Do you regularly walk around barefoot on hard surfaces like gravel,asphalt,concrete?

Answer 1

most of the time

Answer 2

Yes, all the time. I like gravel better than grass, it's more interesting than soft surfaces. Like a foot massage!

And contrary to what some people think, there's nothing wrong with walking or even running barefoot on hard surfaces. See "Survey in China and India of Feet That Have Never Worn Shoes," The Journal of the National Association of Chiropodists, 49, 1949, pp. 26-30:
One hundred and eighteen of those interviewed were rickshaw coolies. Because these men spend very long hours each day on cobblestone or other hard roads pulling their passengers at a run it was of particular interest to survey them. If anything, their feet were more perfect than the others. All of them, however, gave a history of much pain and swelling of the foot and ankle during the first few days of work as a rickshaw puller. But after either a rest of two days or a week's more work on their feet, the pain and swelling passed away and never returned again. There is no occupation more strenuous for the feet than trotting a rickshaw on hard pavement for many hours each day yet these men do it without pain or pathology.

Answer 3

It's all I choose to walk on. I dislike gravel the least not because of the poking into the feet that is good for getting used to rougher surfaces, but because the rocks can move and make the walk a bit slippery. Concrete is alright but doesn't have much of a scuffing risk when not taking too large of a step, and doesn't get hot enough to have challenging heat when walking until very close to 100 degrees F air temperature. Asphalt is my favorite--pressed gravel asphalt for getting used to hot and rough, and especially blacktop for getting used to heat much hotter--and I welcome the very challenging burning hot heat even starting just around 90 degrees F. If the soles don't feel burned, then it wasn't hot enough.I'll regularly burn my soles red, stinging, feeling like a pulse is in the soles, and sometimes the soles will feel hot overnight--and the heat tolerance is increased that much more. I do try to avoid blisters UNLESS I am trying to get past a heat tolerance limit that "needs" blisters to get past it, and in that case I make sure to go home and treat the blisters as quickly as possible.
