Currently I tend to walk around barefoot most of the time, only putting on shoes when going to work or when they are needed for safety.
The safety part probably won’t change, it’s mainly for ankle protection while paragliding (hard landings) and it’s part of the insurance rules, with good reason (similar to how wrist guards while skating are a good idea)
For the work part… I’m a consultant and at the moment I’m not yet up to the task of explaining my reasons to 1) my boss & 2) the customer I’m currently working with (which can change allot) & 3) the customers of the customers I’m working with (who often come past whatever table I’m working at). So for now, I’m considering shoes at work a necessary evil while I’m representing my company, similar to how the people in suits probably see their ties :p
Now my next goal would be to combine my jogging ‘thing to do’ with this one resulting in barefoot jogging, I’m guessing the jogging will hurt allot more than the barefoot running, even if it’s mostly on asphalt :D
As for reactions I got, most where neutral or good, surprised at seeing someone without shoes and/or asking about the reason behind it.
There where only a few negative ones though, and nothing too severe.

It’s eight years now that I’ve decided to live my life barefoot! Having left Europe for good, I’m living in South India where I’m able to go barefoot on a 24/7/365 basis, and my soles got so tough over the years that even sharp gravel, tarmac and snow are no problem for me!
