Others Barefoot in Public?

an old man barefoot driving his cycle by hand, in the pinewood. spite of the proximity to the shore, there are a few bf'ers , maybe because of all the pebbles and pine needles.

 

1.5 barefooters on the ped zone last Saturday, while I was en route to my usual weekend shopping trip: the 0.5 barefooter was a middle-aged woman walking barefoot, holding a pair of new and uncomfortably-looking high heels in her hand, the other barefoot person a man sitting on a bench, scrathing the head of his little dog that sat next to him.

Since temperatures were warm (around 25°C, with a nice cool breeze blowing) instead of hot, these people weren't in any danger of scorching their soles.

Wiggling bare toes, happy about the heat wave taking a break (but only until Tuesday... forecasts talk about 32°C again, then),

I was taking my nightly walk in my neighborhood earlier tonight. One of my neighbors was coming from the opposite direction (coming towards me), walking his dog, a black Labrador Retriever. My neighbor was barefoot--and so was the dog. As we passed each other, I gave him (neighbor) a thumbs-up!

 

Even though the weather was pleasant enough for barefooting yesterday (or rather, perfect - sunny and about 25°C), my feet were the only ones fully bare, natural soles touching the ground. No other barefooters around. After doing my usual Saturday urban barefooting and shopping trip, I got caught at thinking "Why on Earth isn't she barefoot?" on a brief encounter as I was about to enter the tram homewards, laden with my shopping bags, and waited for passengers to get out.

And there she was: a young hippie woman (or, one dressing the part ankles upward, at least), wearing a headband, her blond dreadlocks bound back, slender figure, an almost angelic face, wearing a light blue tank top and a tie-dye mini skirt... and on her feet: brown clunky leather shoes, looking like they came from some used clothes and shoes charity collection or flea market. She got out of the tram, looked at me indifferently, gazed down at my bare feet then into my eyes, just as indifferently and then went on her way... Well, it's so easy to ruin a perfect outfit. This time it was done by shoes. And I bet, had she been barefoot, her face would have looked a lot happier. Easy recipe to be happy and beautiful: walk barefoot - by feeling well (which is an effect of barefooting) you radiate beauty and happiness.

Wiggling bare toes, feeling happy and looking forward to some splashing in puddles (it's raining over here, and I love it!),

Last two days no shoses, its hard. To find another sole around here who bear foots, itts just starting to warm up, my feet got numb a few tims it was cool tho, went to the market. Then just chilled , have been told no shoes no servie most people let it slide or dont notice till ur leaveing, also ur right about a smile wen u meet another bear footer, nothing needs saying just a smile, ; )

 

Saw a lady walking barefoot with no shoes downtown today. Also yesterday I saw a rarity when I walked past a lady probably in her 60-70's walking barefoot! We smiled and exchanged greetings.

 

over a year ago i was waiting at a stoplight and i saw a girl probably in her teens walking across in front of me barefoot carrying her shoes, i had to look twice it's such a rarity today, but i'm always looking.

 

A couple of days ago I spotted a barefoot young man at the National Theatre in London. He was wearing knee-length shorts so his bare feet were obvious to everyone. He entered the auditorium without any problems. Some years ago I went to the same theatre barefoot a few times but this time I'd put on flip-flops. I was pretty annoyed with myself after seeing him as you can imagine.

 

I saw a lady barefoot. It is hot so anyone who can barefoot in this is impressive.

Cheers!

 

I'm sitting in my car using the internet at the LIBRARY, and a barefoot hippy just walked past. It is still so hot outside, and people are taking advantage of this awesome weather.

 

I see a fair few people around barefoot here. Whether or not they choose to go barefoot or just lazy and don't care either way (I assume the latter).
There was a real pretty, hippie lady that I served at work the other day who's bare feet made her even more attractive. Shame I had to be in my steel-cap boots at the time.

 

I saw at least about 5 people barefoot just at work tonight.
One was a hippy chick, one was an african lady, and the rest were just normal bogan aussie blokes haha

 

I was riding bike today with my sister (I was shod :banghead I saw a barefooter! She was pushing a stroller with her husband at her side. We passed them twice; we were downtown and she ostensibly went quite a distance. I wish I could see barefooters more often... that was the second person I've seen barefoot in public this year. The guy I saw barefoot in a store earlier was maybe the third or so I've seen in my entire life excluding myself.

 

The only times I see it are at outdoor concerts in the summer time or at the beach.

 

yep i know the feeling. makes you feel like you're missing the best . but you could copy and follow...

 

At least another 5 or so that I just saw today at my work. And they're just that ones that I saw, I'm sure there would have been plenty more

 

a guy mowing his yard barefoot. students are coming back into town after summer break

 

I've seen a number of barefoot girls this year. The highschool around the corner from me had a few girls that walked home barefoot from class in early June. I circled the block to do a double check of their dirty feet.

There was another in late June when I went to pick up my daughter from elem. school. She walked right out of the school barefoot, across the street and down the sidewalk. I have to be careful in my own neighbourhood though as this girl was about 12 y/o

 

i never see them, unless i go to the beach or something

 

I saw a young woman walking bf in Hull city centre on Saturday, no shoes in sight.
