>>2547219>Has anyone here tried it? What did you think of it?It's cool. Very pleasant and therapeutic once you get used to it. And I've really learned to appreciate the utility that strong feet provide. I also like that they don't smell anymore, now that I let them properly breathe. Over the past 10+ years now I've done sand, grass, mud, gravel, even snow in limited capacity. I spent a full winter giving my bare feet daily snow baths and got rid of a fungal infection that way, no meds needed.
There is definitely a risk factor involved, which is why you'd be smart to bring emergency shoes with you, even if it is just a pair of Crocs. You DON'T want to expose any open cuts or wounds to all that bacterial dirt, okay? So uninjured, healthy feet only. Anon above mentioned thorns, and that's the reason I always carry a multitool (Vic Deluxe Tinker) with pliers with me. Should you step on some, those pliers will make it much easier to pluck them out.
Also, don't barefoot on shit. Any muddy ground that is contaminated by feces introduces the risk of hookworm infection. Druggie AIDS needles are also something worth avoiding.
There's a risk vs. reward-thing going on when you go out and about barefoot, but if you find a nice, safe location... sure, why not? Because in the right place it feels fucking fantastic.
