The linoleum floor of a supermarket is a godless abomination, further from mother nature than any other surface

ugh, i hate that woo-woo "grounding" bullshit. gives the rest of the barefooters a bad name. honestly there's so many good reasons to go unshod without bringing in magical nonsense.

I once found a pair of barefoot running sandals online that were otherwise normal with rubber soles etc, but had a copper rivet inserted through the sole to facilitate that connection to earth.

Connecting to some basic ass tile work.

just wait until someone in your circles finds out about "frequency therapy".

I'd say dog pee is the least concerning thing on the list.

Also, parasites 😬

The thing about this I don’t understand is why. Is it supposed to be to exist in as much of a natural state as possible?

i tried to do it for a summer as a kid in a rural area and my feet got very gross indeed and I had a lot of painful experiences. but I feel that's the only way to do it safely, to be a kid in a small safe rural place where there is like grass to walk on

"Finally! A fashionable shoe for the blind earthbender."

Not kind of! Lol

It's just seasoning.

I just don't give a fuck. Adidas slides are basically my only good weather shoe. And most of the time I slide them into each other and stick them into my cargo short pocket. I have been doing this for like over 30 years and I hope to keep living life like this for the next 30 years.

If the store has a rule for it, you would be trespassing without shoes.

I’m curious, and have two questions:

1. Have you previously read/heard the phrase “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service”?
2. If you don’t mind answering, what region do you call home?

I have never seen a sign for this.

i've been accosted and kicked out of places so many times for being barefoot: grocery stores, restaurants, a bar, book shops, even a shoe store. i've basically been bullied by society at this point into wearing shoes whenever i go out, despite my own preferences. it's not illegal, basically anywhere, but you've been quite lucky to not have gotten any shit anyways.

Also all the tire dust that is releasing chemicals onto the skin.

unless you're in a place where human shit flows freely, that is not much of a concern. stores are usually not such places.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Humans suck at remembering history when they can’t see the consequences anymore.

Stores can't dictate what's legal, so this is not illegal. It's just not allowed under some store rules, but the most they can do is kick you out.
