What Does It Mean When The Bottom Of Your Foot Itches?

You know that old saying about having "itchy feet," meaning a desire to keep moving from one place to the next, or at least to keep changing from one situation to another? This comes from a superstition that having itchy feet is a sign of an upcoming journey. According to AuntyFlo.com, which explained a number of superstitions linked to itchy feet, when the bottoms of your feet itch, it could indicate travel. 

That's perhaps not too much of a stretch, as far as predictions go, since back in the day, running out of common household staples meant an all-day (or longer) journey to town in the old wagon — at least, this is how it always seemed to go down in Little House on the Prairie.

But there's more to this superstition than just the hint of travel to come. Where exactly the itch is on your foot — and which foot — plays a role.
