Zusammenfassung:Feet play a crucial role in migration, and experiences of death and hopes for new life are etched into migrants' soles. In the face of complex and fraught ethical debates that have largely been deontological and teleological in tone, this article employs feet and footwashing as heuristic devices to suggest the need for receiving communities to develop a multi-textured virtue-based response alongside these. Cultivation of a habitus rooted in attention to bodies, service, power subversion, mutuality and confession could lead to new life both for those in migration and those long settled.
