I have mentioned 4 of my kids deciding to engage in barefoot and minimalist running. And even my husband beginning to give total barefoot more of a try. Plus, I have a couple of friends who are now trying to just be barefoot more, walking and dancing. But I am especially pleased to report that my mother went shopping in multiple places barefoot today! She has been going barefoot at home more, as she has watched me doing my thing, but until this week it hadn't occurred to her that she might be out in public without shoes. She told me that she had worn the "wrong" flip-flops to Walmart and just had to take them off to walk back to the car. When I told her that I have been shopping many times without shoes, she just got so happy. She's having a blast and even texted me how much better control she felt she had with the pedals driving. She's says we are going to have to start a club now. Yeah, I have a great mom.
