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 agree and I never did it. But I saw many barefooters in the streets recently (before corona hit) and it made me wonder as to why someone would do that!
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.

Yeah, the reason I asked this is because I noticed many people walking barefoot recently, either jogging or walking their dogs and I never understood why!
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...

Oh God! I’m terrified of snakes! I never did it but I saw many people barefoot in the streets so I was wondering!
I do enjoy it , walking bare foot. The villa I sometimes used. It was a company thing. This was in South of France. All the floors were marble or similar. Upstairs were bare wood with small rugs. It was great I enjoyed walking around bare foot, a lot of the time nothing else as well...
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.

These aren’t my feet lol. But yeah, I know what you mean.
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

You have to be careful ofc! And long live the calluses
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:)

Yeah inside your place is fine ofc! I saw barefooters here where I live in the downtown area too, so it made me wonder!
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.
@Asker it used to be natural once before mobile phones invaded people's personal life and gaming technology, people used to connect with nature more, with grass mud sand rain wind the fivd elements that constitutes our body Air, Fire, Water, Vaccum we have lost the core values in a sense
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!

I never walked barefoot in my own apartment, let alone outside in the streets. Before this whole COVID-19 pandemic broke out though, I noticed some people jogging barefoot and it’s been on my mind ever since. Why?
