Seems plausible. That is not to say that a lack of hair on the feet would mean a lack of blood to the feet - there may be many reasons why one may not have hair on the feet; but I would imagine that a lack of blood to the feet would probably starve any hair follicles their of nourishment, and so kill off any hair that would otherwise be growing there.

You get the feeling that whoever first said that had hairy feet. My mother reckons hair on the toes scares tigers away..."Well I haven't seen any tigers!!" :P
