Could be from your diet (high vitamin A content like from carrots can give your skin a hue) or if you are walking barefoot, some types of earth/clay give a stain. Other than that, I have no idea.
Can you ask someone in person who can look at it for you? Or post a picture here at EDS using Photobucket to upload. |

| Are you using a self tanner on your legs by chance? I notice that if I use self tanners and try to blend well, sometimes I rub the lotion down my legs and soles of my feet. I think because my feet are dry, the lotion sort of discolors the slin...? |

wow my daughter has the same problem too!
i always thought it was because of her flip flops.
see her flip flops are a golden orange color.
and she always wears them.
so i thought it kind of wore off on her feet.
 interesting. |

This happens to me also. The soles of my feet are more orangey than pink. Not due to dry/thick skin as I get regular pedicures, not excess vitamin A and no mine's not self tanner either.
I never have been able to figure it out - maybe someone will hit on the reason. |

I do use retin a but not every day, so it cant be overdose on vit a! My flip flps are black. So its kinda weird why they have an orange ting, but heartening to know Im know alone!!  |

hhm should check it out with a doctor...
Just a wild guess, perhaps we stand too much on our feet so watever toxins in our body ended up in our feet? So making it a weird orangy color? |

| Could just be a skin tone thing. Different people / different tones. Like some people have red undertone, yellow undertones, maybe some people have orange undertones?! |

haha good point but it's kinda strange that only the soles of the feet have this orangy color but not elsewhere... |

This could be very true because I also have an orange tint to my heels and I have yellow (not orange  ) undertones, but I have never noticed it on my shoes |

| I recently had a taster session of Reflexology and the reflexologist commented that i have a sligbt yellowy tint to my feet. His message was drink more water, he said there were toxins in the body and they needed flushing out, although I do think that the standing on our feet comment was possibly true hehe. |

Orange palms and/or soles can be a sign of low thyroid. When a person is hypothyroid they don't process carotenoids the way a normal person does. It's easily corrected once they begin taking thyroid medication.
Before I was diagnosed with thyroid problems people kept asking me if I was going to the tanning bed and this was in the middle of winter. I told them of course not, I wear sunscreen 365 days a year! I was diagnosed low thyroid shortly after that and I was taking a vitamin that had a lot of beta carotene in it at the time. I returned to my normal color a few months after I started taking thyroid meds. |
