Whenever I’m barefoot I seem to attract jagged and pointy rocks 💀

[@naturesown1807]

That's what happens when you think too much

[@everydaykiva6377]

I’m newly diabetic and the direction from mds is socks and shoes. I think it’s about reduced ability to heal in the event of wounds. I’m going to figure out how to do a combination of barefoot/barefoot sandals to regain my health and reverse chronic stuff. I’m too young to feel this old (58). You’re beautiful. Keep doing you!! 🌼🌸🌺

[@minicooper647]

I'm a cook at a restaurant, so shoes are required, but I only wear them there, and at the grocery store, I wear sandals. Keep making great content, keep spreading love. 💜💜💜

"This thing...is so beautiful"....my FAVORITE part!

[@gladjensallfix4240]

Thank you! after 3 years of physical, mental and spiritual sickness I have just started hiking. yesterday i came to a stop where i either needed to take a long detour ore take my shoes of and cross a stream. After i crossed i did not want to put my shoes back on and ended up hiking for 8 km barefoot with a huge smile on my face. Im soo doing this! Shoes going byby =) Keep it up, Thanks!

[@davidrodriguez3503]

I run barefoot and shirtless at the park at least twice a week and it feels amazing! It also helps that the weather is in the 80s-90s.

[@LaoSoftware]

I love going barefoot. Back in the caveman days, we were all barefoot. Our ancestors wasn't wearing shoes. Being barefoot, it's enlightening. I like to feel the earth. The grass, the dirt, the pebbles, the sand between your toes.

[@user-hg6xm5jo4r]

Our connection to Earth is now more essential than ever before. Shoes disconnect us from the earth! Great video 😊

[@hi18621]

In Germany, there is a big mainstream idea of being barefoot. Many people go on weekends to "barefoot parks". There, they walk over all types of surfaces: non-sharp glass, mulch, mud, rock/stones of all sizes, cork, etc. They are really fun and very popular! kzbin.info?search_query=Barfußpark+Hallwangen

You are a hero. Fight against Big Shoe. You are my hero.

[@DivineAtheistWannabe]

The thing about foot arches and knee problems is REALLY making sense to me. You inspired me to focus on my toe strength a bit more and when I activate my toes more, I can really feel the burn on my foot arches and ankles. From a guy that's had knee pain for over a decade, it really makes sense that these weak points are a major cause of them. I also trying to improve glute and hamstring strength to develop the muscles around the quads and balance out the muscles. Also took inspiration and knowledge from Kneesovertoes guy. But your advice really really makes sense. Thanks for inspiring me. On the road to better knees.

[@YOUENJOYLIFE]

Keep being awesome and thanks for sharing!

[@damobristol]

Totally with you bro. Hard to explain to people how good it feels, you just have to do it. Feel connected, more relaxed, more present. I came to it because I bumped into a woman hiking barefoot and stopped for a chat and then gave it a go. I had been trying to improve my balance using a wobble board which really strengthened my feet and ankles ahead of starting - thoroughly recommend that - so I was pretty mush ready to go. Now selling off my old shoes as I swap to barefoot shoes. I started with the same Xeros you have. 👍

[@marcelobarefoot3549]

Congratulations for your decision to live barefoot, my friend!!! You told you started this 4 months ago and I could see how strong and caloused you got your soles... This is really amazing!!! Seems you are challenging your soles everyday... I am a barefooter too. Not all the time for many reasons but i believe this is the right thing to do for all the reasons you pointed here...I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My father ever adviced me to go barefoot when i was a boy. After 9 yo I realize how pleasant was and how strong my feet got strong... I am 53 now and i can tell you how pleasant is to travell barefoot... Believe me, it will really chabge the way you see yourself and the world... Get in contact whenever you want... it will be an honour to talk with you...

[@Justinkol]

Thanks for sharing, definitely piqued my interest. Quarantine will make it much easier to be barefoot throughout the day

[@ethanshepherd4963]

Sounds like the life of a barefooter is a relaxed, happy one!

