Another sensory pleasure for me besides barefooting is music. I love music; it's been embedded in my heart for a few years now. So what music do you listen to or think of when your'e barefooting? For me, it's Primus. There are a few reasons for this: 1. My addiction to Primus has timed out to my addiction to shunning shoes. 2. Primus is very... different, but great! 3. Most people don't do Primus. Most don't go barefoot either. 4. Many people think Primus is unusual. Same for barefooting. 5. Actually, most people have a disgusted look when hearing Primus. There are disgusted looks with bare feet as well. 6. Oh, and my parents like neither my barefooting habit nor Primus. But I still love my parents. So now I ask again: What's your barefootin' soundtrack? I can't wait to hear it.

I find anything with a percussive beat to be a good soundtrack, and that is a good definition of Primus, so I agree that they would be a good band for walking, barefoot or not. But my most recent playlist for the last barefoot walk I went on was the new Rush album, Snakes & Arrows. I also loaded up the Lost Season 2 original score from Michael Giacchino - I felt like one of the Others, barefooting through the jungle while listening to this album.
Dude, Rush is my #1 band and Snakes and Arrows is my favorite album. My old favorite was Hold Your Fire, but Snakes and Arrows blew it out of the water!
I don't seem to have a preference. The music I like is just as good while I'm barefoot as when I'm wearing shoes.
Yeah I really like Rush, although I must admit I've not been as much into their more recent music, until this last album which is a great return to their heavier roots. In particular, I like going barefoot to "Tom Sawyer" strictly for the literary connection to Mark Twain's fictional barefoot character.
I like to listen to pretty much everything but Linkin Park, System of a Down or Green Day are my favorites in general and while barefoot.
To quote Green Day: I wanna be the minority, I don't need your authority, Down with the moral majority, 'Cause I wanna be the minority. They used to be my favorite band... I still do listen to them occasionally.
i like to walk around whistling the "zippity do dah" song"! .. okay not really... never really thought about it i guess.. kid songs? the sweater song and the campfire song song by spongebob (yes theres two songs in the title) the abc's big elf and dalia like to just sing about whatever.. my barefeet make the lyrics in most songs.
I like American Idiot a great anti-bush song Well maybe I'm the faggot America. I'm not a part of a redneck agenda. Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along in the age of paranoia.
for me it's modest mouse. because...i listen to them all the time, they're the greatest. SOAD is grrrreat too!
i dnt listen to music while barefooting...i like to listen to the sound of the environment around me instead (usually the woods)
Is anyone here familiar with Amethystium? They're a kind of new age techno easy listening instrumental group that's very soothing to listen to. On one of their albums they actually have a song entitled "Barefoot" that has a very upbeat, almost childlike wonder to it. It's incidentally my favorite song of theirs (and not even because I'm a barefooter either).
There's also one local to North Carolina called Barefoot Manner. And I believe they perform barefooted too (or at least used to).
