As for spirit gum... it's mainly used for applying prosthetics and you need spirit gum remover or it may not ever come off. I wouldn't recommend it for putting hair to your feet. Reason one is because it doesn't dry clear. Reason two is because it would be very, very hard and painful to remove. You are supposed to let spirit gum remover sit for an hour before you can even attempt to remove the object you glued to yourself.

I don't know if it would work, but perhaps you could try working some hair into liquid latex (which drys clear). It may not stay on as well, but liquid latex is easy to remove... it just peels right off when you are done.
You could also make some foot top pieces with the hair already on them with the latex. You paint the latex on a mirror (many layers, you don't want it to tear to easily)... and when your last layer is still wet apply the hair and dry (using a hair dryer speeds up the drying process). When it is completely dry you can peel it from the mirror and use spirit gum to apply the piece to your foot-top (only put the spirit gum around the edges, unless you are in for some pain...). You can then blend the edges to your foot by painting more liquid latex around the edges so that they are smoother. You can then use make-up to match the skin tones.

I have never tried this, so I am not sure if it is 100% flawless, but it's all I can come up with without having to create whole prosthetic feet.
You should be able to pick up all of these products at your local Halloween shop or theatrical costume shop.
