"yes James. Remove that from my presence. It... Offends me" *sips overpriced wine*
I used to run barefoot, but I also lived in a small town in interior BC, so the worst I had to contend with was inconveniently shaped small rocks. When I moved to Vancouver I tried out the toe shoes, but they fit me poorly and looked retarded. Eventually found other shoes that fit a similar slot.

That said, being barefoot ~all the time~ in a modern environment just makes you look like a dirty piece of poo poo, unless you live in a hot, arid, place, with sand instead of soil. Anything else will grind its way into your soles and stain them over time.

If you're interested in a lighter shoe/more barefoot feel without looking like a twat, Merrel makes their "glove" series shoes, and I'm sure New Balance and some others have.


But really people that go barefoot are just doing it for the same reason go paleo; idiocy and elitism.

OP, buy a new pair of shoes right now. In 6 months look at the wear and tear of the shoes. That's what would be happening to your feet if you didn't wear them.

Wear loving shoes.

Not that the op is anything but an idiot, but skin regrows and stuff, shoes don't.

He should still just get some loving shoes.
