Does anybody leave their shoes at home and go barefoot in the countryside or out around town. What are your experiences?

I don't usually wear shoes or socks around the house, so if for some reason I go outside or round to my neighbours I'm usually barefoot.

This is a thing, isn't it? In the summer I walk around indoors barefoot using flip flops if I go out. (Sandals for driving though).

One day I walked out of our side door barefoot and my 90 year old neighbour was flabbergasted. "You've got no shoes on!" She cried out. I just grinned and agreed. To much older generations, it is a sign of poverty.

I've done it loads of times over the years. I love my non league football and a few years ago when I was living on the east coast I left home barefoot, walked to the station, jumped on a train, got off at Weymouth, walked 25 minutes to the ground and watched Weymouth Town barefoot.

Interestingly, I noticed that people occasionally glanced my way outside London, but while travelling on the underground no-one took any notice whatsoever.

While at the game several people asked me why I was barefoot and I just told them I was doing it simply because I wanted to.

I have made several other trips barefoot but that was the furthest I've travelled.

A lot of people think you’ve got mental problems if you are barefoot. I’ve had a concerned couple ask me if I’m okay. The thing is you see lots of people with sweaty mangled feet through wearing shoes thinking I’m the mad one with the healthy feet.

That took guts, especially at a football match. It’s great having that feeling of vulnerability though with the safety of your shoes miles away.

I’ve spent the evening in pubs and clubs barefoot on holiday. Also walked through town centres barefoot. I wish more would do it so it becomes normal.

I’d love to travel in public transport barefoot like you did. Always thought it would be good to leave my shoes at home and travel to London on the train barefoot and go sightseeing.

I found that in cosmopolitan areas no one took any notice, but outside of London I got some very odd looks.

At Weymouth I actually had guys complimenting me on having the balls to do it. Two youngish lads even joined me for ten minutes by taking their shoes and socks off.

If you think for a moment what might have been on the pavement before you, would you still go barefoot?

Never go barefooted. Have a horror of it. Too many sharp things or other nasties on the ground. Years ago I used to enjoy a naked walk around some local woods but always wore boots. Too many thorns, sharp stones etc on the ground. 3 weeks ago I broke a glass in my kitchen. Swept it up, vacuumed and mopped the floor several times since. Yet on Monday morning I noticed a small shard of glass on the floor. Could have been nasty if I was barefooted.

Walking barefoot on natural surfaces (grass, soil, sand) is often called “grounding” or “earthing.”

The positive signs and potential benefits people report, or that some studies suggest, include:

Improved mood and relaxation – Contact with the earth may help reduce stress and promote calmness, possibly by lowering cortisol (the stress hormone).

Better sleep – Some small studies have found that grounding can help regulate sleep patterns and improve sleep quality.

Reduced inflammation and pain – There’s limited but intriguing evidence that grounding might decrease inflammation and soreness, perhaps through effects on the body’s electrical charge.

Enhanced energy and vitality – Many people subjectively feel more “alive,” centred, and alert after grounding.

Better balance and posture – Walking barefoot strengthens the small muscles in your feet and ankles, improving natural alignment and stability.

Connection with nature – Being physically connected to the earth can foster mindfulness and a sense of calm presence.

🌿 In short: A positive sign of grounding is when you start to feel calmer, sleep better, have less tension or pain, and generally feel more balanced and connected to your body and surroundings.

Never

Too many broken bottles etc around on the pavements.

I've never been a fan of the feeling of being barefoot though. As a child on a beach, the rocks, grass or hot sand could really hurt.

I've stepped out the front door recently to get a parcel with socks on. Even the concrete was uncomfortable to me without shoes.

Maybe I'm particularly sensitive

I have had glass embedded in my foot that needed to be removed by hospital, followed by a course of antibiotics, and three weeks of hobbling around, and a huge Thorne in my foot too, that again required hospital treatment, so no.

I've learnt my lesson.

No more barefoot for me!

"This is a thing, isn't it? In the summer I walk around indoors barefoot using flip flops if I go out. (Sandals for driving though).

As a teen I was "getting back to nature" and went all summer with no shoes, a labourer on the road noticed me on the way home from the beach, he genuinely wanted to buy me shoes as he could not grasp the concept of "barefoot being natural".

Winter came.

Shoes have benefits.

Always wear barefoot (minimalist shoes). Barefoot around the house and garden for the grounding / earthing benefits. Go for barefoot walks occasionally, in summer. Was walking in Windsor Park and a gentleman commented that I had no shoes on. Well spotted.

I dislike anything on my feet if I'm at home. When the weathers good I'm out with a broom every day doing patio and driveway.

Bins been out today and added a few things to the recycling as I came across them. Think of nothing walking out to road barefoot.

Kinda like I imagine women feel about their bras! Love to kick off my shoes at the end of the day...

I like the idea of barefoot but the closest I get is sandals most of the year. If I go barefoot I find _ettles, thorns, glass and every piece of gravel.

I wish I could go barefoot more.

I do most of the time but sometimes its difficult

In the past I was a right hippy

Your feet harden and get used to it

The people that say glass etc haven't done it

Its better for health

Better in warmer weather though

I like to go barefoot whilst outdoors the security guards at tescos and b&q seem concerned that i'm barefoot

Ive had a couple of issues with stepping on sharp objects

And one evening last summer I stepped on a huge freshly laid dog log while out walking in the local park

I felt a thick gooey warm sludge oozing upwards between my toes as i walked across the grass

I had a 2 mile walk till i could get home and wash it off it was awful and the smell was that bad it made me feel sick

I couldn't possibly subject anyone to my feet.

They're big, they're ugly. I hate them.

If there's any part of my body I would want to change it's my feet.

I prefer to drive barefoot too!

Most people don't notice but sometimes I can get a look Its starting to get colder now so I will at least have to wear sandals.

Easy to take off when driving or visiting people..

In NZ it’s a thing extended from Maori culture. It’s quite common to see folk bare footed in the supermarket. Or walking through the mall. Also, the streets and pavements are very clean.

Yup, once so a business type in Auckland, jump out of his chauffeur driven limo, all suited up but barefoot, as he nipped into a shop.

I was brought up in Africa too, but we never walked barefoot outdoors because you might get a “jigger” - a jigger" is a type of flea (Tunga penetrans) that burrows into the skin.
