Non-sexual uses
Politics
"Playing footsies" can also mean that two people favor each other over others, such as in a card game, politics or other group activity in which people are not technically paired off. Doing so tends to give an unfair advantage to the two individuals over the rest of the group.
Dancing
Foot-to-foot contact is an important element of communication between dance partners in Argentine tango. At its simplest, this is just touching the feet together (the parada). Among other variations, there is dragging the partner's foot (arrastre or barrida), or pushing the foot out of the way (sacada).
