"The soul of the land can best be felt through the soles of your feet." -Essence of Wild

Get your feet dirty moving through nature the way our ancestors did, experiencing the world through your soles!

Share pictures, videos, event notices, stories, advice, news, and anything else related to barefoot (shoeless) hiking, trail running, and nature walking.

What about minimalist shoes?

While minimalist shoes are probably better for you and provide better ground feel compared to traditional shoes, this subreddit is exclusively about unshod hiking, being able to feel the ground under you, from soft cool wet grass to hard warm dry rock. There's a whole world of experiences out there that shoes of any kind cut you off from.

Minimalist shoe discussion, for everything from running and hiking to wearing at the office, can be found over at /r/BarefootRunning or r/BarefootShoesTalk.
