The Barefoot FAQ

Q1: Why walk barefoot?

The simplest of answers: Because it feels good!

Having your feet free of confining, hot, sweaty shoes, open to the air and sunshine, able to wiggle your toes, able to feel the various textures and temperatures of surfaces as you walk, is wonderful! It is one life's most simple pleasures and is part of what it means to be human.

It's completely natural to walk barefoot. In fact, it is quite healthy and good for your feet to do so. (See Q8.)

Additionally, there's something to be said for the "barefoot aesthetic": bare feet on a person just plain look nice!
