For all you barefooters out there. What was your story about how you became a barefooter?

BTW, I鈥檓 so glad to have all of you on the barefoot side! 馃榿 Shoes are gross! 馃槤, and socks are even worse 馃槴.

I have shitty ankles from repeated injuries. I roll my ankles and they slip out why less barefoot or in high work boots. So if I ain't wearing sturdy boots, barefoot it is.

@MethDozer Going barefoot is the best way to prevent foot and leg injuries. Our feet were made to walk bare. There are several other health benefits on going barefoot.

@BarefootLeilani Yeah, but it still doesn't replace a good pair of sturdy work boots or hiking boots. Time and place for each.

I personally hate shoes all together, but if you wanna wear them, that鈥檚 totally fine, I respect that. (Most people do anyway) But I love to hike and do outdoor work barefoot. That seems intimidating for people that aren鈥檛 used to going barefoot, because you have to walk on some rough and sharp surfaces, but if you go barefoot often for long periods of time your feet will get tougher. Your soles will build muscle and get callused so your feet can take the rigors and dangers of those rough sharp surfaces. It鈥檒l almost be like wearing shoes except you can feel the surfaces. It feels so good if your feet are used to it 馃槍

@BarefootLeilani During the spring and summertime one of my favourite activities is a cool morning barefoot walk around the forest. There鈥檚 so much going on whether it鈥檚 walking through the stream, rough stones or the carpet of pine needles it鈥檚 amazing 馃榾
