Enjoy going barefoot

believe it or not, it's almost that time of the year again. halloween is actually a great time to be barefoot without experiencing too much opposition from others since you can dress as a barefoot character and everyone will think that's the way you're supposed to be :) so, who are some of the barefoot characters? Tom Sawyer and his buddy Huck Finn, as well as the Incredible Hulk come to mind. can you name some others. oh yeah, Tarzan of course. how can i forget about him! :) one time i went to a halloween party dressed as Tom Sawyer and i had a ball! it was at a restaurant that normally would require shoes, but since it was halloween and i was Tom Sawyer, i didn't get any hassle :) oh, i just remember another character that was originally barefoot but has been presented shod in modern times and that is none other than peter pan. i just love the latest peter pan movie where he, tinkerbell, wendy and some of the other kids were all barefoot. that's the way it ...

the following is a comment from someone in the USA: "When I was a kid (a long time ago), in the summertime I only put on shoes on Sunday to go to church." isn't that wonderful? that was before my time though, but i've heard that was indeed the case. as soon as school was over in the spring, everyone would leave their shoes off and not wear them again until when they went back in the fall except for those who went to church on sundays. i've also heard that in the old days many even went barefoot to school or even to church perhaps? after all didn't God tell Moses to take off his sandals before stepping on holy ground? so why do people have to wear shoes to church nowadays? kids in those days certainly knew how to have a good time going barefoot all the time or at least most of the time. sadly today almost everyone wears shoes all year. they surely don't know what they're missing. maybe someone reading this can relate their experiences going ba...

ok, i'm on a roll here. just added another page to my web site, this time about henna designs or henna tattoo as some people call it. many barefooters like to decorate their feet to show others that they're not ashamed of their feet; in fact, they're proud to show them off, and docorations such as toe rings, ankle bracelets, and henna designs make their feet look even more attractive. so, if you go barefoot a lot, why not consider applying some henna designs on your feet and make your already beautiful feet look even more exotic! another good thing about henna designs is that unlike regular tattoos, they are not permanent. so you don't ever have to worry about regretting getting the tattoo in the future since they will wear off on their own with time. you can read more about those cool and exotic henna designs at my site, again by clicking on the title of this post :)

today we're taking a break from commenting on various quotes by people about going barefoot just to let y'all know that i recently added a page to my website about flip flops. whoa! flip flops on a barefoot website?? i know, i know, some of you barefooters may chastise me for it. but you know what? not all of us are full time barefooters and in those instances when going barefoot is not possible, like due to the weather work/school, etc. flip flops are actually the next best thing. why? because when you wear flip flops your feet (most of them anyway) are still exposed; they're not suffocated like when you wear shoes and you can also easily slip off your flip flops whenever you want to. so you are technically one step away from being barefoot. and hey, who knows (keeping my fingers crossed) bare feet might be the next fashionable thing! :) another thing about flip flops is that in the beginning when they were just starting to be in style, it was mostly women who wore t...

the following comment is from someone in belgium... "in belgium we can not go barefoot very well because the weather is not so good but when it is warm i sometimes walk barefoot. but here its rare to see other people barefoot. also the roads are very hard for walking barefoot. i walk more often in sandals. i don't think there is a group of barefooters in belgium." hmmm... interesting. probably it's pretty cold in belgium that it's not comfortable to walk barefoot outside? i know, i myself don't like the cold, barefoot or not. that's why i live where it's pretty much warm all year so that i can go barefoot most of the time. you should know your limits if you venture outside in the cold barefoot. if you're not careful you could get a frost bite and that's no fun! i've heard and seen pictures of people barefoot in the snow but i have not tried it myself. would love too some time just for the experience. have any of you gone barefoot i...

the following comment was made by an american who was living in singapore at the time... "Singapore is potentially one of the most barefoot friendly places imaginable because there is no littering, no broken glass, etc. but one almost never sees people going barefoot per se, they're always slipping their flip flops or sandals off when sitting at a restaurant, cafe, park, etc. Conceptually I think this maybe is so because people always take their shoes off indoors to keep the inside of the house clean, and I think they might consider that concept to be undermined by bare feet for walking outdoors, then, indoors. In a sense it seems kind of "politically incorrect" to do so here but I still try as much as possible." are any of you from singapore or have been there for a length of time? perhaps you can post some comments and share your experiences going barefoot there.

the following is a comment from someone in new zealand: "In New Zealand and Australia a lot of people go barefoot during Spring and Summer, and in Queensland year round. Just returned from a holiday in Hawaii Big Island and Oahu Waikiki. Loved going barefoot everyday. Surprised to see not as many barefooters as expected. Most wore jandals or sandals. Hotels stated they wanted guests to have footwear. I ignored this." yes, australia and new zealand are paradise for barefooters. i have never been to any of them myself but have heard from others that a lot of people go barefoot in public in those 2 countries, especially in beach communities. it's so common that most don't even give it a second thought. there are very little resistant to going barefoot from establishments. hawaii is also barefoot friendly compared to most places on the us mainland. again, barefooters are more prevelant in beach communities. however, hawaii is also a part of north america, where many peopl...
