Have you already been barefoot for so long that you couldn't wear shoes anymore?

I just had a month long beach holiday in hot climate. I was barefoot 24/7. Now, I can't stand shoes anymore and that's horrible

Oh wow, that sounds like an absolute dream of a holiday! But I get what you mean about the shoe dilemma 😅. Going from feeling the sand between your toes all day to squeezing into shoes can feel like a mission impossible. Your feet have probably gotten so used to the freedom and natural movements that any confinement feels odd. Maybe start with something super comfy and open, like sandals or flip-flops, and gradually work your way up to more enclosed shoes? Giving your feet a little bit of time to adjust back might help ease the transition. And who knows, maybe you'll find new styles that feel just as freeing. How are you coping with the adjustment so far?

Shoes have pros and cons, @Fashionista Amy, as you are well aware.

Every summer was a crisis since I was teaching and hadn't worn footwear in 10 weeks.

[Dreamclouds]

[Asker]

Oh that's sad. Do you sometimes go to hot places?

[Dreamclouds]

yes the seaside

[Asker]

Do you still wear shoes and socks there?

[Dreamclouds]

no, only place I don't the warm sand is so nice

[Asker]

So do you understand why I don't want to wear shoes anymore?

[Dreamclouds]

no, not really, do you always step on warm sand?

[Asker]

No but the sensation of freedom is still there

[Dreamclouds]

That sounds really nice and intoxicating in a nice way

[Asker]

Oh yes but I have to wear those damn shoes in the streets

[Dreamclouds]

sorry to hear that, I wish your feet would be always free
