are you barefooters, i mean people who go barefoot everywhere whether in streets etc or only like to run barefoot but go with shoes walking etc?
u very great, sorry to hear that, what a hoax and crime shoes areI go everywhere I can barefoot depending on the surface. I don't run barefoot anymore (not since December 2011/January 2012 ish) because the last surgery I had (to correct the damage done by shoes) relocated the main nerve branches in my feet to the bottoms of my feet, so I feel everything I step on much more than other people. The sensations (and pain) are amplified.
I run exclusively barefoot. I usually wear sandals when I go out of the house. I have sandals attached to my bike. I have to be barefoot when I teach and I wear sandals between classes.
I run 80% barefoot, I still need my sandals for longer distances (> 20km)
during my day I go barefoot when I'm alone
and go barefoot to public places (supermaket, bakery, ...) only when I feel strong enough, not everyday because it's always a bit challenging
100% bf runner. 100% bf at work. 100% bf at home. 80% bf out among other people.
My main barefoot aim is to run injury free, it's not really a lifestyle choice for me. I'm happy to wear minimal shoes in public places.
I am BF as much as I can be. I got thrown out of a light house ON Tybee Island last year, walmart has hassled me, o few restaurants, and as a teacher I am barely allowed to wear my branca sandals. That said everything else is BF including running.

I'm just a man. I'm bf as much as i want to be. You can call me names but don't stick any labels on me.
Hey, that's me too.100% bf runner. 100% bf at work. 100% bf at home. 80% bf out among other people.
95% run and 5% walk?I don't feel the need to go everywhere barefoot. I do wear comfortable footwear.
I always run without footwear. As a result, I would say that I spend 95% of total bipedal locomotion without footwear.
haha thats gangsta, you bravei went shopping at Trader Joe's last night bf. i've done it before and never get grief. one of the girls working just looked at me and smiled.
i hate cold weather i want to live tropical country in or near the equatorHey, that's me too.
Except I run shod when it's really cold or snowy.
And if I'm out and about, and have to wear shoes, I kick them off whenever I can, otherwise my feet get uncomfortably hot, and I miss the tactile stimulation of knowing my sur-groundings.
Yep, I've spent about one third of my adult life in the tropics. I regret having left it--I love living in my shorts and bare feet/sandals--but it's nice not having to watch my kids get malaria. At least spring has finally sprung here in the Midwest.i hate cold weather i want to live tropical country in or near the equator
