Anyone have any Questions? I have tons.

I have so many questions about things that i'm afraid i might offend people if I ask them directly. And is it only me who has these weird questions? Like Barefooters? I a lot of the time do not wear shoes. I've had three different experiences where doctors had to remove metal from my foot ( Nail, needle, paperclip) But the people who never wear shoes.....What do they do in the winter? And where do they find jobs?.....(I guess they could be lifeguards or something.) And People who use cloth menstrul pads, I thought this was a really neat idea..... But what do you do with it? I mean your at school and you need to change your pad.... Where do you put the dirty one? Can anyone answer these questions? And does anyone else have weird questions like mine?

 

theyre not weird


you could put the used cloth in a plastic bag

if they needed a job, they would probably put shoes oln

in the winter if its snowy some people can handle it, some put shoes on

 

I wear socks with my sandals in the winter. If the sidewalks are covered with more than a half inch of snow I do wear boots until the sidewalks are clear. Other than that I wear sandals year round.

The only weird or dumb question is the one you don't ask.

i have a question : why do u go barefoot ?

 

A lot of times shoes hurt my feet....barefeet is just more comfortable.

 

But the ground hurts your feet worse than soles, no?

 

Not at all. My feet get all sweaty and can't breath in shoes. They feel pinched and cramped. I don't go totally barefoot outside as much as I did when I was younger. I wear sandals outside. But they come off the second I'm indoors. My feet are much older and much more senstivie than they used to be.

well i get your point, u dont wear shoes cuz u're not comfy in them. When im not comfy in my shoes i dont wear them either, that doesnt make me a "barefooter"... its a bit like u're labelling yourself when u go "I dont wear shoes"... lol...

 

The fact is I don't wear shoes. I don't own shoes. I haven't worn shoes in 20 years. I wear sandals when I have to and the rest of the time I'm barefoot. If that's a label. I don't care. I also accept the label of middle aged, overweight, worn out hippie, as well as mama, wife, gamma, friend, and a lot of others. Labels aren't always so bad.

ah no, labels arent bad, thats not what i was goin for...
i just think its funny to decide not to wear shoes... but hey, w/e floats your boat

 

I started because I live with my grandma and she has a big, long gravel driveway and a lot of land around the house that is just dirt and rocks and I hated how it hurt to walk on the gravel barefoot so I decided that the only way to really get rid of that problem was to go barefoot all the time and toughen up my soles so it WOULDN'T hurt. Now it doesn't and I'm so glad.

 

is it just as funny to decide not to wear a bra? .... or underwear? .... or skirts? Or hoow about to not drive? is it just as funny o decide that you dont want to brush you hair and you grow dread locks? Theres nothing funny about a decision because decisions are made for a reason... i barefoot becaise theres nothing quite like the feeling of the ground under your feet.

 

i dont wear shoes most of the year, unless i am getting a job that requires em, then i put on sandals... i never go barefoot to a job interview cuz i know if i do they wont call me back! i wear sandals with socks most of the winter

Good point

I think it's funny that people decide to wear shoes all the time. After all we were born without shoes; So it's not like going barefoot is going to kill you, and it's a daft taboo.

I only wear shoes when the weather and/or terrain are against me. Otherwise there is no logical reason for shoes. My feet look good and feel better naked.

 

i'm waiting for the day when it becoms taboo not to wear gloves and a face mask

 

oooh but i never meant to sound disrespectful ok?

as i said, w/e floats your boat...
its all a question of comfort, and maybe im uptight and all, but yea, i do wear shoes
