So imagine you are at the shopping centre (mall) and you spot a barefoot mummy with her daughter and two sons in tow all barefoot and carefree, like they don’t even seem to know that are barefoot. What’s your reaction?
@SandraB I never rode the train before, but it sounds easy to relax and walk barefoot in based on your experience. I do know a full-time barefooter who sometimes wear flip-flops when entering the plane, but barefoot as soon as she is on it despite it's legal to be barefoot.
@SandraB I didn’t quite understand your last sentence, but yes the surface on them feels so good, but then again, I could say that about any surface you could walk barefoot on. My feet are tough enough to walk on or in anything.
Either way, they are impressive to be barefoot no matter what.

I don’t react at all. I think going barefoot is a beautiful thing and let me tell you something...
I have so much respect for those who have the courage and freedom to go barefoot. It’s quite scary the idea of walking anywhere with no protection on the feet, so I have much respect for anyone that’s loves barefooting, much respect.
And I feel slightly jealous too that’s they get to feel all the wonderful sensations that thE world has to offer to their feet.
@SW-User I have the courage and freedom to go barefoot 247! I hate shoes so much, and socks are even worse! I love going barefoot more than anything 👣👣👣👣👣
I show my great respect to the mother for being barefoot in public so naturaly. I agree with her that it's best for their daughter and their sons to walk barefoot everywhere, even in the city, and I tell her that I do the same since my childhood. I am barefoot all year round.
My reaction is she’s very irresponsible considering all the possible crap they could step on and that I should probably report her for being neglectful.
@SandraB Because they could step on any number of things which could cause them to require medical attention. You’re not walking on some pure sand beach lady, you’re walking where all sorts of crap is on the ground.
@LyricalOne It’s hard to describe but when walking barefoot you just instinctively become more aware of where you step. In my years I’ve had nil accidents
@SandraB I have absolutely nothing against walking barefoot. But like with anything else, common sense is necessary. Like with walking through a mall with people who’ve been doing who knows what and stepping who knows where.
I'm not sure I would have one it myself, but I think I'd say good for them. It's a sight I've been fairly used to seeing during this sunny summer and beyond in the UK. I've seen children going home from school barefoot on more than one occasion this year.
If I was also barefoot at that mall and I spotted that barefoot family, I would casually walk by and say hi to them. It's amazing the positive reaction you get when you see other people besides yourself barefoot.
