What freedom (after the initial soreness when in contact with a sharp rock) to feel the cool pavement and then the warm pavement. To feel the soft, welcoming grass, to wiggle my toes in a warm puddle. My feet thank me for giving them the freedom to connect with the earth, to enjoy the richness of the mud.
We were created barefoot, yet we restrict our feet everyday. We all have reasons, be it "fashion" or "support" or something else. I challenge you to throw off your shoes three times this week. Go outside barefoot; let your feet engage and enjoy creation. Then leave a comment and tell me how it went!

I agree. I also have a blog in which I review minimalist shoes but nothing beats walking barefoot. With the weather getting warmer, I've found myself walking around the house and garden barefoot and it's such a nice feeling to be able to feel the ground again. If only I lived in New Zealand where going barefoot in public is a social norm and not considered "weird" or "hippyish"
