Where did you go barefoot today?

Last night for the second time in as many summers yours truly managed to lose his footwear while strolling barefoot around the city. I was almost at the subway when I realized I had misplaced them. Unfortunately I didn't have time to retrace my steps, so I just chalked it up as a loss. FYI: No one said anything regarding my bare feet on the train. With the exception of losing my footwear it was a great night as far as black soles go.

 

Just around home today, but I spent yesterday at the Medeval Festival at Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex. Went all day in bare feet with some interesting terrain underfoot, especially due to all of the rain we've had recently.
Many of the cast were barefoot as were some of the visitors.

Spent the evening in Brighton and met a gorgeous young barefoot lady and her friend walking back to the station. She seemed very relieved to find someone else walking barefoot (it was her first time due to painful new shoes). She said that she really enjoyed the experience and would be going barefoot more in the future !

Stupidly, I forgot to ask for her number..........

 

That's fantastic, where did you barefoot from? Did you come by tube?

 

i went to run some errands today.... i went to the library and the post office. and wholefoods... dun dun dunnn.

i was kicked out of wholefoods when id been filling my cart for a half hour. the employee was really rude asking me to leave and saying that I was being unsanitary and that it would be unsafe. i am very sanitary, and very cautious about where I step.

needless to say i was rather put off... and she told me it was posted at the door. however when i checked, there was no sign posted at all.

so, im gonna check up on this "policy" before i return to their stores.

 

My yard, that is 40 acres high up in the mountains, I was taking a out door shower.

It's gonna be a good day I'm headed back to Cedar Point wearing flip flops, knowing that I'm going to take them off on at least 6 rides nothing like having my bare feet dangle as the air rushes through my toes. Raptor, Wicked Twister, Power Tower, Max Air, Wave Swinger, & Sky Hawk

 

I found a short cut to work through the corn fields on my bike, right off the train track. Stumbled upon a ditch who was all to eager to join the procession to wrok
Spends the rest of working with one sawk and a piece or two of swanps swimmings with the squickyshoes

In the past several days I've been to the Giant's new no name stadium, the beach to watch the high surf sitting in an open air bar and getting very wet, and a vintage car race. Many others barefoot at both the beach and the race. Not a bad week at all.

 

I was in brick lane that day and saw a guy barefoot, it was probably you!

Being still quite a novice Ive been pushing my boundaries this summer.
Ive been for a few bf walks in a local country park, on one occasion leaving my shoes in the car as opposed to carrying them in a rucksack.... A woman was walking her dog right behind me for ages but didnt seem to want to make eye contact...ha. Another woman walked past me and smiled and said hello so not all bad reactions.
I spent an afternoon walking bf around a local town and honestly didnt notice anyone glance down at my feet apart from a woman who served me in a pharmacy.
Ive also been out bf from my house to the local post office in the afternoon, most people I passed were completely oblivious, one guy about 20yrs old just said 'ha, barefoot!' I still cant bring myself to go into a supermarket or mall yet, maybe next summer.

anyway im sure this sounds tame to all you seasoned barefooters but we all have to start somewhere!

 

It's a good start. Remember no one is gonna attack you so don't worry about reactions. The worst that will happen is a look or a statement.....so what? You could probably have a nice comeback like yeh I'm barefoot but you're fat....see?

 

Good luck, they won't even allow the guys with their shirts off, but allow girls in bikinis. Pfft! Love to know what happened!

 

Last week had the usual barefoot trips to and from work, with the addition of going barefoot to the movies on Thursday and Friday night and yesterday afternoon, too... since the natives depicted in that re-released director's cut/special edition movie are permanently barefoot, it was just the right choice of footwear. Now, it's not hard to guess which indigenous population on which fictional moon I'm talking about, is it?

Yep, three more barefoot visits to Pandora. And those extra scenes really rock, too.
Saturday was something special, since I went to a tech store (where I bought an SD card for my new smartphone 2 weeks before) to pick up something I had asked about previously... a 2-meter-tall cardboard advertizing stand for DVDs of guess which movie...
Those people in the mall had a hard time to pick what to stare at first... the two cardboard Na'vi (or, to be precise one Na'vi, one Avatar, as it were Jake and Neytiri), or the barefoot guy carrying them. Later on, as I had brought my blue friends home safely, I returned to the mall to do my usual Saturday shopping. And then it was just "The Look"TM at me for being barefoot.
On sunday, it was the day of my usual barefoot walk in the park in sunny weather and still warm conditions (well over 20°C), where I could feel the change of the seasons benath my soles... the ground underfoot on the lawn areas felt soft and wet, even though it hadn't been raining for a few days - the late summer/early fall sun seemingly didn't have the power to dry that up within a few days and the morning dew was still cool and wet on the grass in shaded places, even though it was afternoon. Furthermore, the lawn hadn't been cut in a while, so the grass was high enough to swallow up my feet ankle-deep in some spots. Much to my and my bare feet's delight Mother Nature had laid out a nice green plushy carpet for me and my happy soles. From taking a walk, feeling Her beneath me, I went to the bus stop at the park exit to take a bus and then change to the tram taking me to the movie theater for the aforementioned afternoon showing of Avatar (Special Edition).

All in all, yet another nice barefoot weekend to round up and finish a week of my regular barefooting.

Wiggling bare toes,

Or it may have been the other guy I saw, or was that you?

 

..as usual, some looks but no probs!

 

I spent Monday in London with a friend who goes bf 24/7 (wish i could!)
We visited the Cabinet war rooms (a museum) and had a good walk around.
No problems anywhere, of course! London is very barefoot friendly.

 

I agree. Walked all over Knightsbribge and Kensington.....no probs. Did Bath, but there i did get "the look" but no comments. But in Bath I also saw 3 barefoot runners for the first time so go figure.

 

Piss Paddling is agreat past time

 

Going barefoot? It is. A lot of people here like it as well. Anyhow, today a Stop and Shop, a farm stand (fresh corn on the cob) and Division of Motor Vehicles where I learnt that since they did away with inspections I can scrape off the failed sticker on the older car and run it with impunity. All in all a good day.

 

Went round Bridlington today (technically yesterday as I'm a late night kind of guy). Was barefoot for the second half of the day, after coming out the sea/off the beach.
Was exercising/walking a friend of my grandmother's guide dog for much of that too...
