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!!! 😁👣

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

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

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.

Sharp stones, stinging nettle, brambles, snakes 😬

Boots are boring, barefoot is wayyyyy better!

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