Did you ever walk barefoot in the streets?

Question

Some people say it’s healthy and that it’s good for the circulation and for our feet. Is that true or just BS?

Flower7 · Accepted Answer

I don't think that's healthy at all. The streets often have trash, broken glass, rocks, etc. That's very unsanitary and could also cause cuts to the feet. If you're concerned about circulation, just go barefoot while you're at home. That should be enough time to get circulation. If you feel that's still not enough circulation, you can wear sandals outside, if it's warm enough. But I think walking barefoot outside would cause problems instead of preventing them.

I never walked barefooted on the streets. But I have walked barefooted outside to my driveway it felt pretty good, and it's okay. I could never imagine walking barefoot from my home all the way to the park though.

But there is so much stuff on footpaths, not a good idea.
Daftest thing about this , I was in Durban, South Africa. Been in the sea I thought I would walk back to the hotel bare foot but the tiles on the foot path where too hot so I started walking on the grass at the side , until this beach guy said I wouldn't go that the snakes hide in the grass. You cannot win...

Yeah, in the summertime I always walk around barefoot. The street where I live is pretty smooth and I live in a very small neighborhood anyway, so I don't think there's anything to worry about. My podiatrist even told me it's good for your feet so i don't see why I shouldn't do it

Guess growing up in the country was different than the City. When I was growing up we went barefoot everywhere. we played barefoot all day. We had a large grassy area Between my mothers & my sisters house. My Grandmothers house had been torn down so there was a large open lot so he had plenty of room to play in the grass. When we go to my parents summer camp, all the roads over to the lake was diet under trees so there really not much asphalt that we had to walk on. Doesn't matter shoes or not summer was a lot of fun when we were kids.

Thats a very unattractive feet, maybe Im used to looking at my own. 😂 do not feel offended. And yes, i have walked bare foot on the streets before. It was abit embarrassing because i lost my shoes at that time.

kibbenkat · Answer

I do down my private road and across the molch and dirt in my yard. It's sharp but I'm pretty careful about it. I have some hard calluses so I don’t get cut so easily

Not where I live, since I live in a downtown area you will never catch me barefoot outside haha. But I do walk barefoot in my home though. That’s because I don’t wear shoes inside of my place, so it’s fine:)

The streets here are made of black asphalt. Walking barefoot on that will burn your feet in the sun.

It feels good sometimes. Some resort islands allow it. Otherwise, walking from sandy beaches onto streets 'til I reach my vehicle.

IslanderSparkle_Siki · Answer

I don't stay barefoot even in my house but I stay barefoot when I go to temples, when walking on grass and the at beach, especially walking on waves.

BloJo · Answer

Keeping your feet warm stimulates circulation. Generally speaking, your feet will be warmer in socks and shoes than bare.

I am frequently barefoot in my own home, but I can control the temperature and the surface. I would much rather be wearing shoes while walking on
glass, rocks, and any other litter that may be in the road.

Haha no. Shoes are for protection and even then doesn’t always work. Have you ever stepped on a nail or piece of glass? Spoiler alert, it hurts!

Never! Do you really want you feet where dogs have peed and crapped? Where people have spat? Even on our beach, I wear flip-flops or sandals.

kaymacd · Answer

actually yes, I've done it so many time. A few times drunk but other times with friends just randomly

Our ground is dirty and sharp, you can easily cut yourself and cause a serious infection.

JackSmy · Answer

A few times, to a little brook, or tiny lake, and just feeling the stones and soft mud is really nice! Watch out for Leeches!! :) :)

Yes I have & I was a stupid asshole for doing it & I learned that the pavement was HOT as well. Ouch!

In the summer as a mid teenager into my mid 20s I would as I liked the freedom, then I discovered I had an 1cm instep and so need support. Avoid canine pavement toffee though.

AaronKrieger · Answer

I have before, but it's probably not healthy. I do have calluses on my feet and toes fora reason.

coffeewithcream · Answer

Humans walked for hundreds of thousands of years with bare feet.  Walking on street pavement or packed black bitumen wouldn't provide the same benefits to walking on the cool good earth.
