Walking 1,600 Miles in Homemade Natural Fiber Shoes? (and Barefoot)

[@BethBliss11.11]

Still watching friend! Keep on walking!!

[@LZ-un7ky]

Came upon this … wow what a beautiful life you’re living

[@alexdigaia]

I use things that only last long. I have a pair of boots that are 20+ years old, my phone left after 8 years, my laptop after 12 years, and my bike after 7+ years. I buy only good second hand things. My fashion is my body not my clothes..

[@maxpowers3494]

You buy second hand underwear?

[@alexdigaia]

@@maxpowers3494 I don't use them at all! Very liberating!

[@audrawilkens6640]

Please make a video of how/where you acquired materials - especially how they were sewn & what you used for that, how you made a possible pattern for best fit, assembling, and now that you've put so many miles into them how you might improve your next pair. Absolutely genius!

[@hlavinkadominik]

Hello Robin. "Every stuff I own" could perhaps be a good idea for one of your next video. Would look forward for it.

[@francescomagistrali4690]

Hey Robin, I’d already sent you a message on Instagram, weeks ago, sending my blessings from Italy, my home country. Again, way to go man! WAY TO GO!! Thank you for sharing all this! 💪💪💪

[@carnivorecaveman]

Please upload a video to show how you have made/created that shoe! I like the idea to make that kind of show for I myself. But I need the know-how.

[@ShaneNull]

With all the roadkill out there you could start your own shoe company

[@aboutdawntoday]

hahahahahaha

[@LarsStarrAdventures]

This reminds me, I meant to ask you to share details of what taking caring of your food needs looked like. Are you foraging and dumspter diving along the way?

[@lilindil1250]

Maybe have a spare cut pair of soles in your bag for situations like this as part of a repairs kit

[@Melita-ik1yd]

You are amazing ❤

[@justinobyrne4143]

I love myself just the way justin is. Keep educating the masses with what is possible.

[@LucasAdorn]

remember that feet were not made to walk on asphalt.

Patron saint of the roadside!! God bless ya, Rob.

[@appishah23]

Hi Robin, Have you heard of Jainism (Jain religion)? Jain monks live somewhat similar life to what you’re currently doing. It’s very common and huge in gujarat, India.

[@RawJessy]

So cool you made those shoes yourself Rob….I love it! Plus the fact that the leather soul keeps you grounded is awesome! Free energy from the earth with every step you take 🦶🏼 🦶🏼

[@oscarsh2909]

Are you sure though? Is Leather (dead skin) really an electrical conductor? I’d love to know if it is because I’d want those shoes. But I’d also imagine that any preparation of the leather would impact the performance.

[@RawJessy]

@@oscarsh2909 As far as I know it works…especially on damp or wet ground to get the hide some moisture to help with conductivity. What you said about the dry leather being a poor conductor of electricity is correct, so barefoot is definitely a much better/reliable way to be grounded, but I think the leather bottoms still work to a much lesser extent!

[@tofudoesntscream]

Only oppressors wear the skin of sentient beings.

[@OffGridishHomestead]

@@tofudoesntscreamreally? plants are sentient beings, and you’re okay with killing and eating them? Seems selective and convenient.

[@amyhunt9262]

You are inspiring!!!

[@donHooligan]

that's awesome! i've wasted lots of time thinking about how to make my own shoes, but never put one whit of energy into actually doing it.

[@stuffnthangs5545]

Youre pretty close to me, i got tons of veg-tan leather i can help you out with.

[@Robin.Greenfield]

Send me an email it [e-mail] Dear Friend!

[@sheeshee1053]

Any Kenyan here tucheke pamoja😊 ....great job Rob

[@Christopher-G-Wilder]

Can I order a pair of RG home/road-made shoes? 👞👞

[@groovytemple]

Robin, for future reference with moccasins, walk on the earth not on the pavement that will wear them out too quick, also better for your feet to walk on natural earth!!❤

[@Christopher-G-Wilder]

[@ThomasGapinski]

I like your shoe design. What do you think about repurposing synthetic material from an old yoga mat or even old bike tires to resole shoes? A lot of this material ends up in landfills, but are still very durable.

[@Kimberly-n4c]

I love those shoes. I need a pair, I cannot walk in rubber shoes,i been going out in socks

[@ms.richardson8803]

Hey Robin- you ok? Haven’t seen a post in a while-which is fine of course -❤just checking in ! 😊

[@weRallmagical]

I have this concern too. Hope you’re ok sweet human ❤

[@iwbagiai]

everything returns to the earth, just a matter of how long.

[@Anomalous-Plant]

I wonder if wooden slats could be used on shoes to prevent such quick wear down

[@mountains1233]

Where can I buy these?

[@skyearthocean5815]

Do your feet just never get tough enough to do that walk entirely barefoot?

[@ismewhat1234]

U rock ❤

[@Livewithoutlitter-ts2si]

Your awesome .😊

[@marlan5470]

Those shoes look wonderful. They are not meant for asphalt walking, though. They're for dirt roads. Have you thought of adding beading to your moccasins?

[@greg4629]

does he use sunscreen

[@andreacolgate-qk5uk]

Wow! Not that it's your goal, but if you could make those shoes and maybe make them look a bit better, you could easily sell them. I would definitely buy a pair.

[@Tutkanator]

Can I exist. Wonderful

Does anybody know if he said ahead of time that he wouldn’t be posting for a while? ❤

[@corywhalen1459]

Damn bro

[@tofudoesntscream]

Robin, why the need to commodify sentient beings? Would you wear shoes made from dog or cat skin? If you really love the earth and all its inhabitants so much, why would you eat or wear anything taken from a sentient being? Just be consistent.

[@AmandaCan]

Thank you for commenting. The animal is already dead when he finds it, and then respectfully harvests. We are all one with earth. Peace with you.

[@tofudoesntscream]

@@AmandaCan And how did those animals die? I highly doubt the cow, sheep, and deer all lived their natural lives and died of old age. In the leather (skin) and wool industries, they are not byproducts of something else; those animals are raised for those end products, and as such, they live in captivity and their lives are cut tragically short. Even if the animals died of completely natural causes/old age, in using animal parts in any capacity, one is commodifying said animals and reducing them to a product. Would you wear the skin of a dog or cat, or another human animal? Stop justifying animal exploitation; animals are not clothing (or anything else for humans).

[@juttbreeze8364]

​@tofuneverbleeds typed from your phone or pc made by literal slaves. Why commodify the earth, the dirt we walk upon, when we turn it into a garden to grow crops. Why steal the bounty meant for the insect or bird? Why not just meditate until the ultimate enlightenment is reached and there is no need for food, nor drink, nor clothing

[@debswall]

@@tofudoesntscreamRead his post on veganism -you will find it on his website. Blessings! ❤️

[@PurpleViolett2]

That leather had to suffer and die for you.....

[@youcanknowanything8489]

no he prolly used roadlill to harvest the skins to make the leather

[@PurpleViolett2]

​@@youcanknowanything8489i dont think so, but lets ask him

[@shelbygreen8888]

Can’t wait to hear what happened with those 👟 shoes 😮😊Robin
