Lifetime barefooter here and 62 now. I have always gone barefoot everywhere, shops, city, parks etc but over the last few months have started doing longer barefoot walks. Usually 10-15kms but sometimes less, usually on a Saturday or Sunday. What a difference walks like this make to your feet and general feeling of health! My soles are now tougher and smoother and my feet are certainly wider than they were previously. My walks are generally a mix of pavements and grass and the feelings transmitted through my soles is amazing. On my last walk it was so cool when another guy was walking towards me also barefoot and smiled and said hello! Would love to have stopped and had a chat.
Barefoot is the absolute best and more people should try it!
Being barefoot is definitely the right choice for me in almost all situations. I feel so much more present and in the moment when I can feel the ground under my feet. I totally know the feeling of meeting another barefoot person. It's such a rare sight that I am always happy when it happens.
Hey, guys, did you ever notice that when you wiggle your toes, your big toe moves in opposition to your other four toes? This is because it is an opposable digit, just like the thumb. You don't see this on the paws of quadrupeds. We have opposable big toes because in our evolutionary past, we had four hands, just like Old World monkeys and apes still do. Our feet used to be hands. The sole of the foot is the same kind of sensory organ as the palm of the hand, and shoes are as much sensory deprivation as if you wore thick, rigid rubber slabs on the palms of your hands.
I started wiggling my toes and trying to move the toes individually a few weeks ago after reading that we can technically articulate our toes individually. There is definite progress but it is very slow going. But, in general, my feet have changed a lot since I stop putting casts on them ;)
Like you, i went barefoot overnight. It took a few weeks for my feet to toughen up but soon enough I was able to do everything barefoot on the farm that everyone else does in boots. I find my bare feet so practical and comfortable now
That is great! Glad to hear it worked for you!
Lovely video! I've been going barefoot around the house for about half a year and finally started walking barefoot outside regularly two weeks ago. I can already feel the difference in the thickness of the skin. After seeing yours, I'm glad to see they can become tough but still look normal! Thanks for sharing!
Happy it helps 🙂 Yeah, the toes get a bit wider, the arch rises, and the skin gets tougher but no one would notice. Good luck on your barefoot journey!
Ich bin schon als Kind gerne barfuß gelaufen. Vor einigen Monaten fing ich an ganz barfuß zu leben. Es bekommt mir sehr gut, speziell meinem Rücken und meinem Nacken. Und natürlich meinen Füßen, die viel kräftiger und unempfindlicher geworden sind. Meine Frau läuft nie barfuß, nimmt aber Rücksicht darauf , dass ich barfuß langsamer bin als sie. So kann ich auch bei unseren gemeinsamen Unternehmungen immer barfuß sein. Danke für das tolle Video!
Mein Mann ist auch Schuhträger, aber unterstützt mich da voll und ganz 🙂 Sehr viel wert.
I loved your video and reading your story with the video. So well told; your words, the accompanying pictures and the music. I found it logical and calming; quite inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
@@RootsandCalluses you’re welcome 😊
Oh, beautfull feets!
Das ist eine super, danke fürs Mitteilen deiner Werdegangs!👍 Ich habe das Barfußlaufen auch vor ca. eineinhalb Jahren entdeckt habe und das Freiheitsgefühl an den Füßen und die Sensorik unter den Sohlen ist unbeschreiblich und möchte ich nicht mehr vermissen!! 😍😍
Ich hoffe, dass ich es schaffe bis zum Winter selbst fuer unseren fortgeschrittenen Wald keine Schuhe mehr zu brauchen, selbst wenn ich schnell laufen moechte. Und diesen Winter wird mich die Depression hoffentlich nicht drinnen halten koennen.
@@RootsandCalluses Das wünsche ich dir sehr! 💚👍
ein schönes Video
ja, Barfuß ist was sehr angenehmes, ich bin auch so oft wie möglich BF unterwegs.

Nice view. Today, people frown when you walk barefoot. I walk in winter or summer in nature because there are too many broken glasses in the city. It's so light and you calm down and get quiet. I want to feel!
I go grocery shopping and all that barefoot, too. The good thing about cities is that everything is so flat and "perfect" that you see issues right away. I think the last time I wore any kind of protection in a city was when we had visitors and they wanted to see the Reeperbahn (Hamburg, Germany) at night where everyone is drunk and glass is everywhere. In the dark, I was glad I had sandals.
Do you walk on broken glass when wearing shoes?
Love your barefoot lifestyle
In some places, being barefoot in stores and restaurants is illegal. I know a couple who go barefoot almost all the time, and they keep sandals in their car for when they have to go where shoes are mandatory.
Luckily, things are a lot less strict where I live. I can go grocery shopping and such without shoes. I have yet to be kicked out somewhere. I know especially the US is a bit more strict here, though "illegal" is often not actually true. While there seem to be laws for employees, customers usually don't have to fulfill those requirements and it's only the store policy, not a law.
🔴Why I live barefoot ❓ Very simple: because I was born (in 1959) to live barefoot ❗☺
BARE FEET ARE HAPPY FEET : 🦶🏻🦶🏻= ✌🏻💚
I bet you can feel the earth with your feet while being connected to Mother Nature.
I definitely feel a lot more connected to my surroundings. I feel much more present when my feet can feel the ground.
@@RootsandCalluses 1. How often do you wash your feet?
