Barefoot girls in public?

Question

Is going barefoot a new trend ? This summer me and some of my girlfriends went to Cedar Point Amusement Park. While I was there, I probably saw 20 to 25 teen and young adult girls maybe 15 to 22 or so,walking around barefoot without any shoes. Most of them was well dressed it looked with desinger clothe. There was one girl in particular,possibly 15 or 16 walking barefoot in front of me and my girlfriends, her feet was extremely dirty, so i guess she had been barefoot for a while. She was with two adults and a boy .I heard here say mom,and the woman she was with turned around. I couldn't believe her mom was letting her walk around barefoot! is this the in thing for girls? Is it just me,or has anyone else noticed this?

Answer 3

As long as they are able to handle the heat when walking longer distances or waiting in long lines during hot summer weather causing burning hot pavement, and as long as the park doesn't give them any problems walking around or getting on rides, trend or not it's their choice to go barefoot. Chances are good if a girl has been barefoot for long enough that her soles are that dirty, then also she knows about the risks and how to avoid them.

Answer 4

There's nothing wrong with walking around barefoot - I find it very comfortable and soothing on a hot summers day. (I'm a guy). It is also better for your feet than wearing closed shoes. I usually wear flip-flops in the summer but I don't like the way they flip and flop so usually take them off !
I don't have a foot fetish, but I do find a girl walking in bare feet very attractive. It proves that she has confidence and doesn't care what others think. It isn't dangerous - they are only feet and the dirt washes off. I personally hope this is the in thing....

Answer 5

Are you braless and barefootless two working together in the same amusement park? You both should be working instead of girl watching. There's nothing wrong with walking barefoot if thats their thing and neither is going around bra less. It's a free country.

Answer 6

Well, the previous posts show how little most people about the truth. In general, being barefoot promotes healthy development of musculature in the feet and legs, while excessive reliance on shoes tends to promote atrophy and weakness in those same muscles. This suggests that overdependency on shoes can have serious consequences. A study published in the September 2006 issue of Arthritis and Rheumatism found that “modern shoes may exacerbate the abnormal mechanics of lower-extremity osteoarthritis.” Researchers concluded that maybe it was time to re-evaluate our daily walking programs, presumably to include time for walking barefoot. In many parts of the world, reflexology paths and “barefoot parks” offer feet a chance to experience varieties of textured surfaces. In addition to biomechanical advantages of regular barefoot exercising, many holistic health practitioners believe the tactile stimulation underfoot while walking barefoot on natural surfaces has positive effects on body, mind and spirit. Walking barefoot is also a good way to avoid athlete’s foot. Contrary to a widely believed myth, it is not the sole-to-ground contact that presents a risk so much as it is feet going back into the moist, dark, warm environment found inside shoes. Closed-toe shoes especially are ideal incubators for fungi and bacteria to live and breed. Allowing the feet to “breathe” also prevents foot odor. Dr. Lynn Staheli, who directed the orthopedics division at the Children's Hospital in Seattle for 15 years, documented that children raised in parts of the world where shoes are rarely worn had better flexibility, mobility, and strength, which resulted in fewer foot-related problems and injuries. In the 1960 classic “Take Off Your Shoes and Walk,” chiropodist Simon Wikler notes that children who go barefoot regularly develop stronger, healthier, and more functional feet than children who are generally shod. (He notes that a “constantly shoe-wearing tenderfoot” is rarely able to comprehend the innate capability of the human foot.) The following site covers such topics as when and when not to let children go barefoot, what doctors think, and parental testimonials. It also features excerpts from “Take Off Your Shoes and Walk.” Even various shoe manufactures recognize the benefits of nature’s original design. Some have even developed designs that attempt to simulate being barefoot to some extent. Of course, anyone who desires to get that barefoot feeling, can simply save their money and just go barefoot. Nike Free: Nike researchers developed a training shoe that simulates barefoot running. The Nike Free was born as a result of researchers watching the Stanford track and field team practice and perform training exercises barefoot. Swiss Masai Barefoot Technology: This shoe style provides less support and stabilization, requiring the foot muscles to work during the act of walking. As a result, the feet become stronger, more developed, and less prone to aches and pains. Newton Running: This new shoe’s active membrane retracts as the foot rolls onto its toes requiring the runner to land on the forefoot or midsole as opposed to heel-first landings. A technique widely used by barefoot runners. Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking and can symbolize a way of living-being authentic, vulnerable, sensitive to our surroundings. It’s the feeling of enjoying warm sand beneath out toes, or carefully making our way over sharp rocks in the darkness. It’s a way of living that has the lightest impact, removing the barrier between us and nature.” From the book “Barefoot Dreaming” by Adele Coombs

Answer 9

(-: This seems like a strange question coming from someone whose user name is "braless Kelly."

The fact is, it feels really good to go barefoot -- especially in the grass. Especially if your shoes hurt.

But, as others have pointed out, there are a lot of dangers -- you can pick up worms, fungus and slivers of glass and wood. It also promotes calluses. There's a reason why we started wearing shoes -- it's just better for our feet.

But you know, that's up to them. You do what you have to do.
