Wondering if going barefoot on college campuses is a growing trend? If so, where?

    First saw this years ago. Wonder what happened to them or if they are still together. Seemed to be his idea with her just looking longingly as he talked. Probably got married to other people, went to work and have forgotten all about bare footing. Happens.

    Who knows,

    Made me think of my girlfriend who I would go barefoot to the mall with. Fun, I practiced my peripheral vision to see peoples second look when they see a couple walking barefoot in the mall. No one much reacted to it, I would imagine some were thinking that looks like fun.

    I wonder where she is. I got CRS can't remember stuff what was her last name ??? Its in my head its so easy but I can't access it. I am stuck.

    Probably what happened to that lady in the democrat debate who could not remember the President of Mexico's name. Just got stuck.

    Some really moronic comments on that (old) YouTube video.
    Some guy "doesn't want to live on this planet anymore" because other people chose to go BF?
    Wow. Hopefully he got his wish.

    Where do these people come from? Almost nobody cares or even thinks about it. I did a pretty fair amount of bare footing last summer, and with the exception of being told the usual blather about health codes at the self-check out line at a Kroger-owned store, I never saw that one person ever did a double take or stared. Not one. An old guy in a wheelchair did tell me he liked my t-shirt! BTW, apparently Kroger lets their managers decide things like this, so just because you are good in one store, doesn't mean you are good in another. Was told that by the corporate office.

    Must be something about self-checkouts. I had an older lady attendant at Walmart practically freak out when she saw me barefoot. She didn't even have the courtesy to come over and speak to me. Starts almost yelling from 10 feet away that I "can't be barefoot in the store". She seemed almost apoplectic, it was funny. I pretended not to hear her and she ran to get a "manager", a 20-something girl. At least she came over to speak to me like a normal adult. She told me I needed shoes in the store. I said "thank you" and finished checking out, lol. I was done with my shopping and not interested in engaging her in a conversation. I'm in that store almost weekly and that was the first time I had anyone notice or say anything. I'm still going there barefoot, no issues since that one encounter last month. You never know. You get noticed by some employee with an opinion like those idiotic posters on that video and they feel they have to "do something about it".

    When I was in college, about a decade ago, there was a whole group of students who went bare foot everywhere. The Cafeteria would not let you in bare foot however and I don't know about going to class barefoot, I never tried that myself although apparently decades early students did go to class barefoot because at the time the dorms and many of the classes were in the same building.
