How to walk barefoot without discomfort?

[Anonymous]

I never walk barefoot and I would like to change that.

I actualy like being barefoot in sandals or on the blanket but touching the ground with my feet is impossible to me.

To you have any tips for this? I'm sick of wearing flip-flops at home or at the beach where it's inappropriate.

What is exactly the discomfort you are feeling while barefoot? While I agree that at the beach, I do not want shoes or sandals on, I do not walk around barefoot anywhere else. Where I am from, that could be dangerous and bad for health. Just the nature of being in a large city.

The only time I am barefoot is if I go swimming, at the beach or walking around our house. I don't particular care for socks when I am at home. Any other time I have shoes or sandals on.

I think you are going to find that most establishments have a rule about footwear. While you may be able to walk around in public, there are many places that will require shoes or footwear. Are you going to carry sandals or something with you? Doesn't seem practical.

Again, what is the discomfort you are feeling from being barefoot? Is it a physical discomfort or a mental thing? Just some context will let me answer better. I will revise if you update the question or reply to my opinion.

It's mainly physical discomfort because my soles never touch the ground because of me always wearing shoes since childhood. With time it also became psychological.
I would like to be able to walk barefoot at home, beach, swimming pool and even on the grass

... what's stopping you from touching the ground, einzeller?

[Asker]

I'm just not habituated

[Asker]

I feel vulnerable

[Agape93]

That's still not stopping you from touching the ground. Get over it.

[Asker]

I'm just asking advices to do it little by little. I'm already able to walk with only socks on

[Agape93]

Just put your foot on your porch.

[Asker]

First I should try inside the house

[Agape93]

No. Outside, do it now.

[Asker]

I can do it but what I want is to be comfortable with it

[Agape93]

Controlled discomfort is good for your confidence. Get on with it.

Watch out for sharp objects when walking barefoot. I think you should should practice first in your house then yard. Once you get comfortable then try walking barefoot at the beach.

You just walk around barefoot more often. You have to develop calluses on your feet to protect them from stones and that kind of thing.

I think you should start slowly. Start by feeling the sand abd grass in your soles. Also if it's a confidence problem, decorate your feet a little. There are many benefits in walking barefoot and if you wish to know more, you can message me

Is it impossible because it hurts your feet or cause it’s a metal thing as far as feeling like the ground is dirty or something?

[Shamalien]

I love walking barefoot, done it a lot since a kid. Go on something rough to develop faster. Just make sure to take breaks to heal

[Guy13]

One slow step at a time

[Asker]

Yes I should begin slowly but my feet feel really strange on the ground

[joeldalton]

Why is it impossible?
