I'm sure it's different for different fetishists.
I like this one:
This was more or less the situation when some scientists, led by Ramachandran, came up with a bright idea. The pioneering research on epileptic patients by the neurosurgeon W. Penfield in the 1950s demonstrated how our body is represented as maps in the cortex of the brain. Importantly, these maps do not reflect the true proportions of the body: they are distorted. For instance, the face and genitals occupy a greater area in the brain than the elbow and toes; next to the area for the face we do not find the area for the upper body, but for the hand; next to the genitals, not the thighs but the feet are represented.
Now, what if part of the brain area for the hand were taken over a neighbouring area, in this case the face? Then stimulation of parts of the face should be felt in the amputated hand.
Surprisingly, that is exactly what Ramachandran discovered. An amputee’s whole hand could be found on his chin: not only could he feel needle pricks there - he also felt them in his non-existant hand.
Ramachandran thus demonstrated that the function of a large area in the brain can be overtaken by neighbouring areas. Previously, many scientists had not thought such reorganisation was possible. An analogous effect has since, however, been demonstrated in violinists, who use a larger part of cortex than normal subjects to represent hands and fingers.
Interestingly, according to Ramachandran, similar mechanisms might explain bizarre phenomena such as foot fetishism and orgasms in the foot: for since the brain area for the genitals is right next to the feet, crosstalk may arise.

I think women like doing up their toes like there fingernails. Its a new trend. Plus the foot massages they say are pretty nice. I think all women should do this..
