I read a lot of anecdotes of people having comfortably run BF even when the air temp is down to 20f degrees or colder. Some are even running BF in snow. I want to know if those same people go 100-percent-BF during the other activities of their daily lives. Are you BF when shoveling snow or is there a minimalist shoe (or equivalent) that you wear during this and other similarly mundane tasks? Are you BF when away from home and not in your car, or do you wear footwear (and if so, what?)?
Even 5 years before I embraced minimalist footwear and going 100-percent-BF, I started wearing open-toed sandals all year round, even in cold-wet Winter, because of how shoes made my big toes feel. Well where I live, it's typically 32f degrees or such during the entire month of January, which always gave me chills from my bare ankles, especially when it was windy. I do have a pair of Feelmax Osmas now, which I can wear with conventional wool socks and not experience the toe pain but, there's a lot left to be desired for flexibility, not to mention that powder blue shoes (with or without the white and orange trim) don't go with dark suits at all. I've searched for dark wool slippers that could pass for business-casual shoes but I'm having a difficult time finding them to try on in stores, let alone finding any online that are suitable for my intended purpose. I like wool rather than leather because it ventilates my feet and dries a lot quicker if needed. I wouldn't go with a wool outsole though, that would need to be rubber.

But, I'll check out the Altras. Thanks!
