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’s 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’t 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’ll almost be like wearing shoes except you can feel the surfaces. It feels so good if your feet are used to it 😌

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