3. Supposedly makes you smarter
4. Makes you happier
5. Tougher feet

A number of reasons. There are so many you wouldnt count them all

Living in Africa for a few years when I was a child.Being barefooted was pretty normal and felt great.Then back home in England I kept that going.I was learning martial arts from aged 10 too which done barefooted.At senior school there was no school uniform required for us girls so in summer I regularly just went to school wearing short shorts and left my feet bare and loved it.Since the first week of April 2018 I have been 100% bare feet at all times.

My ex wife was a barefoot girl and she used to bug me a lot about always wearing shoes. I finally caved and slowly started ditching shoes more and more

I've just always been barefoot, even as a little girl I simply preferred being barefoot. My mum said I hated it when she took me shoe shopping saying one time I refused to have my feet measured, kicked the store clerk and ran out the shop!

I was just already always a child of nature and preferred it to feel the world with all my senses. Also with my bare feet. Shoes and socks I felt already all along as constrictive. So I went barefoot whenever I could. As teenager I began to question a lot of social norms and rebelled completely against the wearing of shoes and socks. I became a convinced barefooter and remained it until today!

Little by little, I started to take my shoes and socks off in school and in the library. Began as a teenager to ride my bike around the neighborhood barefoot and ever since then, barefooting has become a part of my life. 👣👣

Just decided I'd had enough one day, and took 'em off. Happiest day of my life!

Being out in the country!
