My girlfriend does that all the time when she's barefoot at home. I used to think she was weird, but she told me that a lot of other girls do that too. I went to a party at someone's house yesterday, and by golly, what my girlfriend said was true!
It's only true for bare feet though. Everyone I know walks normally in shoes.
But why is that so? Is it some natural reflex, some "girls' thing", or something to do with high heels?

They don't want to get their feet dirty (especially if the floor is a little nasty lookin.)
That's my guess.
If you're talkin about walkin on a nice plush carpet, I dunno what their problem is.

Sometimes I walk on tiptoe when I'm barefoot because otherwise my heels thud into the floor and make a racket!
Most of the time I just walk normally though, but people often complain that I sound like a heard of elephanits.
I'm not fat or even heavy, it's just the way I distribute my weight or something.
When walking on tiptoes it forces me to think about how I walk rather than just thumping along!

That...is very weird! I don't walk on my tiptoes barefoot(and I'm barefoot a lot at home) unless there's water or something on the floor and I'm trying to get around it. Then I clean the floor!

I don't. Except when I'm acting like a cat or a wolf or when I'm in the basement where there's an ucky liquid covering the floor.

No, I don't walk on my tiptoes when I'm barefoot, and I haven't noticed any of my friends that do it either...

You know I do it too and I dont know why. They used to say that people who had flat feet do it. But my feet arent flat. Maybe we like to feel taller?

Yeah, I do. I do it on my driveway, mostly, because the gravel hurts my feet. If it's a lawn or something, I don't do it as much.

Its because we dont want our entire foot to touch the gritty floor. Atleast thats why i do it.
