Hi all. A few weeks I posted that I was a 19 yo shoes and socks guy living with a couple of barefoot roomies. They tried to get me to join them, and well, after a few weeks of taking some (barefoot) steps, I can say they succeeded in turning me. At this point I'm not only barefoot at home, they managed to help me overcome my fear of showing my feet in public and flip flops became my first footwear choice -if any is necessary-. I actually like to slip my flip flops if possible like in restaurants or parks. I even venture a couple of blocks from home barefoot if needed. Now I'm not only shy anymore, I feel confortable to show my feet. Actually, I now hate them being trapped in socks or shoes. My roomies even made me an anklet as initiation after joining the barefoot gang. We are proud barefoot boys. Oh, and one of my closest friend noticed my switch to barefeet and flip flops, then asked me why. I told him he should try as well, that once he gets to experience the freedom it gives, he'll be like me, let's see if he does!
It’s a awesome lifestyle I have been going barefoot for 33 years I will never go back to wearing socks or shoes ever.
