“Where are your shoes?!” One by one, my fellow students at my high school question. Keyword: ONE BY ONE. So I get tired and skip the lengthy explanations and reply: “In my backpack/at home.” The question “Why?” is answered by my public speaking project- one revolving around how shoes ruin our feet and how we walk. By taking up this goal of going bare feet as often as I can, I understand that I am going to go against the very object that I have been conditioned to breathe by ever since birth, an ex-loved object of if-it-were-not-so-dirty-I-would-kiss-it-status, what may be here to stay in our society, shoes. I know that I will adapt to a world and society that has optimized itself for the shod and in the process of hardship, I will adapt to myself. I currently stand by this bottom line: “Shoes are tools and will be used only if needed.” Wish me luck, out.

LadyKid is feeling like blah.
I took my shoes off in Disneyland. :P Running around in my rainbow colored socks was cool. :P I’m barefoot now. I’ve always preferred barefoot over slippers, flipflops, shoes and other footware. My mother and aunts are always telling me to wear something on my feet. :P
Going outside barefoot isn’t really going to work, here in Holland/Amsterdam, you find broken glass peaces everywhere (oftentimes even on or near childrens playgrounds!) and people look at you like you’re looking for attention or something. Like you’re weird.
I have started to go barefoot since the beginning of this year. I love it. I go barefoot in public places even at church. I don’t wear shoes as much. This is my lifestyle choice.

So I smoke, but I’m not allowed to in the house. I figured I’d go barefoot when I’m outside having a fag, it’s a start.
It’s all wet and rainy, good ole UK weather. Damn I never realised how much shoes insulate you from the cold ground! My feet are like ice blocks now, ha
I go barefoot whenever I can. I especially love to hike barefoot. I feel more agile and light-footed. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of dirt or grass beneath my feet. It’s wonderful. I’m reluctant to go barefoot in public, though, because it’s still frowned upon in many places. I plan to get over that soon.
When the weather is good I take my shoes and socks off and I go barefoot. Everywhere, street, shops, train..It is a great feeling of freedom. Everybody must do this.
There is nothing more amazing than spending an entire day without shoes! I like this goal…this is gonna be a fun one!
I am a barefooter. I go barefoot wherever I can. I am always barefoot in my home and whereever I can go in public. anywhere I cannot be barefoot i wear flip flops. i never wear socks. being barefoot is the best feeling. theres no better feeling then going in my yerd and the feeling of my bsre soles touching the grass. if you love going barefoot join barefooters.org
I go barefoot all the time and have scaly, dry skin on my feet. But if you really want to; USE MOISTURIZER!
