Here is a tip from me to all, as I do this whenever needed.
If you aren't feeling well ~ spend time barefoot in a patch of chamomile. Revives headaches, tension and stress ;)
Another is to walk around in granite sand barefoot for an earth-foot-massage.

As an old hippy of sorts...I always knew there was a reason why I enjoy being barefoot.

As a kid I would ask mother "mum can I wear my barefeet when we go out"

Read the book, "Earthing". About being electrically grounded to Mother Earth and slurping up all her glorious energies.

squelch mud through your toes , does good things , unless you neglect to wipe your feet before you go back inside

Hello all

I have to admit to being another barefoot, I hate having to wear shoes or socks and all my time at home I always have bare feet, if you really want to treat your feet have a walk in the surf and then along the beach – absolute heaven!

Love to all. JP :cool:

i love bearfeet too, just not when going out, as i live in the middle of the city >.<

While on the feet matter - how does one... harden up.? their feet? so walking around bearfoot in the bush etc wont make me jump every 2 steps as ive setpped on a twig which prickled my foot lol

[John Parslow]

Hello Tigahawk

I think you will find the less you wear shoes the more your feet will harden up, worked for me but I have not been wearing shoes for a number of years - at home and in the garden that is.

Love and peace to you. JP :cool:

Only thing I know that works is 'practice'.

There is, however, a slight drawback. The more time you spend 'outa your shoes' the wider your feet tend to get.
On the upside... soon you won't need fins to go SCUBA diving ;)

John parslow, I visit Looe often as I have family there, love to walk barefoot there but weymouth is mostly too rocky where I am. :-(

[John Parslow]

Hello Ammit

You need to come a bit further South and West, Hayle beach is three miles of fine white sand, just great for barefoot walking ...

Love and peace to you friend. JP :cool:

When I was 10, I spent the entire school summer holiday never wearing any shoes. Like a horse, you learn how to walk without damaging your motivation devices. You learn how to step and use your peripheral vision to see what you need to see, without actually looking directly at it. Like the horse... it is a skill that is built directly into you... you just need to relearn it.

After a few months, I could run (almost) flat-out on gravel rocks. A combination of learning how to do it and my body getting used to moving with that sort of posture and foot strike.. my feet hardening and musculature getting used to the stride and carry.

10 years old and carrying out physiological and psychological experiments on myself. It did not bode well for the expected teenage drug and alcohol years. :p

After nearly 3 months of no shoes at all, it was very tricky to walk with shoes and they felt incredibly stifling.

There is an old bushman's tip I learned which claims that the soles can be toughened by urinating on the feet. Not the most attractive idea I know but it is supposed to work.

Once I went on one Caribbean island to see my friends living there and I remember with joy that barefoot walk on the golden sand beach while ocean slightly touching my feet...:yes4:

Hi Shadowstalker,


Always hated wearing shows , my feet could never breath.

A very good point you bring up. Breathing. Our skin is and regulates the inner/outer boundary. Which begs the question: why stop at bare feet?

:typing:

ps: There ought to be zones (in every municipality) where human units can escape to ... to bare their feet and other parts of the boundary. I'm half-joking, of course; but that necessarily means I'm half-serious, wot? (Had to rush out, but now I'm back!)

ps2: Yeah, like I was saying ... what about those zones. Different zones for different comfort levels. Male zones. Female zones. Co-ed zones. Obese zones or O-zones. All Skin and Bone zones. Tall zones; short zones; bring-your-pets-on-a-leash zones.

ps3: Perhaps not.

ps4: Just a thought it was, that's all ... hey, put down that shotgun ...

My 8 year old son has a strict no shoe's policy! As I dropped him off to school this morning he jumped out bare foot, cracking up laughing that I hadn't noticed - little sneak. I do love walking outside bare-foot too, it makes me feel connected.

[bluestflame]

it's the bits that don't get regular exposure to the suns rays that have health issues , think about it , the places where the clothing is the last to come off

For years I have worn shoe inserts because of my high arches. I would be in terrible pain if I didn't wear them. I learned about barefoot running at the beginning of this year. I've been running barefoot/minimalist for 8 months now. No shinsplints or any other injures. I loved running in high school, and now I love it even more. This summer I wore huarache sandals (ordered a kit online and made them myself) running, walking, everywhere. My foot and leg muscles are much stronger. With winter coming I got to think about something else. I think I'm going to modify some wool socks so I can wear the sandals.

This guy gives a great interview on barefooting:
