tootsies

Affectionate term, feet

Tootsies is an affectionate or playful term for toes or feet, used especially when speaking to or about children: Wiggle your tootsies.

Adults use it humorously to refer to their own feet: My tootsies are freezing.

The singular tootsie can also be a term of endearment for a person, though this sounds dated.
