    Fort Des Moines Park update

    Fort Des Moines Park FINALLY HAS ITS TRAIL OPEN AGAIN!!!! You have no idea how happy my feet were about this! It turns out they were adding a fishing dock, a boat dock, and other renovations to the park. But the important thing is, I could finally walk barefoot at Fort Des Moines park again!

    Barefoot summer days

    Barefoot Angie Bee

    I never met Angie Bee when she lived in Des Moines but she was the one who inspired me to enjoy being barefoot after I shied away from it from middle school to college. I don't know what it was but I really enjoy being barefoot now and I have Angie Bee to thank.

    Bare feet and dating

    Have any people on here met a significant other through running barefoot? If not were they open about you running barefoot? Also, has anyone been on a barefoot only date or went to a wedding barefoot? Or even had bare feet as a requirement at their own wedding?
