Unfortunately I have to decide that going barefoot everywhere is not for me. Maybe not yet, maybe not ever.  In my house and on grass I&#8217;m fine. My feet like it. On rougher grounds however, no matter how short the distance and how much I practice, it&#8217;s not working for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I gave it as many tries as I could over the past years. As long as the weather was acceptable, my feet got the opportunity to get used to all kinds of surfaces and I didn&#8217;t start with pebbles, trust me. I read up on the tips <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">on<\/g> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Walking Barefoot (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/walking-barefoot\" target=\"_blank\">Walking Barefoot<\/a>, followed some barefoot-walking people on Twitter and nothing seems to work. My feet have the last word in this and that word is &#8216;no&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Barefoot walking\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NNQYM8Fjxp4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a tonne of information on how to do it, what to avoid and all that. Maybe I will give this another try next summer. It&#8217;s definitely getting too cold for my feet now: a combination of the wrong temperature <strong>and<\/strong> the wrong surface is a no-no for me. And if I never make it to walking barefoot on anything rougher than grass: so be it. I made it to my current age with shoes. I&#8217;ll probably make it to the end of it that way too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power to you, all barefoot people. It&#8217;s great that you do what you do. But someone has to keep the shoe manufacturers in business! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We probably all have heard about it and \/ or know about it.
