I went to class barefoot today!

People got so used to me barefoot that on the rare occasion I have shoes they comment not used to seeing you in shoes.

 

Its too late for that class by my favorite excuse has always been that I recently stepped in the worse pile of dog poo ever and had to throw my shoes out no way was I even taking them in the car or attempting to clean them. What was that dog eating ?? So sorry, I don't have shoes to wear right now.

Last place I used that one was some vitamin store, wasn't even shopping for anything just waiting on a friend who was returning something in a different store and wanted to look around. Lady had an attitude, didn't smile so I just left anyway.

On this board also is a thread about a doctors note to go barefoot. Found it Doctor's Excuse for Going Barefoot

I have a very mild case of eczema and its true wearing shoes, friction - pressure on the arch can cause it to re appear. That one spot on the arch will get itchy with it, then it could be weeks before it goes into remission. I could try that dr note with a dermatologist if I had too.

 

yeah, i've heard "you actually own shoes?" way more times than any of those disparaging comments that most barefooters imagine people are making.

 

Most new barefooters imagine that. I did at first. I am pretty convinced when most people see me standing barefoot in front of the beer cooler in Seven Eleven on the cool floor or they see us anyplace they think to themselves that's looks fun wish I could do that and they can but they won't. I think so, maybe some day I will learn to read minds. Like I have also said before there is a reason people are barefoot in so many TV ads.

I give in and wear flip flops in the supermarket for the sake of that very small minority of people that really bug out about it.
