I’ve done it for religious reasons, very freeing and on the right environment feel good, cons..sharp things, will eventually harden your feet up (con if you don’t want that) |

The closest I get is in my trail shoes which have no heel lift and are pretty minimal. As soon as I'm in them I automatically switch from running with a heel strike to forefoot strike. If I've done a lot of trail I'll often set off in my road shoes with a forefoot strike until the shoe shape seems to naturally switch my gait back.

A guy finished the Newport marathon a few mins ahead of me running barefoot. We swapped places a few times through the race and he always looked comfy though slowed a little on some of the rougher tracks. My feet had a few bruised feeling spots by the end with running shoes his must have been really tough.

That’s fantastic!! Fair play to you both, I am determined to try, just no one around Blackburn/darwen fancies sharing the same motive!!  |

Pros: feet have freedom, they get aerated, It reduces the inflammation within you're body, and I'm sure there are many more.
Cons: they can get cold during winter, they get dirty, you can potentially injure you're feet if you don't pay attention to the ground you're standing on, etc. |

Aww your body wants it, that is a good enough reason. I love to do it but are a bit wary about where. Beaches generally fine or on an open grass common, woods I would be hesitant about. Even walking/hobbling over gravel gives your soles a massive tingly buzz when you get back to soft stuff  |

I will give it a go!! Hopefully… just something I’ve been wanting to try! |

As soon as I'm home I'm barefoot.
I wonder around the house, the garden, and back and forwards to the car like it.
Also when camping, I'm often barefoot around the campsite. Love the feeling of grass and mud on my feet. |

I love to be barefoot and I'm lucky to live on the shore so I can always go and walk on the damp sand.
I do like to be barefoot on grass but there are too many stealth turds and bits of glass round here for it to be feasible, which is a huge shame. |

I can hardly walk over a beach with a bit of shingle and anyway I’ve just shaved my legs and painted my toenails so while it’s a nice idea OP, it’s not for me.. I’m out. |

I’ve been wearing barefoot friendly shoes for a few years now and my body has adapted back to walking how it was designed to.
If I put a pair of ‘normal’ shoes on now you really notice how wrong they feel ! |

Being barefoot outdoors is just the best, love it, and regularly go for barefoot walks whatever the weather (actually even better when its wet and muddy!). And the best thing about being naked outdoors is being barefoot at the same time, massively turns me on. |

Have you ever stood on a 13amp plug barefoot? Not for me sorry "
Yes a few times. Ouch wasn't the word I said I can assure you of that. |

Depends a lot on where you are trying to walk and weather. If it's flat surface and temperate, it's easy and even nice to do it. If not, you are in for a world of pain. |

You mean grounding? It has pro and cons but the cons are quite large. |
