Would you move to be in a more barefoot friendly location ?

I am in a Florida beach town and I am thinking in the reverse, I would not want to move someplace less barefoot friendly.

I found California coast with its surfer culture to be the most barefoot friendly place in US. Little more so then Florida.

Thinking of moving to a bigger place but farther from beach some loss in barefoot acceptance if I go too far inland.

But back to topic some here are pretty dedicated, ever think of moving to like a beach town ?

 

No one replied to the New Zealand thread yet.

That would be great place but learning to drive on left side of the road I bet that's difficult.

 

Moving to a beach town would be fantastic, but most beach towns will not have enough job opportunities other than hospitality. Always wanted to just walk barefoot to a cafe for breakfast in the morning. That's exactly what I did in Palm Cove, Cairns, Australia whilst on holidays.

 

I'm so far up north Europe, moving to a different city wouldn't cut it. I'd have to move to a whole different country altogether. That's where the question of visas and residency permits would rear its ugly head, making the whole thing unfeasible for me at this point in time. Right now I don't have the ability to satisfy the requirements for anything other than a tourist visa. Plus, of course, the whole deal with Covid-19 that is happening still.

Of course, if I could have my way, I've heard some positive things about Australia's north coast, and about the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. And of course, New Zealand. Also, Okinawa in Japan looks very tempting:



Very, VERY tempting. My feet NEED that beach. ;_; But I can't fund any sort of extensive traveling plans right now.

 

Yes, that sounds like a lot of hassle to go through just to go barefoot year round. More likely you would trade one problem for another.

 

I don't think I'd move to live a 24/7 barefooter lifestyle as much as I enjoy being barefoot its not worth the money and been away from my friends and family in a different country.

I've grown to tolerate my feet inside foot cages for 8 hours a day 5 days a week whilst I'm at work. Of course I'm barefoot everywhere else anyway. Plus if I moved somewhere else I'd probably be in the exact same situation

 

Beaches are lovely!
But, given family and friends I'd have to pretty much drop everything to do so, not quite feasable... Awesome idea though.

 

I moved to a Florida beach town in September. I have been barefoot 24/7 since I got here. It is truly amazing to live in such a barefoot friendly area.

 

Same with me. I'm a true barefooter now, finally.

 

Which coast and which town? Here in St. Pete, I find it overall to be VERY accepting, but not very commonly seen. Just wondering if your location informs a different experience or not.

 

I did exactly what OP asked. I moved and live beachside in Florida because it is so barefoot friendly here.

My barefoot lifestyle had a big role in deciding where I would move.

 

I would move to a place that is barefoot friendly . Where I live there is some barefoot friendly places. I just wish the people were. There’s a lot of people think going barefoot is gross and people should only go barefoot in their house not outside or at stores.

 

Moving just for somewhere more barefoot friendly is a bit extreme. If you’re going to relocate then of course there’s a huge list of things to consider. I moved to Aus which is definitely more barefoot friendly; although it was on the list of positives when I was assessing a move, it was certainly not the only reason for moving!

 

If I could move to a place that my wife and I could be barefoot in businesses more often, it would be an absolute dream. I have looked into this before, and hope to someday live in a place where being barefoot is far more socially acceptable than the urban metropolis we live in now.
