What do you think about it?

I go barefoot all the time. I think it's great. Shoes are too much of a hassle. I even wear flip flops in the snow...what's the point in wearing regular shoes all the time? Unless I'm going somewhere special I don't bother.

I do, I haven't worn shoes for well over ten years and I don't intend to wear footwear ever again. It's so much more comfortable and, contrary to popular myth, it's far more healthy too.
It's not dangerous; feet get very tough very quickly. I walk and often even run in places with lots of litter and I get a tiny splinter maybe once a year, I've NEVER cut my feet in all those years. In the unlikely case it does happen, there's been a vaccine against tetanus around since the 1920's which I would keep up to date anyhow; there are other ways to catch it than from stepping on something while barefoot, I like gardening and being around pets too.
It's unlikely to catch any disease from going barefoot; our skin is made to keep pathogens out and I neither lick my feet nor put them up on the dinner table. Nor do I get colds; I make sure to keep the rest of my body warm and I go barefoot without trouble even in the snow. In fact, I'm much healthier now; I used to be sickly from early fall until late spring, coughing and sneezing no matter what I tried, but these past ten years I've called in sick once (for two days, and not even in winter).
Athlete's foot needs a shoe to grow, and 'foot odor' needs a shoe too, bare feet that have been bare don't smell bad.
Visually, it's sad there are so many people who dislike feet, but in flipflops you still see 99% of the foot! What difference does a little strap make for those who dislike the sight of bare feet? While for me as the barefooter, a flipflop makes a *big* difference. Walking on even the thinnest sole to me is like wearing dark glasses at an art show or ear plugs at a concert.

Yes a few of my friend's siblings do but she doesn't all the time. But there are a lot of people around here who are always wearing flip flops and most of the time they carry them in their hands.
I am aiming to always go barefoot one day.

Not always, do like to be barefoot around the house. Must protect my feet from harm and the cold. Like only comfortable shoes.

Yup, ME...
I love walking around my house barefoot. I hate wearing shoes in my house, but of course I wud when i'm going on in public or on the streets. Otherwise, I love letting my feet free.

In the comfort of their homes & property, or on the public streets?
I'm guilty of the first offense only, but I wear footwear when I'm out and about in the public streets. (gotta protect my tooties, oh yes)
For the public offenders--what-ever sinks your boat!

I do as often as I can. LOL
Usually, it's around the house.....I can't stand to be in shoes, if I don't have to.
I call it 'foot freedom'
