No more smelly feet, it's comfortable, it's far more healthy so I don't get colds all winter long anymore, it's far more interesting to feel the ground underneath, no need to spend money on shoes... oh, you wanted me to pick just one? Bugger!

The spirit of barefooting is, or at least once was, alive and well in all of us. Do you remember how good it felt to go barefoot when you were a child? Even now, as adults, do we still have that spirit? When we can’t wait to get home and relax after a hard day, does this mean kicking off our shoes in order to do so? Or, if we are planning a holiday or vacation, do we factor in the proximity of sandy beaches, grassy fields, or a natural trail well-suited for bare feet? Can any of us truly imagine being fully comfortable while wearing shoes? Yet how often do we choose the barefoot spirit? How often can we? The truth is we all have the freedom to go barefoot whenever and wherever we want. Most of us, however, just don’t realize it. If we knew it was OK to forget about shoes when it was time for walking the dog, getting the mail, or even while out shopping, how many of us would choose to go barefoot? Why render our feet deaf and blind if we don’t need to? Imagine having to wear gloves or ear plugs every time you left the house. Think of all the wonderful sensory input you would miss. Now imagine expanding avenues of sensory input. Imagine being able to feel the wide variety of interesting textures and pleasant surfaces beneath your own two feet as you go about your daily business. You can.
“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

LOL @ spacemonkey
I personally can't go completely barefooted. I wish I could. I have tender feet and I have to at least have some little thin flip-flops on. :(

Freedom. Dont have to take the time to look for matching shoes before running out the door. Grass feels great! Freedom.

Feeling free. Dipping your toes in the water, feeling the cool grass on your foot, mixing sand between your toes, the tickle of an uninvited bug.~

Let's see, burning my feet on the sidewalk...no, that's not it. Ah, pulling out a sticker when walking thru the yard...nope, not that one either...being bitten by a misquito, or stung by an ant?...nahhh...The best thing about going barefoot, is making it back to my shoes alive...(May as well call this Texan a tenderfoot, and rack me up another thumbs down, please.Thank you)-LOL,Rogue

The refreshing feel of fresh warm dog doo between your toes?
Whoops! That's the worst thing.
Best thing would be cool grass on a hot summer day.
