Police have won an unusual bid to have the feet of two terror suspects photographed as part of an ongoing investigation.

Prosecutors won their bid in Sydney's Central Local Court to get permission to have photos taken of the feet of Iraqi refugee Omar Al-Kutobi, 25, and 26-year-old Mohammad Kiad, a student from Kuwait, ABC reports.

The pair are accused of plotting a terrorist attack after being arrested during a raid at their Fairfield home last year.

Police found a hunting knife, machete, homemade Islamic State flag and a video depicting a man talking about carrying out an attack during the raid.

Those items already form part of the case against the pair.

During the raid police allege they found a phone, connected to the men, that contains a photo of feet next to an Islamic flag.

Police want the men's feet photographed so they can be compared by a podiatrist or jury.

ABC reports that the men's lawyer argued against the application saying it would be an 'intrusion and of only incremental value'.
