Did you or do you enjoy your summers completely barefoot? As a lad come the school holidays also came the time i simply stopped wearing anything on my feet and spent all summer long barefoot. Id even go on our caravaning holiday without even taking any footwear with me. Played put on the streets, walked around tiwn and went everywhere barefoot.
Now as an adult i unfortunately have to work so cannot be barefoot all summer long but i am barefoot everytime I'm not in work.

Oddly enough, not as much as a young kid. I did some, but not everywhere all the time. Once I got to my pre-teen and teen years, I started going barefoot more and more. Once I could get out on my own, bike first, and then driving, I went barefoot everywhere.
My true barefoot summers came starting in high school when I worked as a swim instructor and lifeguard. I wore little more than a speedo all summer long so going barefoot became part of the "uniform". In the 70's going barefoot everywhere was still very common. Believe it or not, that often included a day at Six Flags! Talk about black feet by the end of the day! LOL
It has continued and I still go barefoot just about everywhere. I work (mostly) out of my home office, so I can be barefoot (and usually nude) as much as I want. I go to the store and most other businesses barefoot whenever the weather is warm. If I just can't be barefoot, it's flip-flops and for work away from the house, Vibram Five Fingers.
I had to chuckle a little about your picture. The barefoot boy wearing a MacDonnalds shirt. Many of their stores STILL have the "no bare feet" signs.....which I ignore. 👣
