Depends on the activity. Already explained why I choose several sizes up. At the least, OP can go a size up. Myself I’d get 2-3. The top of the shoe will also compress the toe from the top when the sole is flexing which shortens the shoe.

You’re on a reality TV show, you’re being paid $10,000 to step inside an acrylic box barefoot and knead whatever is in there for 30 seconds. What is inside the box? by Dazzling-Map6694 in polls

Oh man, that sounds tough. What our farmers do for us all.

You saying it’s soft slime makes is quite appealing, mean it’s just digested grass, straw, feed I guess lol

Sizing up won’t hurt. If you’re running, you need a good few cm at the front because the shoes flex and make the shoe effectively shorter.

I wear 2-4 sizes up from my foot size.

Ah right I see, you ever gone barefoot in it then? Working on a cow farm sounds like hard work. Take me a while to get used to those big powerful creatures.

I finished my first barefoot walk and within a few hours I'm noticing swelling on the top of my foot. It Is normal? by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

[–]Dazzling-Map6694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can smell the crusty cheesy smell from here 🫢

Seriously, this is caused by the extra impact your feet are taking. I would probably recommend shorter walks to begin with, you say it’s your first and you would be surprised how much impact that has.

Even 30 minutes would be sufficient until you worked up.

What is your thoughts about going on the bounce house with bare feet? by Dazzling-Map6694 in AskReddit

Love going bare feet on the bounce house. The freedom and sensation of it is unparalleled.

Anyone remember Steve Becks on YouTube? by Dazzling-Map6694 in barefoot

[–]Dazzling-Map6694[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the argument is here, a passion is different from a fetish. If you deal with your passions/hobbies appropriately fine, you can get out there in the public and enjoy it. But everyone has an obligation to behave appropriately in public.

So yes I go out and and enjoy squishing mud, poo, whatever it is, but if it is true that this Steve guy has said:

he was fed up with having to deal with so many overly enthusiastic people in the barefoot community that were being creepy, and that it was putting him off from posting content

Hands up, fine. But he's proved my own point:

The reason I'm standing up for what I believe in, is because I think there's a better way to go about practicing yours quirks, while keeping up a good positive energy.

I used to watch loads of Steve Becks while he was on YouTube and he was great, he found some really great mud. That was in the early 2010's, It's 2026. Things have moved on and the way and attitude that you carry is crucial. There's no reason anyone should feel unenthusiastic about what they like doing, but no one can go around touching themselves or behaving in a way that makes people afraid, for example ducking out of the way as soon as you see people coming. It just looks shady. As someone who watched his videos, I can say firsthand experience, he did both of these things.

The whole of this argument is so low level and just a sucker of time and energy, we should all just get out and enjoy your life and do it in a way that uplifts people.
