Totally!! Glad those closed toe shoes are saving us all! /s just in case
also like, yes i'm sure our soles have evolved to be great absorbtion pads, not like we'd ever step on bad things in the wild

Back in my hippie days, we would do a little trick. You get some hemp. Few beads. Whatever. Tie it around your big toe then loop it around your ankle. So it looks like you are wearing flip flops at a glance.
Did it all the time.
As a more informed person. I do not really recommend walking barefoot anywhere except a park or your own space. And beaches.
Cause dogs literally pee on every surface that exists in a city.
And also hepatitis.
Glass. Other sharp things.
Even if you have thick soles, they can take out gashes of it.
And the sidewalk is hella hot in the summer.
Go barefoot at your own risk. But know the risks. Mkay.?
i tried to do it for a summer as a kid in a rural area and my feet got very gross indeed and I had a lot of painful experiences. but I feel that's the only way to do it safely, to be a kid in a small safe rural place where there is like grass to walk on

Why stop at the feet?

Linoleum floor in a supermarket? Haven’t seen that in the US nor Mexico.
I’ve seen it in local grocery stores in really small towns. Never a supermarket
-
The thing about this I don’t understand is why. Is it supposed to be to exist in as much of a natural state as possible?
I just like the way it feels. Though because of all the risks, I wouldn't do it except at home or similar environments.

Combine the drawbacks of wearing shoes with the drawbacks of going barefoot.

Since when is it illegal? Nobody has ever raised any objection, let alone tried to stop me going dogs out to the shops.
If the store has a rule for it, you would be trespassing without shoes.
-
Asphalt is hot but as long as you keep moving, and you've built up some callouses, it's not that bad. I always kept to the grass on the side when I could.
Depends on where you live. In my city, sometimes shoes aren't even enough.

Its funny you say this because I once went in a Ross with my wife and someone had taken a monster shit in one of the aisles. It was absolutely horrific. I think about it every time she wants to go to Ross now. I don't think I've gone in one with her since.
Ross is the answer to someone asking, "what if JCPenney but in a demilitarized zone?"
-
That's kind of disgusting.
It's just seasoning.

This looks gross, but im also so confused at the amount of people saying walking barefoot is dangerous and gross. Walking barefoot is not to bad in my city its pretty clean and there is lots of grass.

...washing my feet in the sink is trivial; drying them well-enough not to track around slightly-damp feet afterward is a hassle...
have you considered a hand towel? they work equally well with feet.

Never heard of hookworms, i dont think we have them.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]...those are what i use, but whereas i can avoid touching anything with my hands until using a towel and any residual dampness air-dries between my fingers and skin, hopping across the bathroom to a towel one foot at a time is awkward and best and my feet are pretty much going on the ground immediately after mostly-drying them...

Yeah, using OP's picture it cut like this, so it was likely a glass cup or bottle that someone has cracked or just how my foot managed to bend when stepping. I just walked back, poor rubbing alcohol on it, put 2 things of super glue in it and kept drinking. What else are you supposed to do in college
haha good ol super glue... Just as a friendly tip: Use something like New-Skin or VetBond instead of superglue. Superglue uses toxic solvents in large percentages, but New-Skin/etc use safer alternatives and also have additives that make the cured result a bit more flexible.
Soo much better than bandaids on most scrapes/etc, although on places that still flex a ton like fingers or in/around joints, salve+bandaid can still be better.