[@pokerchannel6991]

I admire ppl who are barefoot.

I have been doing this for years. I love it. Usually only in the summer but this year I am trying to go as far into the winter as possible. It gets super cold here so maybe not all winter.

[@saurabhsonic]

Thank you so much for this video. It's very inspiring. I'm glad that Rob featured you on his channel. I saw his "barefoot living" video as well, and feel deeply connected to what both of you are saying. During this whole COVID thing, I've been stuck at home, and have been living basically bare feet for the past few months. I feel fantastic - in terms of my feet. Unfortunately, my activity level has gone way down - and I was overweight before, but I'm really overweight now. So when you were talking about obesity - that was very meaningful for me. Much of our "dis-ease" is caused by obesity - which arises from bad diet, bad rest, lack of activity, etc. I really, really want to get back to my "natural" self - be lean, fit, full of energy, healthy, strong, fast, agile, tough! I'm the opposite right now - fat, soft, weak, tired, lazy, aches and pains everywhere, no stamina. I'm 5' 9" and 235 lbs and I should be no more than 165 - so I'm basically 70 lbs overweight. I never would have imagined that this would become my reality, but it has. I really want something different. I want to be back in perfect balance with nature. I live in the "suburbs" of America. Walking around my neighborhood bare feet will probably get me labeled a "kook". LOL. But I feel like I need to do it. I think I'm going to get the Xero shoes - an ad on your video I watched all the way through - so hopefully you'll make some money from your video. Anyway - thanks for your video. Keep it up.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Consider starting a small victory garden! You will get to be barefoot, grow the healthiest food possible, get some good exercise and sunshine... check out my playlist on Gardening & Permaculture on my channel if you're interested :)

Commiting to Rewilding is key. I've been on this path for 10 years.

[@peacefulliving6432]

I love being barefooted. I feel so connected to the earth that way. Especially, when I am walking on the ocean shoreline. I remember when I was a kid we never ever wore shoes outside in the yard. Climbing trees with our monkey toes. 😆 Good times.

The whole thing about “arch support“ is absurd when you think about it. The arch IS the support.

I started driving bear foot. I even feel more connected to my car. Wish I drive stick/ manual. Barefoot 1st. I think 2020 is the new change.. in phoinex all my viggie/vegan small companys. Still rocking. P.s. your auto ADS. Are the best🤣🤣. You saying NO!. all the ads are yes on shoes. I can't breath 😂

Hi Josh! This just came across my Facebook feed, even though you made it before!! Hows the crocheting coming along? Sending good vibes your way!

[@normanshadow1]

When we were kids living on our farm (60 years ago) we took our shoes of in May and never wore them till the fall. Flip flops if we had to and of course shoes for church. Our feet were tough!

[@theamishpotato]

Fully agree with your thoughts on health. So many people are wearing masks and taking the jab because they’re scared shitless of dying from this virus all the while constantly dumping sodas and twinkies down their throat. I’m with you. I’m 38, have been eating healthy for a few years and up to 5 miles a week running barefoot and feeling better then I ever have. Keep preaching it brother!

[@charlesdaniel9648]

You look great for 35 brother keep up the good work

[@BattBenn]

At home i'm always barefoot (even in my backyard). When I leave home I wear shoes to avoid bacteria.

[@claritstv]

I love walking barefoot too and it feels good. I feel happier and free. If you can feel the sensation while touching the ground with your feet.

[@teej4156]

As a kid use to go barefoot aa much as possible up to 18 years old. Then moved to the south from the midwest and broken glass was everywhere. Every since then it's been hard to go barefoot. Better have one foot scrubber at the door because walking on rugs and carpet and putting feet on the furniture or bed with filthy feet is something I couldn't deal with from myself or others in my home. Seems like thorn stickers and glass would poke through the thin soles of the Zero shoes so really don't see the point in them.

