10000% Can't have Jinx without her "best enemy." Don't worry though, I've already been cooking on that.

I would argue that the older foot textures is actually better overall.
The new one is just "softer" and removes all the details; which loses the eroticism and uniqueness of the original texture.
I will said, however, the original toes part did seem misaligned with how the shading only went on one side of the toe.
That might be the only part that was "improved" for the feet.
As someone who predominantly only consumes foot content; this is a fairly large downgrade. All the detail is gone for boring "smooth" looking feet, which I can find on 80% of models already uploaded on the HUB.
The previous made more sense both in the artstyle of the character, and in her environment; walking in boots all the time would create such redness.
Some uniqueness in the soles of a character make them more erotic. Individuality and all that; they're "her feet", etc. Now they're generic, soulless (lol) VAM feet.
The existing heel of the soles, sides, and upper pads were fine.
The sole line in the middle was quite nice too; although maybe just a bit too heavy handed.
I think you should go back to the previous foot texture, and just slightly adjust the toes.
Just a touch of red/pink blush, and slightly lower the opacity of the existing red of the toes (although maybe a proper clean up of the baked red AO would be prudent rather than just opacity touching it - it's not horrible, it just needs to make more sense).
Also, a proper soles normal map that actually suits the character can go a VERY long way.
Generating one from the existing texture using a black/white/grey height map in Substance Painter will produce a better results than not having one at all.
Although custom is always preferred, of course - but that's a much harder endeavor.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I guess I'm not into feet enough myself but it's good to know - and kind of an eye openere for me - that there are foot/feet lovers on the hub. I will for sure update her again and fix the things you mention, I also wasn't 100% satisfied with this quick fix.

If you would like more feedback, it wouldn't be the first time I've given my opinion and technical help in a professional capacity with regards to both a 3D model or 2D artwork.
Please feel free to reach out in DMs or elsewhere if you'd like to discuss it in a more in-depth capacity. I am passionate about the subject and will gladly help improve a model's feet for the great community.
Both in texture and 3D topology if need be. I can provide many examples, etc.
And yes, there's a lot of foot-related content on the HUB. It's why commonly even generalized Scene will typically have at least ONE foot-related animation included in many such cases.
Some cater much more heavily than others (bless these people). Quality feet is an art. Even subtle changes can make a big difference.
Part of this is due to the fact that the feet are typically in your face or within your vision in close proximity; so even small details become important.
I could go on at length; once again, I'm happy to help you improve - please let me know.
