    Going Shoeless  — 7 months ago

    I have started to go shoeless in public places. I was forced to confiscate my shoes most of the time. It is fun so far. I would love to do this for the year of 2008. Before I go to work, I walk shoeless. After I get off from work, I go shoeless. I also go to church shoeless. I only put my running shoes on when I go running. After my workout, I take my shoes off.

    well, at our school. we must go barefoot. we are having this pipeline fixed, so everymorning, when we go to school, the confiscate our shoes and socks and we have to wade. its cold, but king of fun. since this is going on for another few months, none of us wear shoes anymore. there was frost this morning and i walked right through it. If you go to one of our malls, you will see that all the kids that go to our school are barefoot.

    going barfoot is wonderful. At our school, we all go barefoot all year and its great. at first we wore shoes, but when the school got funds to have carpets placed, students started going to school barefoot! i thought it was weird, until I tried it. Then we signed a petition stating to have all students go barefoot. more than half of the student body signed! Now we are only allowed shoes in the winter, but we decide to go barefoot anyways. walking in the snow is fun! =) It might hurt at first, my toes went numb in the winter and i stepped on glass, but trust me, its worth it. plus you can stop worrying about shoe fashions. people are actually saving hundreds of dollars because of this. i think all schools should do this.

    Optional  — 10 months ago

    Worth doing!

    I grew up in a world where children went barefoot. In primary school shoes were optional. It’s not that we were poor, I did have shoes for school, we just did not wear them, or at least not in summer. I’m glad to see that this still happens in my home town.

    It’s a pity I have to wear shoes to work for fashion & safety, because it makes my feet go soft and makes it a bit painful to walk on pebbles and rough grass.

    (Oh, and I always giggle on the inside when I see nudists wearing shoes.)

    No shoes = No stress.  — 10 months ago

    It’s funny how such a small thing like this causes me to be more relaxed.

    I've Been Taking Every Open Opportunity to Go Barefoot!!!  — 1 year ago

    Worth doing!

    Like this morning, I walked barefoot to my neighbor’s to water their plants. And yesterday, I walked barefoot through the grass. It’s so natural. I love the feel of earth against my feet. I go barefoot as much as possible. If I can go one week without shoes, I’d be so happy! But in some places, it’s not appropriate. Like in restaurants, and at school. But right now, I think I’m doing fairly good on this goal. I completely forget when I adopted it, but it doesn’t matter. just as long as my feet are feelin good. :)

    i have always had problems grounding during meditation. after learning to walk barefoot, i feel so much more connected with the earth. it makes me feel incredibly grounded.

    I’m now more comfortable without shoes than with. I’m okay walking on rough asphalt and fine gravel, and often leave the house without even thinking about shoes. I’d say I’m a bonafide barefooter.

    Worth doing!

    ...I walked home barefoot from school. It kinda hurt. With the road and small pebbles and all. it didn’t count. i need to be in more appropriate surroundings.
    ugh. this is gonna be harder than i thought

    Ahhh, the freedom!  — 1 year ago

    Worth doing!

    First, I need to toughen up my feet for sharp rocks and hot asphalt. Then it will get a lot easier.
