I Can't Stand...

Well, that just means they are tough and can handle the earth like they are suppose to.

 

It makes me feel vulnerable to earth monsters.

 

To much toxic dust ,glass, nails, nasty chewing gum with HIV , plus streets in the south get so hot in the summer you could fry a egg.

 

Amen to that. No HIV for me thanks.

If I wanted HIV I'd just sleep with people.

 

ooh..i was married to one exactly the same... HA biker boy with feet smoother than a baby's backside...

outside of work and a trip to the shops i NEVER wear shoes... i like to FEEL connected to the earth..

 

I also hate shoes, especially high-heeled ones. I prefer comfortable shoes when it's too cold to walk barefoot. Almost all of my friends like high-heeled shoes and when it snows they all hold my hands because I'm the only one without heels (therefore stable enough).
Once when I was a child I went barefoot from one to the other end of the village my grandparents used to live in just because I was sick&tired of my shoes. Wearing shoes hurts a lot more than walking barefoot - unless the place is exceptionally dirty
And the signature makes my opinion clear enough, I suppose. How can anyone resist the temptation of walking barefoot on such green grass?

 

Me too, I hate being barefoot. Can't stand dirty feeling feet, or clammy feet in cold weather. I even wear socks to bed.

 

I'll tell you how I resist it - knowing that there may be sharp HIV filled syringes hidden in the grass.

 

OK, but do you know whether someone has really experienced that? In my country no one fears that may happen. Probably the situation is different at the place you live in.

 

i absolutely adore going barefoot.. i hate shoes, and socks. when i wear tennis shoes, my feet sweat too much, and they are too tight, and im just plain uncomfortable.. if i have to wear shoes, i wear my brown or black clogs that i got from the dollar general for 7 bucks each...

i love the feel of grass under my feet, or dusty roads, and sand... it just feels great...

 

I wear human scalps on my feet. It's an old indian trick.

 

marry me peacelovebarefeet, lol

 

haha.. i'm definately not old enough right now... hit me up in a couple of years...

lol. i'm such a dork, seriously.

 

I live in the crystal meth capital of America in the west coast where heroin is epidemic.

 

i've always been prone to bare feet, whereas dave has the prettiest, most delicate skin on his feet, except for his recurring athlete's foot problem, since he's always wearing shoes and the poor things never have a chance to dry out....

so he used to tease me about my rawhide feet, the way i could walk across burning hot pavement, ice/snow and sharp gravel with impunity, while he needed shoes to walk across anything. i've finally convinced him to let his feet toughen up, and now he shows me his calloused dirty feet with pride. "i have manly feet like you now," he says.

 

LOL kc!
I am a total bare-footer. If it's warm enough I'll go everywhere barefoot--pavement, grass, gravel (my least favourite) and my favourite: forest. You'd think I'd cut myself left and right in the forest, but I've been barefooting for a long time and I've cut myself three times: twice on broken glass and once on a gravel path... I think it was Pabsy who said this, and it's also why I go barefoot: "I like to FEEL connected to the earth!"

Also, I walk totally differently when I'm not wearing shoes. I can't go CLUNK CLUNK THUMP CLUNK, jolting my body every step. I walk on the balls of the feet (that's the part right before the toes) first instead of heels first, gently and fluidly. It's got full-body benefits.

 

yep. i get in trouble for "sneaking" up on people. my best friend, my husband and my mom wanted to put a bell on me. so i learned to thud my heel on the floor when making my final approach.

but until showing up here, i had no idea being barefoot was a 'movement.'

at any rate, dave's feet don't get sickly nearly so often now.

 

that was perfect
and i just wanted to say so...

*wiggles toes* yes...yes it was

 

You know what, I do wear a bell sometimes! A little silver anklet with a bell and some glass beads. With barefeet, my anklet, a flowy-circle skirt, and a loose, rich coloured shirt (no bra of course) I feel like a dryad. You should try wearing a bell, kc.

 

i'm more a jeans and sweats kinda cow....maybe a cowbell is the way to go.
