I started barefooting when I was 12, and it’s been 3 years since that, but I don’t remember ever being as active as I was this year’s summer, lots of family trips, going out in general, experiencing lots of surfaces under my soles, ranging from moss and forest grounds and mud, to scorching hot city asphalts and various public transports (trains, subways, plane etc). It’s been great all this time and all of that without shoes!
Hii! And yea, I’ve always been grateful to my family about it, they did have some doubts at first (especially with big cities and gravel and stuff) but very quickly they got used to it
