Give up your hiking boots and hike barefoot!

I like my boots, but I will take them off if it enhances the walk. The rivers near where I live are shallow enough to walk along the beds in the summer. I can take off my boots and socks and get a new perspective on old surroundings 🙂

Why not just hike bare?

I like going barefoot on the beach even on the rocks ( the rocky coast of Maine) most of our beaches are rocky but I’m not hiking on many trails around here barefoot. A few years ago maybe but now the tic problem and Lyme has me thinking more.

I enjoy climbing hills barefoot. The first time I did it was coming home from vacation. The experience was fun and exhilarating!!! 😁👣

Hiking boots are not merely uncomfortable, they cripple your feet. Feel the earth the way it was meant to be felt!

Couldn't agree more! Barefoot is the way to be. Barefoot-all-over is even better! 👣

When I was in my late teens being barefoot was sort of a thing among my contemporaries. I got to the point where I could crush out lit cigarettes with my bare feet. Today it hurts to walk on my paved driveway.

And then wish that you had ignored all the Instacrap about 'grounding' and put them in your rucksack anyway.

Sharp stones, stinging nettle, brambles, snakes 😬

Boots are boring, barefoot is wayyyyy better!
