Growing up, how did your parents/family feel about bare feet? Was going barefoot normal in your family, or was it frowned upon? Did you feel the same as your family regarding bare feet, or did you do your own thing? Have you changed your outlook on going barefoot as an adult?

One time I dropped a cinder block corner first on my right big toe - barefoot. That was a BIG HURT lemme tellya. On another barefoot occasion I stepped on an upright nail sticking out of a 2x4. The sensation of a nail scrunching through flesh and muscle is a hard memory to erase!

But - being a kid means running around barefoot. Doesn't it?
