Back in my hippie days, we would do a little trick. You get some hemp. Few beads. Whatever. Tie it around your big toe then loop it around your ankle. So it looks like you are wearing flip flops at a glance.
Did it all the time.
As a more informed person. I do not really recommend walking barefoot anywhere except a park or your own space. And beaches.
Cause dogs literally pee on every surface that exists in a city.
And also hepatitis.
Glass. Other sharp things.
Even if you have thick soles, they can take out gashes of it.
And the sidewalk is hella hot in the summer.
Go barefoot at your own risk. But know the risks. Mkay.?
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

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 just like the way it feels. Though because of all the risks, I wouldn’t do it except at home or similar environments.
Not a barefoot person but I’ve heard it claimed that its better for your feet. Seems off to me but its not like we evolved shoes so what do I know?
It’s better for your feet in soft soil & grass. Our feet evolved to walk on soil, high milage walking on concrete will damage your feet.
If you wear mis-fitting shoes your feet will also get damaged.
