“Hookwoorms, get in my feet please!”
Also all the tire dust that is releasing chemicals onto the skin.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Humans suck at remembering history when they can’t see the consequences anymore.
unless you’re in a place where human shit flows freely, that is not much of a concern. stores are usually not such places.
City streets on the other hand
Canine worm can spread to humans and can cause blindness
There is an actual belief out there that your feet get some sort of power by connecting to mother nature barefoot. It’s insane woo nonsense, but that meme lifehack literally would be something they might do, lol
The linoleum floor of a supermarket is a godless abomination, further from mother nature than any other surface
Nothing quite like a spiritual connection with concrete
ugh, i hate that woo-woo “grounding” bullshit. gives the rest of the barefooters a bad name. honestly there’s so many good reasons to go unshod without bringing in magical nonsense.
Connecting to some basic ass tile work.
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.?
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?
Not a barefoot person but I’ve heard it claimed that its better for your feet. Seems off to me but its not like we evolved shoes so what do I know?
It’s better for your feet in soft soil & grass. Our feet evolved to walk on soil, high milage walking on concrete will damage your feet.
If you wear mis-fitting shoes your feet will also get damaged.
I just like the way it feels. Though because of all the risks, I wouldn’t do it except at home or similar environments.
That’s kind of disgusting.
Not kind of! Lol
It’s just seasoning.
Based.
Based on my understanding of the state of the ground in cities, that is absolutely disgusting.
Toph-core
I like going outside barefoot but this is just disgusting.
Combine the drawbacks of wearing shoes with the drawbacks of going barefoot.
reverse sandals
Sladnas
Damn I coulda saved money on getting my soles redone
Soles redone: $IDK, ask the local Faeries whilst the cobbler naps.
Barefoot: $Priceless!
Just paint your foot??
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.
