What is it with people who just have to let their precious goddamn feet be free? What does "better foot health" even mean? I wear shoes and socks everyday and my feet are clean, comfortable, safe, warm, dry, and I fit in. What could be better?

I still have a bit of trouble understanding how every thinks it's so gross to go barefoot in a grocery store or whatever, but I can clearly see how overwhelmingly see how negative the response is. I get annoyed when people treat public spaces like their living room. Not everybody wants to look at your dirty calloused feet, even if they don't stink. Maybe I'm uptight or a snob or judgmental but when I see people out and about who look gross because they just don't give a gently caress I get a little bummed out. People are so strongly against this because a large part of the appeal is so obviously lording "look at how free I am" over everyone. Why else would people call it "the barefoot lifestyle" if it wasn't to feel superior? Any "barefoot enthusiast" could slide on a number of minimalist shoe choices and instantly nobody notices them anymore, but being noticed is the point. As for the part about "developing" the soles of our feet, what is the merit? It doesn't take hard work or have health benefits, like getting a sixpack. It doesn't happen as a matter of course, like a chef who develops callouses because using a knife is essential to his livelihood. Nobody questions why certain parts of our bodies are "underdeveloped" because we already know everything is developed to pretty much the level we need. A coal miner's shoulders are more developed than a computer programmer's because that's what he or she needs.
