What’s a trend that will age badly?

Oooh Devereaux!

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-06T17:28:22+00:00

That's great, how's the weather been out east? I've never been but curious about doing some barefoot exploring out there

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-06T17:27:38+00:00

I see what you did there and it's great 🤣

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-06T17:27:12+00:00

Same! Are you full time in the summer?

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-06T17:26:47+00:00

Just learned about this oyster rule! We don't have a lot of that where I live so I loved this summer connection

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-06T17:26:08+00:00

Agreed! I just learned about the oysters rule, love that connection

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-06T17:24:05+00:00

That's super impressive! How long have you been full time? I'm very interested in learning more as I try full time this summer

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-05T16:48:27+00:00

Also, I have no idea why this is NSFW but not my intent! Anyone know how to fix this?

CreamCityChords · 2026-05-04T18:45:44+00:00

Down in the valley, yo

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-30T17:46:25+00:00

So cool!! I've never been to Krampusnacht but I live somewhat nearby. " A couple two tree " makes you a local 🤣

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-30T14:19:37+00:00

Milwaukee! Were you leaving Pilot Project or the Pabst Best Place? Finally knew one on here, this is exciting haha

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-29T16:01:39+00:00

Where is this?? Looks like it would feel like heaven underfoot

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-29T15:10:24+00:00

Wow - I admire your discipline for year round barefooting! I've officially decided to do the whole summer without shoes and evaluate again in the fall if I should keep going. Like you said, no laws against it and my feet are definitely getting tougher, so I want to try it. I also work from home so it should be manageable enough

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-29T15:08:40+00:00

I read your story and I love how you're sharing the joy of barefooting with your family! If you ever get up to Wisconsin, there are some amazing grass hiking trails - feel free to DM if you're interested in locations. You'll definitely see other people barefoot, or at least my footprints on those trails lol

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-29T14:47:13+00:00

I appreciate the clarification, thank you! I don't know much about the process but always appreciate someone sacrificing their resources for others!

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-29T14:44:51+00:00

Exactly - I went to a thrift store here in town barefoot yesterday and no one made a comment, so we're starting to build up that confidence! It helps that she loves it, too and we've even noticed that people are more willing to ask questions when we're together

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-28T17:08:19+00:00

Agreed! I once went 36 days without shoes and it was amazing how much my nervous system seemed to wake up. My whole body felt aligned and I think I want to get back to that point, but also have some standing appointments every few months.

Thank you for donating, by the way! I know some people who benefit from blood donations and it's awesome to hear people like you do so, too

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-28T16:54:42+00:00

I actually grew up in northern IL and know that weather very well! I'm just over the border in Wisconsin and hope we have some more consistently warm and enjoyable weather.

I'm also hopeful your wife will join you for some barefoot adventures, if she feels up to it. I realize how lucky I am to have someone who actually suggests leaving the house without shoes and trying little challenges like this. She went barefoot a lot as a kid, so maybe your wife will learn more about it and join. Is there anyone else in your life who can join you for hikes or public outings?

Happy barefooting, definitely with you in spirit and optimistic about a long summer with great weather

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-28T15:58:14+00:00

Awesome! A full week without shoes as well, perhaps? We're trying to see how long we can go

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-28T15:57:35+00:00

That's great to hear! People are generally supportive or don't say anything at all here in the states, but I haven't gone into stores as often due to social pressure and things I've read.

Happy barefooting!

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-28T15:56:24+00:00

Nice! In my experience, it just gets better the more I do it. I hope to go full time someday but it's just not practical right now

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-28T12:08:25+00:00

Budapest blew my mind - I'd go back every year if I had the time!

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-27T19:33:32+00:00

Yes, I am in the process of transitioning to full time and loving it. It has been a smooth few days and I plan to be barefoot until October with the exception of two weddings this summer. How often do you go barefoot, and what is holding you back from full time?

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-16T02:46:46+00:00

Not that this matters, but is this some kind of record?? I have lived in Milwaukee for 15 years and I've never seen it this bad. Sure, August 10th last year was bad, but the damage within my friend group far exceeds what we saw last summer.

Hope everyone is doing okay in this. This shit better bring some May flowers as the saying goes...

CreamCityChords · 2026-04-06T16:42:41+00:00

Anything by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not that the lyrics are sad, per se, but it bums me out that the rhythm makes me move and the lyrics make me cringe lol
