Others barefoot in public-2

Yeah, thanks for the warning. I'll wear shoes from now on.

 

Yeh basically I was thinkin the same thing. I never knew about India and I never knew that even outside of India you could get dirty feet if you didn't wear shoes. I'm so glad I now know. I'd really hate to think people were seeing my dirty soles and toes. What would they think?

 

Quite a bit of this post is simply not true, at least not for the habitual barefooter.

Are public works in India really that bad that hookworm is still a problem? It's not really a problem in the US.

 

On my way home from work tonight, I spotted an older (late 50s/early 60s) man walking on the sidewalk and he was barefoot. From a distance, I saw that his soles were black, so he must be a regular barefooter. :2thumbsup:

 

Young woman in the grocery store. She carried sandals but looked like she was testing herself.

 

I guess SheWhoListensToTheWind is also SheWhoBreaksTheWind

And God said, "Thou dost smelt it, dealt it"

 

she is a pointless troll. we have to suffer as usual. idiots seem to feel the need to make sure people notice they are idiots.

 

I was at a parade on Saturday, saw a high school boy riding a scooter bf. He was in normal clothes t shirt and shorts. No shoes, no bag, and was speeding down the street. His soles were relatively clean. I caught up with him later when he was stopped to watch the parade, he had a nice tan on his legs that evenly matched his feet. No sandal or sock tan line. You know what that means..

 

That he thought you were a little creepy?

 

Is it really that unusual for you guys to see people barefoot? Whats the big deal?

I see people barefoot everyday. Stores, school, parks etc..

 

blood flukes enter between the skin and toe nail
then eventually infect heart and brain, been 2 yrs in amazon, but anywhere south of 32* lat can have then in still pools swamps, puddles, then southern states latin America Africa have loads of parasites from feces and worms in water, swimming they can even enter through the eye sockets.

I got pinworms from taking showers in amazon.

still 37 years barefoot.

Yeah I agree, but I just put that down to fact that I've always lived near the coast...people on holidays, surfers and a relaxed atmosphere.
I recently went to Birmingham and although I had no problems I did get some people look at me like I was a crazy-nut-job!

 

My wife joined me shopping barefoot at a local street market.

 

This past Friday morning when I was almost at my workplace, there was a guy (looked to be in his early 60s) walking through the parking lot dressed in a long-sleeve sweater and jeans and he was barefoot. He didn't look like a homeless person, though. He was neatly groomed and taking a walk.

 

Tis Mid Spring Here In Horsetralia, Bare Feet Every Where...:sunny:



Cheers Glen.

 

Bare feet are common here, but this was an outstanding encounter

I was in the line at the supermarket and next in the line was a girl, mid 20s with her young daughter and both were in bare feet. The little girl was staring at me, I thought because I was shirtless as well as barefoot.
The mother smiles and said to me "She is fascinated by your crutches". I asked if she hed never seen them before "Oh yes, I'm on them so often I have my own pair. Stuffed ankles" she lifted one bare foot off the ground and flexed her ankle and toes. Then she said "I've just mown my lawn, it makes a mess doesn't it!" and she lifted her tanned foot toward me and showed me the blackest bare sole I have seen in ages, with the instep stained green from the grass. Amazing!

 

Last Saturday morning on the 2nd, I went to get my car washed at one of the local high schools by the boys' varsity baseball team, since they were having a fundraiser. They had an efficient operation set up there where the first person hoses down the car, then a group of guys lathers up the car with soap, then the next person rinses the car off and finally, a group of guys dries the car off. About half the young guys there were barefoot and they seemed to be having the most fun compared with the ones who wore shoes or flip-flops. :2thumbsup:

 

Umm, any girls there?

I don't remember seeing any. This was a boys varsity baseball team at a local high school.

 

I was in Newquay, Cornwall today visiting friends and saw quite a few other barefoot people. The weather today was cool and sunny, a big change from the recent chaos.

They were either 'hippie' types or the surfer variety. I went to a cafe for lunch where they serve an excellent vegi feast and the girl who served us was barefoot too
