    Get Your 2024 Wildwood Barefoot Country Music Fest Tickets Here

    Actually, I guess I feel like barefoot runners don't fall under any musical genre. I don't mean to offend any country music fans on here! I mean, I like Johnny Cash, so maybe that counts? But yeah, makes it sound like it's a bunch of hillbillies up in the holler having a hoedown. When it's pop...

    Get Your 2024 Wildwood Barefoot Country Music Fest Tickets Here

    I don't understand this. Does the 'barefoot' in the title mean something else in this context? Or the promoter a big barefooter? Seems like they could have had the 'Beach Country Music Festival'? I just don't feel like people who like country music like to go barefoot? But, cool I guess.

    movie: Wicked Little Letters

    This movie might already be out of the theaters, but one of the main characters, played by Jessi Buckley, goes barefoot all the time, in an oceanfront town in 1920s (?) Britain. She even runs through town barefoot at one point. Plus, only an Irish woman can swear with such style. In fact...

    Is Wearing Shoes a Bad Idea?

    Even with shoes, I take them off when entering a house. People in Asia got this one right. It's funny though, sometimes when I'm a guest to someone's house and I take off my shoes, I sometimes get a little side-eye. Like, 'No socks?!' But I think they more grateful for me taking off my shoes...

    Best Cheap Barefoot Shoes

    Their light boots are the ones I use a lot. Wearing them now for a chilly bike ride downtown. They have a warm insert that's really really warm. Could hike in them, though the soles might get shredded pretty quick. Also not waterproof like I think they claim. Their super winter weather boots...
