because going barefoot is necessarily sensual, people oppose it because, even if they don't share the practice, they know how it feels or likely feels (barefoot at home) and angrily reject it (jealousy) because it links into all-body sex feelings, which NO ADULT wants to admit in public. Then there's all that acculturated nonsense like dirt, disease, poverty, insanity, nonconformity. Barefoot People are really ALIENS FROM SPACE!
