, temperature, activity, etc. Also the blood can be easily tested, and if the Bilirubin level is below 2.5 mg/dL, then jaundice is not possible.

Hi there me_just. You know that fntn knows exactly what he's talking about and anything pertaining to the liver is his specialty.
Just to ease your mind further, the color of your feet has nothing to do with jaundice. BTW. Know from previous discussions that you have a perfect liver and should not be worried or concerned.
