Yup! My mother went barefoot all the time. I think that's how I got the habit; it just seemed normal (which it is, or course) because Mom was...
It really depends on the trail. Some trails are soft dirt and/or mud and some are even grassy. But a lot of stones and roots...eh...not so good.
Yes, I agree. I've never even considered such ridiculous foot ware. It also kind of defeats the purpose for me as I don't like anything touching...
Back in the yard today... (my truck in the background) [ATTACH]
Anything wet is enjoyable, as long as it isn't too cold. Or, if it is cold, it's a hot day so your feet quickly warm up again. I love...
Welcome, and you're "preaching to the choir." You've found like minded people.
More yardwork...yep...barefoot! [ATTACH]
Yes, dirt, mud, hardware stores...but avoid petroleum products. Some will advise you to walk on fresh tar, oil spots, grease, etc. Do you really...
I actually have to agree with one comment from the article: “People walking barefoot at home also tend to stub their toes.” I've injured my feet...
Yes, it's a great picture on so many levels.
Wow, scrolling through there are some fascinating photos in those collections. Heartbreaking, though to see children working in factories,...
In my internet wanderings I found this pic: school children in Alabama around 1940. Those boys look like they've never worn shoes. [ATTACH]
I'm 66 and still go barefoot...although I haven't hiked the Rocky Mountains lately. I think as we get older, we slack off maybe? So our callouses...
Another favorite place: Oregon Sand Dunes. Just make sure you go to the part where ATVs are banned! (unless ATVs are your thing) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
As I've stated before, I've hiked a lot in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. Usually when you see a patch like the one above,...
I got to cruising the Internet to find more pirate movies, and came across this picture of Genevieve Bujold on the set of "Swashbuckler." That's...
Wow, that movie looks like it has potential. And it appears that Jean Peters is barefoot most of the time. My fantasy pirate woman! The foreign...
I doubt slivers were an issue. Wooden decks were holystoned to keep them smooth, and the sailors had fairly tough feet.
OK, so you "imagine" what a "cactus field" is. Sorry, not trying to be argumentative...but I've been all over the southwest on my bare feet....
Yeah, it's just a thing, but not a "Thing."
