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?

Barefoot was normal when I was growing up for all my family.It still is.Both my mom and myself have always drove barefoot too.At school I would wear shorts with my feet bare.
One time I accidentally walked through broken glass barefoot and didn't even realise.My friend told me I had just done it.I just brushed off my soles and kept walking.The advantage of having thick hard super tough soles.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Did the teachers or administrators ever push back against you going barefoot at school?

@southerncrossfire44 Never.We were supposed to wear skirts knee length too.Yet us girls wore mini skirts no issues.I ran track and cross country barefoot at school.Again no objections.

@tallpowerhouseblonde That's impressive. I'm glad you were able to live the way you wanted.
