  Yes<http://www.google.com/search?q=foot+mouse&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS228>

  But you should note the ergonomic problems of one. The main problem of hand
  mice is static muscle loading--you have to hold your finger up for prolonged
  periods of time. This stresses the same muscles repeatedly and can cause
  problems with circulation, and the problem will probably be bigger if the
  foot mouse works the same way. (That said, I couldn't figure out exactly
  how those foot mice work, so this may not matter.)
