I love cutting my lawn barefoot I do that every week I just wish my bare feet would get really green but they got a little bit green
Mowing barefoot feels great. But, back then I was never a fan of getting martian feet nor stepping on one of the land mines left by my three dogs. I felt more comfortable in mid summer when the grass was dried out and barely tall due to the summer heat. No martian feet and easier to see the puppy paddies.
I mostly use a riding mower and I ride barefoot. I have mowed with a push mower barefoot. My feet got real dark a green.
I have an old style reel mower (so I don't accidentally chop off my toes or something) and I love using that thing so much because I can comfortably and safely go barefoot. It's one one of my favorite chores now
