The foot, which was inside a running shoe, turned up along the British Columbia coast late Tuesday, according to police.
The body part, which was still attached to the lower part of the leg, was spotted by a passerby near the Vancouver's False Creek.
Police have no theories as to how the foot ended up in the water - but have not suggested that foul play is suspected.
Since 2007, nearly a dozen feet encased in shoes have appeared on beaches in the area, including a few over the border in Washington state.
The bizarre discovers have attracted international attention - and spawned fears of a serial killer.
But
cops have steadfastly denied that anything sinister is behind the
gruesome discovers, suggesting that the deaths were drownings or
suicides and that the decaying feet separated from corpses naturally in
the water.
Most of the remains are still unidentified, though
police said at least three of the feet have been matched with British
Columbia men who were reported missing.
