Because it feels good (physically), because it's fun, because it is natural, because it's healty, because it feels good spiritually as well... And indeed, why not?
I like to go barefoot to, and I like it, but why did hippies startdet go barefoot? sorry for my bad english...
Why go shod? Why go barehanded? Hippies didn't start the whole barefoot thing. They just had more balls than everyone else that were too wimpy to go barefoot back in the 60's.
I think the answer is "it makes me look like a hippie, dude". When I was a 15-year-old hippy-fantasist, that was my answer. Same with the beads'n'shit.
I wish bernie had seen this thread.... he goes bare feet all the tie to make his soles harder and stronger.... personally i only like going bare foot on the beach ...maybe with little pebbles where if you step on them at a certin angle it feels almost orgasmic....
It's wonderful to be One with Mother Nature. To have nothing between you and her. It is a beautiful feeling when you feel the cool grass and the squishy mud and know that nothing can come between you. It's the best relationship in the world.
It feels really good to have a connection with the earth even though most of the stuff you walk on is cement nad such. but its just gives you a good sense of freedom. makes your feet really strong. i cant put a lighter to the bottom of my foot and not feel anything at all. your feet dont smell, they dont get hot it keeps your body temp at good levels. all kinds of good stuff man.
