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

I had always a aversion to shoes. Whenever I had the opportunity to be barefoot I did it. I have just love the feeling of freedom on my feet and the nice feel of the ground, of grass, earth and mud under my soles. 😊

As young teenager I began to go barefoot with ever increased regularity outside. I had mostly still shoes with me but I took off them whenever I could. I wore never socks, only old scruffy sneakers or slipper who I could simply slide out of them.

Then with 14-15 I went almost completely without shoes to outside all summer. I liked to see how my feet got more and more dirty and was really proud of my tough black soles. It was for me a lifestyle and a important part of my identity. I feel me simply better and more myself. And my bare filthy feet was also a statement for this lifestyle.

And now I'm still a true barefooter - always and everywhere!
