Welcome!

“Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking and can symbolise a way of living — being authentic, vulnerable, sensitive to our surroundings. It's the feeling of enjoying warm sand beneath our toes, or carefully making our way over sharp rocks in the darkness. It's a way of living that has the lightest impact, removing the barrier between us and nature.”

— Adele Coombs, “Barefoot Dreaming”

Who We Are

We are a group of people who love going barefoot pretty much everywhere all the time (not just around the house or at the beach) as a lifestyle choice, including out and about on streets, in stores, in the country, when hiking or running, and just about every other place where most other people are probably wearing shoes.

We enjoy walking barefoot as nature intended, taking delight in feeling the many textures the world has to offer. We like having tough soles and recognize that it's only natural for our feet to occasionally get dirty. We also hate wearing shoes and, if we had our way, would never wear them again. Shoes are unnecessary ballast.

Have you ever taken off your shoes and walked barefoot through soft grass or on a sandy beach? We bet you have. Why did you do it? Because it feels good! We've just extended that to everyday life. And that feels even better!
