Topic: Barefooters

I love the fact my toes have spread, and my feet are tanned. I also love the tough but soft soles that being barefoot can create.
Topic: Barefooters

It has improved my wellbeing, I don’t have ankle issues or aches in my big toe where it broke once (in shoes) and it has helped my confidence not worrying what other think.
Topic: Barefooters

It makes me feel good. From head to toe. I get to experience the adventure that is walking barefoot, and all the good/bad that comes with it.
Topic: Barefooters

Take your time and do your research. You can’t go barefoot in a day, but the work is very well worth it.
Topic: Barefooters

I got exposed to some ideas that challenged my own bias against being barefoot. I researched it further and saw that there were benefits.
Topic: Barefooters

I think most barefooters would agree that the best reaction is no reaction.
Topic: Barefooters

I like feeling the dirt on my feet when I hike
Topic: Barefooters

I just laugh off any bad reaction and wriggle some dirty toes at them
Topic: Barefooters

It has so many benefits, don’t knock it til you try it
Topic: Barefooters

Better health, stronger libido, more confidence.
Topic: Barefooters

I think the rise in people with a foot fetish is directly related to the decline in people going barefoot. People sexualize the parts of the body that are usually covered.
Topic: Barefooters

I wish that it was seen as being as normal / acceptable as wearing flip flops etc.
Topic: Barefooters

I wish it were normal and accepted. And that people wouldn’t comment on it at all even though I enjoy it.
Topic: Barefooters

I haven’t had any pain in my knees or hips since I started, my posture is better and I pay more attention to where I’m walking.
Topic: Barefooters

I do wish people wouldn’t be so weirded out and judgemental.
Topic: Barefooters

It’s a personal choice
Topic: Barefooters

I wash my feet and keep them clean and my feet stink less than if they were in shoes.
Topic: Barefooters

It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I would encourage people to just try it out. You don’t have to commit 100% and if you don’t like it you can still stick to shoes.
Topic: Barefooters

It’s healthier, it’s better for you in the long term and also better for the people around you. Also it will save u a lot of money for shoes and socks.
Topic: Barefooters

It’s a personal choice just like wearing a hat or not; wearing long pants or shorts; wearing a hoodie or a tank-top. Some people think bare feet look unpleasant, but that could be said about a lot of things.
Topic: Barefooters

My legs and ankles look awesome. I give way fewer fucks about what people think in general. I fall sleep easier thinking about the walks I recently had.
Topic: Barefooters

It is funny that so many people respond to barefoot people with lectures about safety but it is not safety that drives me to put on shoes, it is always just to avoid confrontation from them.
Topic: Barefooters

Feeling the ground under my soles brings me back to my surroundings and centers me in the present.
Topic: Barefooters

I think barefoot tends to be associated with hippies. It’s possible that I am a bit of a hippie, but I don’t think those two things are connected for the most part.
Topic: Barefooters

Love the freedom and sensations.
Topic: Barefooters

It has benefits and is very fun and honestly therapeutic. I believe it should be more respected as a practice than it is.
Topic: Barefooters

People think it’s illegal but it isn’t.
Topic: Barefooters

It is not dangerous, I won’t step in glass and bleed all over the place.
Topic: Barefooters

It really is fun and showing your bare feet and soles will make you more confident.
Topic: Barefooters

There’s a lack of sensation as well as a lack of ‘precision’ that comes with wearing shoes, and it’s always felt unnatural to me.
Topic: Barefooters

For charity. Turned it into an experiment to document somatosensory hypersensitivity in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Topic: Barefooters

It also has helped with confidence, and made me overcompensate that I dress well and my hygiene is great while being barefoot
Topic: Barefooters

Ever since I was a kid, I have hated shoes. They hurt my feet.
Topic: Barefooters

Like people who don’t wear hats. You don’t need hats all the time, why would you need shoes all the time?
Topic: Barefooters

No pain in my feet and better body posture
Topic: Barefooters

The fire in my knees subsided. My hip pain went away. It was like magic. Never ever ever going back.
Topic: Barefooters

Just get rid of that ridiculous taboo or stigma or whatever we want to call it. Let people who want to be barefoot be barefoot, without any negative consequences.

“you’re not wearing any shoes!” – thank you captain obvious
Topic: Barefooters

Shoes are crippling foot binding that harm our feet.
Topic: Barefooters

that my feet smell. They’d smell if I wore shoes!
Topic: Barefooters

I wouldn’t be doing this if it caused me more pain than wearing shoes!
Topic: Barefooters

We’re not insane. We just don’t like shoes.
