I kind of hate being called a hippie. I only wear khaki pants, would a freaking hippie do that?I always enjoy the reactions by children. They're honest and seem to grasp the natural subversiveness of barefooting (very young children are natural nudists too). Still get overwhelmingly negative and/or stoopid reactions by adults (99% of them are male). Sigh.
My favorite reactions are getting kicked out of stores. It's fun to make a scene, especially if you get thrown out of a vegan/hippie store for being barefoot.
