Hot Asphalt Contest

Discussion in 'Barefoot' started by Deleted member 159087, Aug 30, 2009.

  1. I kind enjoy seeing how much heat I can tolerate by walking on sunlit black asphalt.

    I live in Pennsylvania, where it doesn't get too, too hot (unlike many other states) but i"ve found a few patches on a good day around noon or so.

    Any takers? We'd have to figure out a way to calculate ground temps.

    I'm lousy at hot temperatures; cold I'm better at, but then I'm more practiced at it!

    In my many years experience, the UK is never too hot for barefooting.

    Where is that (city)? Just curious.

    Having tried walking barefoot in Phoenix when it was ~115 deg F and frying my feet, I'll concede victory to you Boogabaah. I certainly wouldn't want to meet you in nuspieds' "hot asphalt walking contest."

    I'm not that great at hotfooting yet. I haven't had a chance to practice lately, either, especially since most of this season has been unseasonably cool in Kansas. It's now too cool for hotfooting here, and I doubt it'll get hot enough until next season.

    Up to 110F...? Whew, I must say, I'm glad to live in a more moderate climate zone... the hottest day we had was around 97F - and since I work in an office without a/c, hot pavement wasn't my first worry... I (as well as colleagues) tried not to be swept away in waves of our bodies' own salt water. :D

    I guess I could stand a short and brisk walk over the hot pavement you mentioned... after a few years of barefooting (twentysomething with almost ten of them 24/7), my paws should be used to it.

    Wiggling toes which are happy on warm ground,
