How To Make Soles Dirty?

The only benefit I can think of is for contemporary dancers. A bit of dirt acts like a dry lubricant so they don't cut up their feet so much.

 

Egyptian belly dancer Samia Gamal (RIP):

 

Take off shoes, open door, walk.
For dirtier soles, repeat.

 

May sound stupid but I love dirty feet. Take a few grapes with you when you go Barefooting and rub the crushed grape over your soles first....then go barefoot. Sticky and wet will turn your soles black in no time.

 

Made ME sticky and wet....

 

Now the colder weather is here I find that my soles don't get that dirty. I have been out for Several hours walking around the city centre and city suburbs and they are still quite clean and not the dirty grey/black they usually become . The pavements are nice and cold and feel great!

 

Kick a Trump supporter in the face.

 

It's the natural (often dry) lubricant for the soles, coming from the ground.
Especially in dry surroundings like the city, barefooting feels considerably more comfortable with it.

For the reason given above, no.

 

It's not stupid, because in this way you strengthens the natural (often dry) lubricant for the soles, coming from the ground.
Here, I need no "extra grapes" a the beginning, because there is enough on the ground which gives the same effect.

So, especially in dry surroundings like the city barefooting feels considerably more comfortable with naturally "lubricated" (aka dirty) soles.
If there are things on the ground like dropped food, I instinctively step on them, because the squishes and crunches feel good under my tough soles, and for the reason mentioned above.
A considerable part of the barefooters do this, too, especially in dry surroundings, and it's quite silly to badmouth this natural mechanism for varied and comfortable barefooting.

 

Great post from barefoot hiker. Nature provides wonderous surfaces to walk on especially this time of year.I love being barefoot and the feeling of the vround under my feet - and yes I love to get my soles filthy black. Mother nature will dirty my feet!

 

Why, are Trump supporters dirty?

 

Thanks for the dirty feet opinions. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one out there that really enjoys getting their feet as dirty as they can and enjoy showing them off as I do. LOVE Barefooting!

 

The vinyl tile floor in Walgreens and gets my feet dirtier then street on the walk there. I agree with the previous poster who said dept stores.

 

I raked my lawn barefoot. The ground is pretty muddy and soft after lots of rain, so I got plenty of dirt on my soles. If I walk on hard surfaces though, the dirt grinds in more and lasts longer.

 

Muddy feet are good but black feet from the streets are better.

 

do black barefooters prefer to walk on surfaces that stain their feet white?

 

How unsanitary! That will never wash off.

 

Agreed. Dirt especially from shopping arcades and car parks get the soles black in no time and the dirt becomes really embedded leaving the soles dirtier for longer and making it harder to wash off.

 

I dont mind having dirty barefeet if theyre naturally dirty...Like wandering around outside, camping, beach, county roads...hanging in the woods...maybe a festival anything like that I dont mind my feet being dirty. I actually have a lovely photo my friend(professional photographer) took of me in the woods and it was somewhat muddy, my feet are well pretty dirty in the pic, I like it

 

My dirty soles....trying to figure out how to upload images bigger then the allowed 250 KB it says from the advanced image uploader. Clearly the pics shared in this thread dont fall under that 250KB max so whats the trick, is it simply just from uploading from your personal album on this site?
