oh it's been a while since i've been in the barefoot forums! i just joined hipforums again after a long time away. i'm so glad it's summer. i had my shoes off as soon as it got even a little warm. aside from the weird looks, etc. i haven't had a problem wandering around the city without shoes. i have a doctor's note, a note from the local person in charge of health law and the note from the state that the barefoot society guys have saying it isn't illegal, but i'm not really worried. most people just don't seem to care. places that have a "no shoes no service" sign i just choose not to go into. if i had to, i would, and make a scene, but i don't mind avoiding them. so far i have only seen one gas station and one grocery store with those rules. any how! here's a great pic of my bare feet. it's linked to my dA site so you can see the bigger one there if you want.
