I just started going barefoot and I love it! The feeling of the connection to earth, the sensation of various terrains beneath me, and the immense feeling of liberation that I feel!
Yep, its a great feeling. I started about your age. And this is a great time of year to try it out now that everything is starting to get warmer. Just remember to do a little at a time so your feet build up toughness. And just as important is so you can build up personal toughness. Not everybody is going to be as thrilled as you about it, believe me.
After goin barefoot on and off for more than 10 years i still feel the exact same way every time i walk out my door.
It feels great, does not hurt anyone else, perfectly legal and it's FREE! It can't get better than that!
