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?

I was brought up by a grandmother who went with the rule that boys went barefoot, but girls needed shoes.
My boyfriend's mother must have felt the same way, as she brought him up barefoot, but was never barefoot herself.
That's still how we are today: He goes barefoot. I wear shoes.

@onewithshoes Sounds like you could have answered two ways: encouraged for boys, discouraged for girls.

@onewithshoes I had never heard of this rule before SW.

@BarefootedBoy I don't know if it's widespread, but onewithshoes is definitely a firm believer in this rule.
