Don't look at the sun, but rather what it illuminates

After work I like to change into sandals or flops, and the other day a few coworkers were just flabbergasted that anyone would choose to not wear shoes at all times?

I've got no qualms with the shoe wearing majority, but I do have a problem with big shoe trying to brainwash us from a very young age.

I know I'm probably in the minority, so if you put on a safety pin will you also make a safe space for those who enjoy walking barefoot and those who need their feet bound tight for support, it'll really help. I've been going to walks without shoes and it's pretty neat.

Are you a dirty footer or a bound up hoofer?

E: not a fetish, promise :heysexy:

If you got really good at walking on your hands and wore shoes on your hands you could go barefoot FOREVER.

Foot funk goes down when you aren't imprisoning your foot in fabric 24/7 I always am telling people.

Give it a go, walk in some grass plus just FYI the water running over your feet doesn't really get the job done either.

One time I was at some punk show and this barefoot dude showed up, like he wasnt poor it was his lifestyle choice to always be barefoot. Had calloused black feet and all the bazang, acted a little smug for smashing the shoe establishment or something. So my friend mumbled some bullshit about how he hates that dude and started smashing a bunch of beer bottles on the sidewalk in front of the venue. Thats why I always wear shoes

I wear shoes where they are required and where I feel safer doing so. Otherwise, flip-flops or bare feet.

Wait like wearing shoes in your house even? What the gently caress, why would you wear shoes in your own goddamn house, is your house so filthy you can't even let your socks/bare feet touch the floor?

Is this an American thing?

The people I referenced in the OP said they always gotta be wearing shoes. Do they have slippers, I didn't probe my proboscis deep enough

A friend of my wife was visiting from England and decided to not wear shoes when we went for a walk on the causeway. Granted, it is the beach, but this is Florida. When she stepped on a needle I said "That's why we wear shoes outside here." She shot me a dirty look while my wife held back laughter. Who the gently caress doesn't wear shoes outside?

some people wear their filthy loving shoes inside. Just kick those suckers off before a shower, if you bother to take one, maybe go to bed with them on. Living in a goddamn pigsty and they don't even care.

Feet are gross. I wear socks and shoes to bed and if I'm lucky enough to get laid I wear socks and shoes and nothing else. I also don't take them off to take a shower either.

Shoes in the house is a convenience for people who actually have a life that involves leaving the house.

Preferably not on the carpet, though.



Edit: Sandals all nonworking days, for me. Chacos, not degenerate flip flops, of course.

I think having shoes off and playing in the backyard as a kid is what got me those intestinal parasites that make me bum itch.

quote:

Current research targets Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and asthma.

Helminthic infection has emerged as one possible explanation for the low incidence of autoimmune diseases and allergies in less developed countries, together with the significant and sustained increase in autoimmune diseases in industrialized countries.

But that doesn't really explain your current butt itchies
