G'day All Short time reader, first time poster...just delving into the barefoot material and about to crack on with the recommended audio book. I'm a massive advocate for running around barefoot as to me it's just comfortable, as a heavy diesel mechanic who wears boots for 10 plus hours a day I try to wear as little on my feet as possible when I'm not working. Which coincidentally gets me in trouble with my partner when I traipes dirt into the house or probably more importantly when I'm doing cabinetry work for our renos sans shoes. I found barefoot shoes many years ago when I was working on and around boats in NZ and absolutely loved them but since then I haven't gotten back into them...a few days ago when I ordered a new pair online (here's hoping they fit). Anyway, this actually feels like a bit of a nothing post. I guess I'm just curious as to who if anyone else wears them or has considered wearing them? I do understand that you don't get all the benefits of being completely barefoot but from my experience they do allow you to mould around what ever is under your foot and I can assure you when running or walking through the bush you still have to be careful as sharp objects will still cause you some pain.
