I Go Go Outside Barefoot
In my childhood in the 1970s, it was no longer self-evident that children grew up barefoot, even in a village. So some of my friends almost always wore shoes, others were barefoot only in summer.
I was one of the few boys who were barefoot from the first warm days in spring to the first frost in autumn.
When playing, the other children didn't pay any attention to bare feet. No one thought of leaving out stubble fields when playing catch.
When my friend asked, "Are we going to the forest for berry picking?", he didn't think about my bare feet, which had to go on gravel three or four miles.
It was an agreement without words that the barefoot children did everything just like those wearing shoes, without any exception. That was a wonderful exercise for my feet. The soles protected themselves by a firm, but elastic skin, like solid leather.
This skin makes it possible to walk barefoot on almost any surface, without stopping the wonderful impressions and feelings when walking barefoot.
Since my childhood I have these tough soles, and I'm realy proud of it.
