Question Barefootin'; how often?

How often & in what circumstances do you go barefoot? Only barefoot in the bath? Only situationally barefoot, say at the beach or during the warm seasons?
The Poll is strickly an amount of time by percentage, so feel free to post your barefoot qualifications to the thread.
Afraid of parasites burrowing into your tootsies? Anyone firewalked? Six toes?>

Re: Barefootin'; how often?

I'm a major fan of being barefoot, and bare everything for that matter.

And I only wear what I need to,
So when it calls for wearing shoes I will,
but I love earth between my earth toes.

Re: Barefootin'; how often?

S'funny you mention that Turtle-

The Bubbling Well cavity is on the base-middle portion of the foot, and "communicates" with the Earth.

Seeing that we all need to wear shoes around when we go outside, modern humans have "lost" much of their ability to communicate with Mother Earth.
Unlike Animals who have the sense of the Mother - who know when to run away from Earthquakes and Volcanoes!

I try when I can. The feeling of sun on my feet feels great!
But mostly I wear socks and shoes

No Shoes, No shirt, No service,

Re: Barefootin'; how often?

Yeah, I have that "in the house" question: shoes are not allowed in my house at all: you leave 'em at the door thank you very much.

Also, I'm assuming you're talking about sole-covering: I like open-toed heels, but that's hardly barefootin' no matter how much skin is showing...

Obviously where you live makes a huge difference. When I was in high school in LA, none of us ever wore shoes unless a teacher was walking by....

Footloose,
Buffy

Talking Re: Barefootin'; how often?

I chose the 70% barefoot option. During cold weather I wear socks in the house, but I don't like the feel much. Indoors or out, I go barefoot as much as possible. I look forward to Spring & warmer weather so I re-toughen my feet & put my bubbling wells to the Earth. In just a few weeks my feet will laugh at all but a direct hit by a thorn or glancing laceration by some shard or other.
I like all the extra taction of textures.