[@keoni4665]

What do you plan to do during winter?

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

When I started going barefoot I also noticed these things, and concluded that shoe indoctrination and concrete everywhere is a total conspiracy! :) Thanks for sharing and stay curious 🙏

[@phoenixakari]

What does your dad and sister think about your whole barefoot movement with them being podiatrists?

[@normanshadow1]

I had never heard of Earthing but a few years ago on mushrooms, they asked me to take my sandals off, kind of honoring the earth. That was cool

[@truthseeker5968]

What do you do in the winter?

[@slamberg84]

The same thing happened to me. I just started getting annoyed with shoes and I couldnt really find comfortable shoes anymore. I decided to ditch my shoes and I feel a lot happier, present and alive

[@pokerchannel6991]

how do I tough my feet? Do I bring a rock box or a rough box inside the house and step on it? To toughen up my feet.? How do I train my feet?

[@maesyoutube]

I'm totally with you there, walking barefoot as much as I can for over a year now. I could really relate to the part about people looking at me like I'm crazy :) For some walks I did, I would have needed those basic sandals, when there are like several miles of of spikey stones, that poke in the parts of my feat, that have no calluses. But I can't get through the whole winter barefoot. Do you have a strategy for when it gets colder?

[@heni63]

Maybe special socks, that keep warm but are still like barefoot

[@marcelobarefoot3549]

Hi Ton! Nice to meet another barefoot friend!!!

[@TanyaNan-ps7ft]

Love to hear your input ….. originally shoes did not have rubber soles ..:: reading that that’s when alot of fibromyalgia etc started coincidentally or maybe not at the time that main stream foot wear switched from animal to rubber… cutting off our connection to the earth. 3 years ago o moved to belize and it is common not to wear shoes here even in the bank etc … and I have not felt better as well as many people I meet that have lived like this as well. Some truth you think.?

[@YOUENJOYLIFE]

Yes, exactly

[@TanyaNan-ps7ft]

Haha sorry should have waited to 10 minutes 30 seconds to see you mention that concept lol

This is combination with mushrooms will make you unstoppable. I waited until I was in my 40s to discover this. Young people, walk barefoot and eat mushrooms!

[@Kahandran]

I used to go barefoot everywhere as a kid. I also used to hate socks. Now I'm 26 and wear socks all the time and seriously questioning my life lmao... I might have to take it slow but I'm gonna try going barefoot more often. But how do you deal with tracking dirt into the house?

[@YOUENJOYLIFE]

I keep my feet clean

[@GreggMichaelPhotogra]

You will bring more dirt in the house from shoes then barefoot.

[@Summer21.]

If you also clean your shoes before you come into the house, take them off and put them in one place and don’t wear them around the house, you won’t track dirt around the house either. 😃

[@TracyKMainwaring]

Since everything changed in March, I haven't had to wear shoes much. Here in Canada, we don't tend to wear shoes in the house anyway. I hate the feeling of being barefoot though, so I wear cloth slippers in the house.

[@Taffer-bx7uc]

Age doesn't really matter IF you take proper care of yourself. I'm 38 and my friend is 50 and he can keep up with me when we exercise. He's actually stronger then me when we lift weights.

[@TheCynedd]

I do not like wearing shoes, I do not drive wearing shoes, I do not sew wearing shoes, I like to walk without shoes. Being practical, in the winter I wear boots in the snow😊 It is almost comical that, in the summer, I can put on the flimsiest pair of flip-flops and not be bothered and my feet are all but bare (of course, I do not mind having the barrier between the steaming asphalt and the soles of my feet).

You may benefit from 1 teaspoon of local raw honey a day for your allergies. Love how weird (connected) you are. Stay you man. Was wondering are you still grilling or are you turning more to a vegetarian life style?

My grandma told me about that. It's an old recipe. Camomile tea with local honey and a lemon wedge. Supposedly it helps with allergies.