2. When was the first time you had a pedicure?
3. What are the most ticklish parts of your feet?
4. Have you ever used your feet like hands?
Interesting questions 🤣
1. Every time I come back home from outside plus before going to bed.
2. I might have had one in California, so sometime around 2014? But I am not sure. I don't get them at all.
3. I am only ticklish when I want to be.
4. I grab things with my feet or hold things with my feet regularly. I remember one part of the roof project where I was holding the metal edging with my foot while working with my hands. But that isn't really using it like a hand. Toes are just too short for a lot of tasks.
Thanks Kate for sharing all your videos, I really enjoyed binge watching since I’m just a recent subscriber I’ve gone back and watched several of them and hope to finish all of them by the end of this year. Every one of these videos has been so interesting and rather calming. I’ve now added you to my three top Binge watching channels: Elise Buch, Johanna’s Dream Home, Roots and Calluses!!! ❤❤Judy❤❤
Now I have to check out those two channels. Thanks for the recommendation! But mostly, thank you for the very kind words. It is a real compliment that someone would choose to binge my videos.
Sehr schönes Video, barfuß gehe ich seit über 10 Jahren und seitdem besitze ich keine Schuhe und Socken mehr. weil ich mich so sehr an das Freiheitsgefühl und an die unterschiedlichen Temperaturen gewöhnt habe.
Wollsocken trage ich nur noch daheim im Winter :D
@@RootsandCalluses Okay :) Meine Füße müssen immer frei sein, sonst fühle ich mich nicht wohl.
@@Barefootboy_31 Die Wollsocken sind einige Nummern zu gross :D Aber ich hasse sie auch wie die Pest. Aber heizen ist halt teuer und manchmal geht es dann nicht anders im kalten norddeutschen Winter ;)
@@RootsandCalluses Stimmt in Norddeutschland ist es oft kühler als bei mir in Sachsen. Ich habe selbst im Winter wenn es kalt ist keine Socken und auch keine Heizung an, weil die Wohnung immer warm ist. Die liegt auf der Sonnenseite.
@@Barefootboy_31 Das klingt sehr gut. Bei uns geht das leider gar nicht.
great job I have been full time barefooter for 3 yrs now 👣👣👣👣👣
Congratulations for sticking with it for so long :)
What a very interesting video Kate. It's surprising how intact your feet are. I'm sure you are an inspiration to others. Supporting your channel. Enjoying watching in full 😊
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my work. I am always surprised what feet can handle. Sure, I get scratched up or poked occasionally but nothing major. Right now, my feet are scratched from fighting with blackberry brambles on my property but so is much of the rest of my body :D
If I understood correctly you started barefooting because of chronic back pain? I have had disabilitating chronic back pain for 15 years when I stopped wearing shoes the back pain also stopped. I now hike barefoot on all surfaces 5 to 15 km a day. If I have to wear shoes for any reason my back starts hurting in less than 1 hour. Diferent paths, same destination. I just have one ( i think construtive) criticism, cut the music and the subtitles . I personatly would rather here your words as over voice over reading them. much more personal and relatable. Live long and barefoot!
The music and subtitles are a preference. I have a channel where I talk and this was supposed to be a calm quiet one 🙂
Yes, back pain was the main reason but it was a lot of little things that added up. I am really happy to hear barefooting has helped you as much as me.
Hi there, being a barefooter myself, it was great watching the video seeing you barefoot. Have you noticed any changes to your feet since you started going barefoot 2.5 years ago?
Yes, definitely. There is a lot more muscle tone now. The fallen arches have lifted. The toes are spreading. The ankles c n handle slipping and falling.
For some reason the sandals are underestimated (big comfy sandals)
I really like them for convenience. But they make me lazy. I scratch and hurt my feet a lot more in them because they let me not pay attention to where I'm walking.
I never wore shoes when I was a kid and even in my teen years. I have seen on another channel where a lady called it "earthing" I don't know about that but I like walking bare foot....until I step on a wasp in the grass or worse a cow killer. Those hurt worse.
You may not have those where you live but I have to ask if toughening your feet up helps when you step on a wasp? Does it make your skin tougher so you can feel it as bad? Thank you if you have time to answer.
I don't know about grounding or earthing. I'm a scientist and the electron transfer stuff sounds questionable to me. But I definitely feel better when I am outside with a connection to the ground. I've stepped on bees and wasps before but all before going fully barefoot. I'd assume it would be a lot harder to get stung now. Did you see the pinned comment? There's a video on my feet, and there's also a full article defending my choice to go barefoot.
I love bare female feet, and yours are just as pretty as they are tough. This kinda makes me want to try barefooting myself, but my flat feet and faulty ankles makes it impossible. I literally need hiking boots for long walks.
You don't have to go all in. Start on easy ground like earth, grass, or moss. Your flat feet and ankles will get stronger. My ankles were very weak when I started, my arch completely collapsed.
You got a knifeholder from IKEA
Quite possible. It has moved around the world with us for a few years.
@@RootsandCalluses my wife bought one few weeks ago, that’s why I know its from Ikea
I no longer buy from IKEA but there are a lot of old or used IKEA things in this house. Make sure to dry the knives very well before putting them in and soak the holder occasionally. Wooden holders aren't ideal and critters can enjoy the crumbs and yuck that gets into the thin slits. We haven't had issues yet with it but I have seen other wooden knife holders where animals started crawling out when it was submerged, so I am a bit overly cautious with the thing.
❤👣🔥
I can be barefoot if no one is looking.
That is sad. Society and its expectations has really done a number on our self-esteem, hasn't it?
Nice enjoying video but pls don't hurt your beautiful feet.
I will do my best 🙂
How long have you been barefoot for
2.5-3 years
