does anyone like to go barefoot in public? eg shops cinema the street?

Answer 1

I've always hated wearing shoes - couldn't wait to get home and take them off to get comfortable and relax. I believed the many myths about it being against the law or health deptartment rules to go places or drive barefoot. Last year I started researching these myths and found them to be totally without merit. I also discovered many health benefits associated with being barefoot. As a result I now know that I can be barefoot where ever and whenever I want. I have hardly worn shoes in the last year. I treat them like gloves. I only put them on when they're absolutly necessary. I love the feeling and freedom of barefooting and my feet have never felt better.

Answer 2

All the time, I haven't worn shoes for ten years nor do I plan to ever wear them again, anywhere.

Loads of Americans believe bare feet are gross and/or dangerous because so many stores post these signs 'Shoes required by the Health Department' but that isn't even true (see source). The Health Departments in the US have NO rules for customers' footwear, regardless of whether food is served or not. Nor do insurance companies require or even recommend it. Bacteria don't jump onto products. For the barefooter him- or herself, our skin was made to keep pathogens out and unless you have a cut, it does that job quite well, even in places like restrooms. Nor is glass a great risk; I never divert my step even if I see broken glass on the ground, frequently run full speed at train stations and I get a tiny splinter *maybe* once a year. Never had a cut.

Only in the US with all those no shoes, no shirts no service signs do so many people believe barefooting is unhealthy; here in Western Europe, such signs are rare and people are not grossed out by bare feet either.

Answer 3

In the summer I go barefoot as much as possible, pretty much everywhere. Initially when I was in my early twenties I was quite apprehensive about it and worried about possible diseases etc. I've been doing so for about 15 years now and nothing horrible has ever happened to my feet, in fact a lot of my friends comment on how nice and tanned my feet are and how strong and healthy they look. I've developed a sense of looking out for hazards, I see glass all the time, I just don't step in it! As far as the dirt goes, I don't mind as long as it stays on the bottom of my feet, when I get home I just walk across my lawn where it is wet from a sprinkler and they come pretty clean. I like the idea and feeling of not wearing shoes, it's kind of like if we were to wear gloves all the time, you would be deniing yourself of a whole sense of touch. So if you like to be barefoot then go barefoot!

I don't go barefoot in like stores or the mall,but sometimes I will go barefoot in the summer when I walk my dog in my neighborhood. I went to a renaissance fair this past summer with some of my girlfriends.My shoes was killing me, so I decided to go barefoot. At first I was a little embarrassed, but there was a lot of other girls going barefoot too.

Answer 5

I don't really like going barefoot in public, except for at hotels.

Answer 6

I like to go barefoot, but when and where it's appropriate. do you get thrown out of shops for being barefoot?

Answer 7

At home I am usually barefoot, but in public it's just not very sanitary or safe. You might step on something and get injured. Stock up on flip flops, those are pretty close to being barefoot.

Answer 8

no way you can step on too many gross things. I only go barefoot around the house.
